Do Wicket and Ajax Rhyme?
Wicket inspires a lot of people to write nice, clean web applications. Now the code_poet has written a nice poem about Wicket and AJAX. It has good metrum and it shows that even though AJAX support is still crude, Wicket and AJAX rhyme!
Ryan Sonnek has published a Auto Complete TextField component for Wicket using AJAX. Although the component code is a bit complex, the usage of the component has the Wicket feel all over it.
How would you like to use a full fledged AJAX component with no more code than:
And Java:
AutocompleteResultGenerator searcher = new AutocompleteResultGenerator() { public String[] getResults(String input) { return new String[] {"Bob", "Jamie", "Eric"}; } }; form.add(new AutoCompleteTextField("email", searcher));
That would be awesome, wouldn't it? With Wicket this is possible.
