Enhancing Widget Support for jQuery TUSCANY-4077
As an learning step for enhancing the widget support, I'm looking
through files like WidgetImplementation.java,
DojoJavaScriptComponentGeneratorImpl.java. Is there anything else I
should look on for? We can implement the jquery support just lyk
json-rpc rt? If yes I'll try to put up how the composite file addition
looks like. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi Luciano,
I've written the final draft of my proposal at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/Proposal+For+Tuscany+-+Akhil+Anil
I'm very much looking forward to be a part of contributing to open source.
Kindly, review my final draft and advice me if any changes have to be done
to improve the the chances of getting selected.
Thankyou so much,

Hi,
public interface *ComponentJavaScriptGenerator *{
/**
** Return the QName that identify the Component script generator*
* * This is used to identify different generators supporting different
JavaScript frameworks*
*
* @return The QName
*/
QName getQName();
...
}
There is already this field QName in ComponentJavaScriptGenerator that is
defined in DojoJavaScriptComponentGeneratorImpl as
*private static final QName NAME = new QName("
http://tuscany.apache.org/xmlns/sca/1.1",
"component.script.generator.dojo");*
*
*
As mentioned in the comments (marked in red), its for supporting different
JS frameworks. Can we bring this out into the *.composite files and present
it as a configuration option to the user. But I'm confused as of how to do
it rt now. I'm gonna look all over the samples to find if such examples are
there for technologies other than js. Any suggestions on where to look?
BTW, is there any specific format for the proposal? Is there an example
available?

Right now, as we only support dojo, there is no configuration, it just
expects that the right dependencies are available in the classpath. Having
said that, when we start supporting two, we might want to look for
something more intelligent.

Hi,
That's great advice.Thanks! I'm reading through the store.js and also saw
the dojo.js alongwith it. I'll do as u said. BTW, where do a tuscany user
configure the application to use dojo or jquery. I dont see it configured
anywhere in the store example. Where can we add such a configuration. Just
quote me project file names, search keywords or links for any of my trivial
queries. I'll dig out the rest.

Here are some comments
1. Add the jquery option to implementation.widget to handle jquery codes
<composite xmlns="http://www.osoa.org/xmlns/sca/1.0"
xmlns:t="http://tuscany.apache.org/xmlns/sca/1.0"
targetNamespace="http://store"
name="store">
<component name="store">
<t:implementation.widget location="contents/store.html"/>
<service name="Widget">
<t:binding.http/>
</service>
<reference name="catalog" target="Catalog">
<t:binding.jquery/>
</reference>
...
</component>
.....
</composite>
<lresende>
We are not building a new binding for jquery. The idea is to modify
implementation widget, which currently generates javascript code based on
Dojo, to also be able to generate code based on jQuery. If you look at
implementation-widget-runtime-dojo, we will need something like
implementation-widget-runtime-jquery. Here are some of the places we
genrate js code [2] And here are some extensions we build for dojo [3]
[1]
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/sca-java-2.x/trunk/modules/implementation-widget-runtime-dojo/
[2]
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/sca-java-2.x/trunk/modules/implementation-widget-runtime-dojo/src/main/java/org/apache/tuscany/sca/implementation/widget/dojo/DojoJavaScriptComponentGeneratorImpl.java
[3]
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/sca-java-2.x/trunk/modules/web-javascript-dojo/src/main/resources/tuscany/
</lresende>
2. Include a generated jQuery plugin
<!-- one js include per sca component -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jQuery.tuscany.js"></script>jQuery
plugins extends the core jQuery nature [1] . This file would be generated
by a generator function in the server side.
[1] Book Reference : jQuery in Action, Chapter 8
<lresende>
I'm not sure if we need a jQuery plugin, we might be able to use the jQuery
existing stuff such as $.ajax
</lresende>
3. Defining html In Resources
The user can write everything in under jQuery syntax and we will have code
to handle it in the generated plugin file.
For Eg:
var ref2 = $.tuscanyReferenceCall.("catalog");
var ref2 = $.tuscanyReferenceCall.("shoppingCart");
<lresende>
We should not have to change the application in order to use jQuery, we
should be able to swap the jars in the classpath, or have some kind of
switch on the composite file, but the application stays the same. The idea
is basically enable applications that are already using dojo, to use dojo,
but the ones that use jquery, use jquery, and not have two js frameworks
just because of Tuscany.
</lresende>
As next step, try to use js debugger and see what goes on on the client
side of store sample application, particularly on the generated store.js
file.

Take a look at the Widget Implementation
http://tuscany.apache.org/sca-java-implementationwidget.html
We should be able to use jQuery as the javascript client to communicate
with the backend. And it should be plugable (e.g. some people will use
dojo, others jquery)
