[Tapestry Wiki] Trivial Update of "gsoc2011-RightClickMenu" by Dragan Sahpaski

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Tapestry Wiki" for change notification.

The "gsoc2011-RightClickMenu" page has been changed by Dragan Sahpaski.
http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/gsoc2011-RightClickMenu?action=diff&rev1=2&rev2=3

--------------------------------------------------

  The component is meant to be integrated within the tapestry5 framework or as a standalone library. As far as I know no such component is provided publicly yet.
   
  '''Detailed Description:'''
- '''The first goal''' (or deliverable) will be providing the Right Click Menu component as a mixin for t5 components. The menu options will contain pairs of labels and t5 links which are ordinary links or event links (able to update a zone for example), that will be configured with some kind of Right Click Menu model interface. The clicks will be processed as t5 events produced for example from an event link. Also it is intended that advanced usage scenarios for enterprise applications are considered like for example having all the options for all the menus in one application in a database and producing them in some generic manner. 
  
- '''The second goal''' is to provide integration with the all mighty t5 grid component, so that we can have right click options in the grid cells and rows with possibly different options for each cell/row. This means that in a grid with 20 cells, 20 javascript instances of the client side component may exist. To avoid bloating the page with many instances of the component possibly not used at all, look at the third goal.

- '''The third goal''' is to provide ajax behavior for the menu's options (label/link pairs) i.e. clicking the component will produce a waiting.. or similar menu that is refreshed with the actual menu contents with ajax update from the server. This can help cases of components with too many menus, like for example loops or grids (see the second goal).

- '''The fifth goal''' is to provide detailed documentation about the component (or mixin), demo examples of most common and advanced usage scenarios and maybe one video tutorial.

  '''Additional Information:''' 
  I am able to commit to this project alone as my standalone activity for the summer.
