wicket page 'views'

Hi,

There are examples of use of different views in the todoapp (table,calendar
etc.). I would like to implement tabs in the Wicket Viewer and am wondering
if a similar views approach can be used at the top level?

That is, to have some standard view layouts that can be switched, maybe by
the user or by the developer alone.

Hi Steve,

I think you have discussed the same recently at
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/isis-users/201507.mbox/%3CCALJOYLFwqrDb5As4W51x1oVc=2-44EoaPrDZoQnqwD2_T2u7Mg@mail.gmail.com%3E
That's why I wasn't sure what is the difference with your new question.

As Dan explained there are ideas and tickets in JIRA about implementing
this but so far such functionality is not available.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the pointers, I will start my learning. But the suggestion was
for a new feature of allowing views to be easly switched, either by the
user in the way that 'Views' are within Eclipse, or by the developer via an
attribute on the entity (a parameter of @DomainObjectLayout maybe?).

So the views are merely layout views with the hierarchy of the class placed
into parts of the view. (I am coming from XForms where parts of the view
are bound to parts of the (data) model via 'group' elements (and group
within group)).

There is already an automatic layout process that assigns properties to
groups, maybe this can be enhanced further?

I should understand the present details and come back with more clarity.

Hi,

Everything is possible!

I do not understand what exactly you need, so here are some options:
- you can setup your own version of EntityPage that will be used for any
entity.
- if you need to have the tabs only for some specific entity types then you
could use a ViewModel and custom Panel that visualize them in the page's
content.
- you say "top level", so may be you want to provide a custom header for
the page with a tabbed panel under the menu. This is possible too.
