Hey, I'm the "other chap" mentioned with the wicket-groovy builder implementation work. Its been on the shelf recently due to personal obligations (new job, new company, new apartment). Those are clearing up, so I was getting back to it soon. Having Grails integration will raise the interest level in the builder implementation by orders of magnitude, so the "soon" mentioned above will be this weekend. I hope to have something usable in the very near future.
I think the grails-wicket integration is great. I like a lot of the concepts in Wicket, but having worked on the builder for a while, Wicket's design is very Java-centric and needs something like the builder to work well with Groovy. Specifically, The builder does "work", but its still fairly early stage. Don't judge my coding ability on how it was done ;) There's a long list of things I plan on changing. As for the try-catch block in the example, its not about making Java look bad. Its just giving you an example of what some java code might look like. Its showing how Groovy coding makes life easier for a very real situation. I like Java. I wouldn't be doing this stuff if I didn't, right? So, how would you handle that situation if your model objects threw app-specific exceptions? I think with good IDE support (auto-imports, etc), having Java and Groovy sitting next to each other will be a fantastic combo. As for the onSubmit in a closure, I was just working with what's available. You could also subclass Form and use that directly, rather than use a closure. At a conceptual level, and anonymous inner class is doing the same thing (yeah, I know, closures are different. Search for the wicket thing in the groovy mailing list). Anyway, good work on the integration. I'll be giving that a spin asap. -Kevin On 5/18/07, graemer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes that is a shame, someone needs to write a iBatis Grails plugin ;-) > > We do plan to support JPA one day so maybe that will introduce more > deployment options, unfortunately with any enterprisey stuff you can't > always satisfy everyone > > Cheers > Graeme > > > Thomas R.
