OK, first off ERXJavaScript is not Ajax technology so you want to
avoid it when doing whizzy Web 2.0 stuff. They really don't play
all that nicely together.
You can inherit from AjaxComponent and implement
addRequiredWebResources something like this:
protected void addRequiredWebResources(WOResponse response) {
ERXResponseRewriter.addScriptResourceInHead(response, context(),
"Ajax", "prototype.js");
ERXResponseRewriter.addStylesheetResourceInHead(response,
context(), "Ajax", "calendar.css");
ERXResponseRewriter.addScriptResourceInHead(response, context(),
"Ajax", "calendar.js");
ERXResponseRewriter.addScriptResourceInHead(response, context(),
"Ajax", "date.js");
}
Or try putting similar code in appendToResponse. Does that work?
Ok, putting it in appendToResponse and not subclassing AjaxComponent
didn't work, so I now am subclassing it and it is loading the js
files.
BUT.....
There is almost always a but when integrating other Ajax stuff into
Wonder.
Because the js libraries I'm using are in turn loading other js
files that are in their library with relative paths, it is causing a
url like this to be generated:
http://localhost:21666/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Pulse.woa/wo/undefined../bespin/editor/component.js
which causes a js error:
failed loading undefined../bespin/editor/component.js with error:
SyntaxError: Parse error
It looks as though this is something that dojo does. How does the
ajax framework handle interdependent js files from libraries or are
they uses the minified ones?
A couple of things:
1. Relative urls are very unlikey to be your friend if you are
expecting WO to manage the resources
2. The "undefined" in the URL above looks like something in JavaScript
is undefined. Perhaps the root path to the original js file? Fixing
that might fix your problem
I'd work on the undefined first. If that gets fixed it will either
work or give a different problematic URL. What do to next?
DirectConnect (localhost:21666) is also unlikely to be your friend
here. You could go through a web server and just give up on the idea
of having these taken from your project resources at development
time. Make a softlink from the web server's doc root to where the
JavaScript is and use result <script> tags to load them with URLs
starting with /. Wonder also has some very nice resource handling
built into its resource manager. I don't know much about it, but it
is intended to help with things like this. Relatives paths might not
be handled, I am not sure.
Mike did the work on getting prototypes, scriptaculous etc working so
maybe he has some good ideas here.

I tried doing it before calling super, but it complained that the
session had died.
That seems... odd.
