T5: Buttons, JS popup, Ajax/Zone and ActionLink
Hi
I have a feeling like this is so simple and I'm missing something
really obvious. I have a question on the recommended approach for a
specific scenario:
An HTML button showing a JS popup rendered via Ajax. Here is specific example:
http://www.chdist.com/industrial-safety-supplies/personal-protective-equipment/d-106931-106931-153343
This is a struts app which I'm converting to Tapestry. On go-live,
other than URLs, it must look exactly like current production so I
have to preserve the look-and-feel as well as the behavior.
My question is, how should I approach this? Currently, the price
button invokes a JS call. So how can I call actionlink URL from a
JavaScript?

Every event (ActionLink triggers events) has an URL. To get it, create a
ComponentResources field and add the @Inject annotation to it, then use
its Link createEventLink(String eventType, Object... context) method. It
returns a Link. Use its toAbsoluteURI() to get the URL itself then pass it
to your JavaScript, must probably by using RenderSupport.addScript()
(you'll need to @Inject it too). This page has some RenderSupport
examples: http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5AndJavaScriptExplained.
Tapestry JumpStart (http://jumpstart.doublenegative.com.au/) should have
some examples too.

The alternative to hiding a link on the page (if you want a better
separation of logic) is to pass a JSonObject with your data directly
to the JavaScript method. This way if you need to you can easily pass
additional data to the client for processing.
So at the top of your class
@Import(library = "foo/your-file.js")
Example:
void afterRender()
{
Link youUrl = resources.createEventLink("yourAction");
JSONObject spec = new JSONObject();
spec.put("yourUrl", yourUrl.toURI());
.....
javascriptSupport.addInitializerCall("yourJs", spec);
}
Javascript:
Tapestry.Initializer.yourJs = function(spec)
{
...
}

Thanks Thiago! I'll take a look at these examples.
@Michael - how clever !! This may be just the shortcut I needed.

My first thought would be to include the action link in the page somewhere,
but set its style to "display: none".
Then your JavaScript can do something like
document.location.href = document.getElementById('myActionLink').href;
In the past I've done something similar to trigger a zone update from inside
a JavaScript function.
