This module comes with a new tapestry.js [1] which is my vision of the agnostic layer (java equivalent would be an interface). Then there is a tapestry-jquery.js [2] , which is the implementation of tapestry.js with jQuery (java equivalent would be implementation class) Original tapestry.js is dropped with the help of tapestry5-clientresources library [3] <http://github.com/got5/tapestry5-jquery/blob/master/src/main/resources/org/got5/tapestry5/jquery/tapestry-jquery.js> - How would jQuery integrate with existing applications that use tapestry AJAX / prototype features? This library aims 100% jQuery websites. Integration with existing applications should not be a problem if you did not code additional Prototype/Scriptaculous JavaScript. Just run the integration tests of this library if you want a proof, they run tests against the same application: one time with jQuery, another time with Prototype! If you want to use both Prototype and jQuery, then simply activate jQuery.noConflict() [4]. The thing is that I rely on the same methods specifications than the original tapestry.js, then it's transparent in most cases. For some component I didn't manage to integrate jQuery without modifying the component Java class. (Most of the time simply because of the very restrictive @IncludeJavascriptLibrary annotation...). For theses components I had to fork the original Java class (see [5] for an example on Palette) See README.md [6] for complete list of components: - integrated in a transparent way - which are a fork of core tapestry components The good thing with the jQuery library is that with are aiming to integrate lots of jQuery plugins. Dialog component is just the first one of a long list! Mmm, I feel like I should blog on this subject. :) [1] http://github.com/got5/tapestry5-jquery/blob/master/src/main/resources/org/got5/tapestry5/tapestry.js <http://github.com/got5/tapestry5-jquery/blob/master/src/main/resources/org/got5/tapestry5/tapestry.js> [2] http://github.com/got5/tapestry5-jquery/blob/master/src/main/resources/org/got5/tapestry5/jquery/tapestry-jquery.js [3] http://github.com/got5/tapestry5-clientresources [4] http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries [5] http://github.com/got5/tapestry5-jquery/blob/master/src/main/java/org/got5/tapestry5/jquery/components/Palette.java [6] http://github.com/got5/tapestry5-jquery/blob/master/README.md On Tue, Jun 1, 2010 at 10:05 AM, Peter Stavrinides < p.stavrini...@albourne.com> wrote: > Hi > > What do you mean by: > " This library fully drop out Prototype, Scriptaculous, Blackbird and > tapestry.js and replace them by jQuery." > > - How does that work, does Tapestry not require 'tapestry.js' or does > jquery provide some equivalent? > - How would jQuery integrate with existing applications that use tapestry > AJAX / prototype features? > > I get the impression you could only use this module for a new application, > am I correct in thinking this? > > cheers, > Peter > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Robin Komiwes" <robin.komi...@gmail.com> > To: "Tapestry users" <users@tapestry.apache.org> > Sent: Wednesday, 28 April, 2010 12:54:18 GMT +02:00 Athens, Beirut, > Bucharest, Istanbul > Subject: [Announce] Tapestry5 jQuery integration and > Tapestry5-ClientResources > > Hey there, > > We are glad to introduce "tapestry5-jquery": a jQuery integration > for Tapestry 5!
