Hello All:

 

I'm looking for some advice on how to create a Wicket-based dashboard
with functionality along the lines of iGoogle.com.  That is, resizable
and drag/drop-able sub-window components that can be arranged by the
user.  And the dashboard layout must be serialized for the next time the
user logs in.

 

I've mocked up something that basically works with Matej's modal window
extension as is, although it's modal (obviously) and I can only get one
of the mini-windows on the screen at a time.  My Panel class retrieves
the x/y offset (CSS top and left) and window size from a database table.


 

I was thinking of copying and altering Matej's extension for my own use
(rather than extending, since a "dashboard component" isn't exactly a
logical extension of "modal window").  It seems like he has all the
basic window functionality there.

 

Is there an easier way to do this?  Is there a simpler
window/dialog-like component available that I'm not aware of?

 

I know a Wicketized Apache Jetspeed is available that handles this
situation, but I was more interested in rolling my own dashboard, if
possible...

 

Thanks for any input!

 

Sincerely,

Nathan B. (Richardson, Texas)
