Wicket and Ext JS integration
We currently use Ext JS 2.2 (http://extjs.com) with Struts 1.x, and we are
considering migrating to Wicket. I have seen on the mail archive that some
people have integrated Wicket and Ext JS with mixed success. In particular,
I found the wicket-tools-extjs project,
http://www.wickettools.org/index.php/extjs-integrationm, which is version
0.1.0, published in February 2008.
Is the wicket-tools-extjs project in active development or was that project
abandoned? Is there any other significant work undergoing to integrate
Wicket and Ext JS?
Thanks,
Richard Allen

I could be interested to share experience about that, but now I'm really in
early stage so I think it would be too early to share the code.
Anyway the main idea is to use the Wicket behaviour feature to "attach" an
Ext component to the associated Wicket component.
This is the easiest part. More complex integration like Data Store could be
always done using a Wicket ajax behavior.
But I' haven't yet tryed to integrate more complex stuff like editable
grids, groups and so on . .

The licensing is a pain. We started using ExtJS when it was LGPL, then they
switched to GPL. By then we were already invested, so we bought a commercial
license -- kind of feel like we got suckered into that one. If I had a
chance to do it again I would just use YUI. We use ExtJS on top of YUI.
However, ExtJS is a good product, even though they made a poor licensing
decision.
The licensing problem is just a fact that we have to deal with now, so I'm
trying to find out what the easiest path is for integrating ExtJS 2.2 with
Wicket. If someone else has already done the effort or started the effort,
then that would help. The amount of work involved in integrating ExtJS 2.2
with Wicket is part of our new web framework evaluation criteria.

The GPL licensing of ExtJS is really a brain damage inflicting mess.
Personally I would stay very far away from JS libraries that are GPL
licensed (it is not clear how the viral aspect infects your server
side code, possibly requiring you to ship your server side code to
your users—you *are* distributing the GPL licensed code, which is

Paolo,
I think wicket-stuff (
http://wicketstuff.org/confluence/display/STUFFWIKI/Wiki) would be the place
to put the code. I would recommend the license be the Apache License,
version 2.0. As I understand, that is OK with GPL, version 3 (
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLModuleLicense), which is the
license used by ExtJS version 2.1 and up.

Yes, I'm working for a no-profit organization and it could be an interesting
option to release it as an OSS.
Do you have any suggestion where the project could be hosted? Google code?
and any idea about the licence?
Thank you, Paolo

Paolo,
Is this an open source effort? What version of ExtJS are you using?
If we were to choose to go with Wicket, we would be willing to contribute.

I'm working on a wicket-ext integration project.
Until now I've done just really simple stuff, like simple TextField,
DateField, TimeField, ComboBox, AutoComplete field and basic (static) grid
elements.
Though my implementation is trivial I would say that is really promising and
I've not found any evident obstacle to a more complete integration.
