JSP Tag Library for AjaxTK?

[dsmalley]

Hi,

First of all, I want to say that ZCS is a very impressive suite, especially for a beta. To be honest, though, it is the AjaxTK which impresses me the most.

I am quite interested in using it as a general web application toolkit. However, I would rather not write the JavaScript in my webpages; I'm not fond of script, and I've had problems using it in large distributed projects.

It occurs to me, however, that it should be possible to wrap the DWT and other objects in JSP tags, which could then be used in any JSP authoring environment. I was able to do a small proof-of-concept for this in a few hours this evening. In addition to making it possible to use the toolkit without writing script, I think it would be possible to create XML databindings this way. Are there any plans to provide such a tag library for AjaxTK?

The AjaxTags project (http://ajaxtags.sourceforge.net) is something like this, but the actual control set is very limited and not as visually attractive as AjaxTK.

We don't have plans at this time to create a set of taglibs. We use 100% Javascript on the client(other than a JSP or two to start things off) so don't really need them today.

Hi,

I would also be interested in having such Tag libraries and would be ready to contribute them. Would the Zimbra team be willing to accept such a contribution ?

dsmalley, would you be ready to show me what you've got so far ?

Best regards
