Tsemach Hadad commented on WW-2311:
-----------------------------------

It would be great if we could enjoy both worlds:
1. Dojo Toolkit 1.00 on Client
2. Struts 2.00 on Backend
Concpetually Framework can't wrap all other framework's components , and should supply
in some manner ability to expand other widgets with other parameters without the need to couple it
to a tag I think s:component fails to this category , not sure if it's enough I'll have to dig it

> It would be nice to have a set of Dojo taglib templates that :
> 1] are (X)HTML compliant (no non-standard dojoType=.. attribute)
> 2] follow the Progressive Javascript enhancement philosophy (http://domscripting.com/presentations/xtech2006/) : the tags should fallback to pure HTML mechanisms without javascript
> I have attached what I consider the starting point of this : a few templates, based on the css_xhtml theme on which I have added dojo/dijit programmatic calls to enhance the html widgets.
> For instance, the textfield template (text.ftl) is exactly the same as css_xhtml's text.ftl, except that it can "enhance" the HTML text field into :
> - a CurrencyTextBox
> - a NumberTextBox
> - a ValidationTextBox
> - a NumberSpinner
> (I currently use non documented taglib attributes to do that, so the templates are only useable from Freemarker views...)
> So, you would create a number spinner  like that :
> <@s.textfield 
> 		theme="dojo"
> 		labelposition="left"
> 		label="%{getText('labelblabla')}"
> 		required="true"
> 		name="numberOfWhatever"
> 		dojoType="NumberSpinner"
> 		dojoMinConstraint="1" 
> 		/>
> What is currently missing :
> - a LOT of dijit's parameters are not exposed (constraints, etc)
> - a LOT of widjits are not exposed (tree, ajax grid, etc..)
> - the creation of dojo's overrides should probably be completly computer in Freemarker / Java to create a compact JS representation, instead of currently relying on javascript to create this variable and progressively populate it
> Feel free to reuse this work under whatever license suits you.
