UI refactoring
Hello Folks,
As now we have most of the archiva services available tru REST, this
will be more easy.
My first plan is to write a struts2 theme based on jquery and
bootstrap css (this theme will be called jqboot).
The goal is to have a shareable theme (if some folks want to use it in
their applications)
Note this means using jquery for various redback stuff (users list
etc..) and in some part of ui (ajax tabs in artifact info display
etc....)
Let me know your opinion.
Thanks,

Perso, I'd like to avoid using a new web framework.
Even if I like those frameworks which generates validation for us :-)
As the Archiva UI is not really complicated using a simple plain
html/javascript UI based on REST call could be nice/fast/simple.
Sure Vaadin helps a lot for complicated UI (which will be the case of
Kalumet) but I'm not sure about the performance especially at network
level.

Hi,
In Karaf, we're currently working on a new sub-project using Apache
Wicket/Pax-Wicket.
On ACE, we use Vaadin (it's possible to use Vaadin and Wicket together).
I like Vaadin as it allows to write directly in Java (it's an approach
similar to Echo framework).
Vaadin will certainly the framework that will be used in Apache Kalumet,
in replacement of the Echo2 one.

Hello,
To follow up on this topic.
It looks I have made some progress on this part :-).
You can have a look at this capture: http://screencast.com/t/dEPpB3rzk
Most of needed redback screen are implemented (still missing reset password).
You can test on trunk running (on top directory): mvn tomcat:run -pl
:archiva-webapp-js -am -Pjs -Pdev -am
I have created a top jira entry
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-1497 (with sub task for each
page/screen to rewrite). Do not hesitate to add if I missed some.
So now I have to document how it works :-).
Do you prefer wiki/confluence page or a something in the archiva web site ?

Note it can be an array of permissions.
After logging a function get user karma and check all element which
have this attribute. If the user doesn't have at least one of the
needed permissions the html element is hide.
See https://fisheye.codehaus.org/browse/redback/redback/trunk/redback-integrations/redback-knockoutjs/redback-knockoutjs-example/src/main/webapp/js/main.js?r=1605&r=1606#to62
function decorateMenuWithKarma
BTW permissions are checked again on rest call with the annotation
mechanism described here:
http://redback.codehaus.org/integration/rest.html
("PermissionInterceptor" section).

So Old thread and I didn't give you any report on that :-)
I have started some hacking on redback side.
The technologies/framework, I have used are the following:
* knockout as mvc javascript library (yup data binding is nice :-) )
(http://knockoutjs.com/ MIT license)
* validation with: jquery plugin validation
(http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/ dual
license MIT and GPL)
* i18n with http://code.google.com/p/jquery-i18n-properties/ (dual MIT
GPL: bascially REST services returns the already existed properties we
have and those i18n are "injected"/"transformed" on jquery template
loading and/or knockout template execution)
* js loader is requirejs (http://requirejs.org/ MIT / new BSD)
* css is twitter boostrap
* for advanced ui (we will probably need jqueryui in some place) a
theme exists in the same spirit as bootstrap
http://taitems.github.com/Aristo-jQuery-UI-Theme/ (MIT or GPL see
sources https://github.com/taitems/Aristo-jQuery-UI-Theme/blob/master/css/Aristo/Aristo.css).
The POC is currently in a module called redback-knockoutjs-example in
redback source (the usual mvn tomcat:run works fine).
To handle karma on the ui, an attribute must be added in element which
need roles.
Sample:
<li style="display: none" redback-permissions="{permissions:
['archiva-manage-users']}"><a href="#"
onclick="displayUsersGrid()">User List</a></li>
Currently I tried to make js files shareable for various applications
(btw some will be moved from the example module to an other one called
redback-knockoutjs-integration )
But I'm not really sure to be able to do something shareable as it was
done for struts2 integration.
When I will have finish all the needed screens in redback, I will
probably start a branch in archiva and start working on integrating
this.
All comments/help are welcome :-)

A kind of similar is Backbone.js too:
http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/
The rendering of Backbone is interesting and the features are very close
knockoutJS.

Hi Olivier,
Do you know knockoutJS?
http://knockoutjs.com/
It's a good JS framework with data binding, With it it is easy to write UI
with a Model-View pattern and a complete independence between JS and html.
