Pivot Web Application Example
Hi!
Could anyone post in some place (or send me) some example or reference of a
web application based on Pivot?
All the examples on the project site are desktop based, and it would be nice
to have some clear explanation on how to configure a web based project. For
example: How to organize artifacts in a project and how to configure a web
page to load the components. And, even more, how could I comunicate with EJB
components if I decide to deploy the web application based on Pivot in a
machine, and deploy EJB components in another machine?
Sorry if these sounds like stupid questions or necessities, but since the
tecnology aims to be used in both platforms, web and desktop, its necessary
to show examples in both cases for a fast evaluation.
In my specific case, I have to set up an architecture possibly using Pivot,
and its being difficult to find direct examples for a fast prototype.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards.

Just to try to clarify - applet deployment is different than WAR deployment. WAR libraries go in /WEB-INF/lib. Applet libraries can go anywhere in your web root that is visible to the browser, but I generally use /lib.
You may want to look into Oracle/Sun's best practices for applet deployment. Pivot applications deployed in the browser are simply deployed the same way.
Hope this helps,

This is potentially doable if we add an orientation property to the Form class. That way, you could nest forms inside of other forms and get the highlight behavior on nested fields. You are welcome to file a feature request in JIRA for this if you like - I'd suggest submitting it for v 2.0.

This is unfortunately not supported. The Form container supports one flag per field (where fields are defined by the form's sections). Form has no way of knowing that you have multiple text inputs inside the box pane, so it can't attach a flag to those text inputs. It can only show a flag for the fields it knows about.

Displaying multiple form errors
Posted by Shahzad Bhatti <sb...@peak6.com>.
I am trying to build a form with multiple fields and would like to show all errors when form validation fails. From looking at samples, it looks like we can only have one Form.Flag per box pane such as following snippet from Forms.java
submitButton.getButtonPressListeners().add(new ButtonPressListener() {
@Override
public void buttonPressed(Button button) {
String lastName = lastNameTextInput.getText();
String firstName = firstNameTextInput.getText();
Form.Flag flag = null;
if (lastName.length() == 0
|| firstName.length() == 0) {
flag = new Form.Flag(MessageType.ERROR, "Name is required.");
}
Form.setFlag(nameBoxPane, flag);
if (flag == null) {
errorLabel.setText(null);
Prompt.prompt("Pretending to submit...", window);
} else {
errorLabel.setText("Some required information is missing.");
}
}
});
Is it possible to show error messages next to each field when form validation fails. I would appreciate for any examples. Thanks.

Re: Managing WTKX files for large applications

Named actions added to the global action dictionary must be unique - however you can create any number of action instances you like and assign them to member or page variables. Does that help?

Sorry, wrong wording, I did mean to say action rather than id. Cool
feature on the include, that will make it much easier to break up wtkx
files that are logically in the same namespace.
Would it be possible to have actions reside within a namespace or have
some scoping rather than being global? I know this may not be possible
since all actions have to be defined prior to loading a resource.

I believe you are referring to WTKX IDs, not action names. If so, this behavior has been corrected for Pivot 1.5:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-428
In previous versions, includes would inherit the namespace of the parent WTKX file if the include was not given its own wtkx:id. This wasn't very intuitive. We now define an "inline" attribute for the <wtkx:include> element. If true, the include inherits the parent's namespace; otherwise, it defines its own. The default value is false.

It's working now =)
The problem was the first '/' in the lib declaration.
Now the application is being lauched, but I still get an error "location is

Now I'm going to investigate this new error (reference problems, maybe).
Thank you all very much for the help!

Re: Managing WTKX files for large applications

Thanks Greg, can't wait to use 1.5 version.

Actually, WTKX includes are intended to help facilitate division of labor across team members. However, earlier versions of Pivot didn't make this quite as easy as it should have been. The Bindable interface (introduced in Pivot 1.4 but improved for Pivot 1.5) makes it much easier to associate WTKX files with "controller code". I'm using it throughout my current app and it is working great.
The best example of this right now is probably the 1.5 version of Stock Tracker (specifically, StockTrackerWindow):
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/tutorials/src/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/stocktracker/

This isn't something you get "for free" with WTKX includes, but you can easily incorporate it into your app (the Kitchen Sink does something similar). When you need to instantiate your sub-panels, just create a new WTKXSerializer, load your class, and add it to the component hierarchy.

Actually, WTKX includes are intended to help facilitate division of labor across team members. However, earlier versions of Pivot didn't make this quite as easy as it should have been. The Bindable interface (introduced in Pivot 1.4 but improved for Pivot 1.5) makes it much easier to associate WTKX files with "controller code". I'm using it throughout my current app and it is working great.
The best example of this right now is probably the 1.5 version of Stock Tracker (specifically, StockTrackerWindow):

Managing WTKX files for large applications

>From looking at the examples and tutorials, I found that most of them deal with combined WTKX files using includes. I think that approach may not scale to large application with a number of developers working on separate pieces. Ideally, I would like to use MVC style design similar to Apple's Cocoa development where Nib files that are equivalent to WTKX files are associated with each View/Controller. For example, I might have a root controller that is responsible for showing initial view (with menus/menu-buttons) and then have different controllers for various views. When user clicks on some action, it would then load the controller and load the view from the WTKX files. I am curious how other folks actually manage WTKX files for large applications especially when working with multiple developers so that they don't step on each other's work. Thanks.

Hi Todd,
my mistake. The lib directory isn't under WEB-INF as I said.
It's in the same directory as the index,jsp page, and I can access the jar
files when request then in the browser.

Re: Pivot Web Application Example

The applet will make an HTTP request for the jar files, and anything under
the WEB-INF folder isn't publicly accessible via HTTP, so that could be the
problem. Can you point your browser to the URL of the jars that you specify
in the HTML page and get the jar file in response?

Where are you putting the Pivot libraries? In the app I am currently working on, I use Pivot on both the client and server. I put the client libraries in a /lib directory in my application's web root, and the server libraries in /WEB-INF/lib.

Hi Todd,
thanks for your answer.
Following your sugestion, I created two projects. One for the Pivot classes
and markups (this is the application jar file) and another project for the
web application, that uses the pivot application jar file.
The imagens show project details and the main page, that would load the
applet. I'm getting errors because the applet isn't able to load the
dependencies.
Am I missing something?

Re: Pivot Web Application Example
Posted by Todd Volkert <tv...@gmail.com>.
Hi Luiz,
The only real requirement is that your jar files are locatable via HTTP on
the same domain as your HTML page containing the applet. Then, you will
generally use Sun's Java Deployment Toolkit (a Javascript file containing
cross-browser JS) to detect the user's Java plug-in version and write out
the applet tags (or force them to install the Java plug-in). Examples of
this can be found in the online Pivot demos (e.g.
http://pivot.apache.org/demos/kitchen-sink.html for a full-screen app, and
http://pivot.apache.org/demos/decorators.html for a non-full-screen one).
The only thing that springs to mind with your EJB question is that you might
have to sign your jar files to perform cross-domain requests legally from
within the applet.
Let me know if you have any questions about the parameters that are being
passed to the applet in the examples.
Cheers,
-T

With a few minor exceptions, any Pivot application can be run either on the desktop or as an applet. This page shows a number of Pivot applications running as applets:
http://pivot.apache.org/demos/
See the section entitled "The Application Interface" for more information on how this works (note that there is a typo in this version of the tutorial - "applicationClassName" should be "application_class_name"):

I'm not an EJB expert, but maybe this article would help?
