Re: [Gui4j-user] How to use simpleInternalFrame

[Timo M. <me...@gm...>]

Hi Kay,

thank you for your response. Today I made enormous progress with the gui4j  
framework. Indeed, the missing line in the gui4jComponents.properties was  
the reason why my program didn't start.

I successfully tried the simpleInternalFrame, too, but it isn't the right  
component behaviour I am looking for. I intended to create a MDI  
application, but I see it isn't possible with gui4j. Is there another  
'best practice'? Is it possible to set the visibility for some components?  
I want to have something like a 'main menu' (perhaps a vertical toolbar at  
the left side with icon-buttons), but without having popups.

Is it possible to have a region that can load other gui4j-components  
dynamically?

Thank you
Timo

Re: [Gui4j-user] How to use simpleInternalFrame

[<ka...@we...>]

Hi Timo,

you have to have an entry in your gui4Components.properties that maps a 
factory class to the "simpleInternalFrame" element. The standard file 
contains this line:

simpleInternalFrame = org.gui4j.component.factory.Gui4jSimpleInternalFrameFactory

If you're planning to build an MDI application, note that a 
simpleInternalFrame is not a wrapper around JInternalFrame. gui4j does 
not support real internal frames. A simple internal frame is a normal 
Swing component that just happens to look a little bit like a frame with 
its use of a title bar. The Swing code underneath is a slightly modified 
version of the SimpleInternalFrame found in JGoodies.

Re: [Gui4j-user] Documentation mistake ?

[<ka...@we...>]

Hi Christophe,

I assume you're referring to the documentation of subcomponent "node" of 
component "tree". And I have to say you're right, the documentation is 
wrong about the return type. A List is required, a Collection is not 
sufficient. The reason for this is that the tree needs to know in what 
order to display the children of a node.

The return type info in the documentation is now fixed in CVS. It might 
take me a little while to update the reference on gui4.org, though.

Thanks for the hint.

Kay

[Gui4j-user] Documentation mistake ?

[Christophe J. <chr...@fr...>]

Hello,

On documentation page, 
http://www.gui4j.net/gui4jdocs/index.html
a mistake seem's occur:

"children" optional attribute is specified as 
"return type: java.util.Collection"

But in commentary, it's explained  that the type must be
"java.util.List".

Who's wrong ?? 
(according to my test, I suppose that the type required is "List", but
why collection isn't sufficient ?)


Thank's to Gui4J Team for his work on this project.

Christophe JALADY.

[Gui4j-user] How to use simpleInternalFrame

[Timo M. <me...@gm...>]

Hi Gui4j devs and users,

I am going to integrate gui4j in an MDA application, which generates Swing
applications out of UML-diagrams.

I wanted to use JInternalFrames, to get an MDI application. With gui4j I
tried to build a gui with the simpleInternalFrame-components, but I am not
successful.

How do I use simpleInternalFrames?

I get this error:

Programming error:No Component for name simpleInternalFrame registered

Here is the determinig part out of the XML file:

<borderLayout guiId="TOP">
            <placeBl anchor="center">
                <simpleInternalFrame title="InFrame">
                    <label guiId="empty" text="'Empty label'"/>
                </simpleInternalFrame>
            </placeBl>
        </borderLayout>

Thank you very much
Timo Meinen

Re: [Gui4j-user] problems building

[Kay <Kay...@be...>]

Hi Jeff,

we're not compatible to Maven 2.x. At the time of creating our maven 
project structure, Maven 2.0 was still considered beta so we took the 
stable 1.0.2 version.

http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-m1-m2.html shows the differences 
between the project structure of Maven 2.x and 1.x. There are no plans to 
migrate our structure to Maven 2.x since we don't need any of the new 
features.

I'll update the README to reflect the requirement of Maven 1.0.2.

Thanks for pointing this out,

Kay

[Gui4j-user] problem with gui4j release 1.2.2 on gui4j.org

[Kay <Kay...@be...>]

Hi all,

we have a little problem updating the webspace of gui4j.org to 1.2.2. We 
hope to have the current documentation online until tomorrow...

Thanks,

Kay 

Re: [Gui4j-user] new feature request

[Kay <Kay...@be...>]

Hi

we have discussed your requests. We will develop

1) two new (optional) attributes for <View>:  "title" and "name" that=20
would define the initial title and Swing name, respectively, of the=20
window.
2) two additional variations of Gui4j.createDialog(), one taking a=20
java.awt.Frame as its first ("parent") argument and one taking a=20
java.awt.Dialog.

Is that what you wanted?

[Gui4j-user] new feature request

[Rahul S. <shr...@ho...>]

Hi

Hi i have started using gui4j for my project, but needed some new features. 
This is my situation - i send messages to my java code as input stream. This 
consists of the xml message which pops up the GUI. This works fine. Now what 
i want is to update this popped up GUI. All this has to be dynamic. I have 
been going thru the various examples but everywhere you set the title of the 
view in the java program. Is there any way to set the title of a view (eg. a 
view that has just one label) from the xml i.e. i do not want to 
programatically specify the title of the view but let the xml decide what it 
will be.  I also want to specify the name of the window in the xml code... 
so that i can use gui4jView.getWindow().setName(nameofwindow) where 
nameofwindow is again passed by xml. Currently the way i am doing is that in 
onInit() of any component i pass the name and title and once the GUI has 
been displayed using the xml i change the title and name. Now there is one 
form which has only labels and its not possible for me call onInit().
It would be really helpful if you could add 2 new attributes in the view 
element namely title and name. So that when we send upadtes to the java 
program i just have to send the name of the view and it updates the view.

Also one more request - the createDialog takes GUI4JWindow as its first 
argument. I want to create a dialog box which has my own java swing window 
(not generated by gui4j) as its parent... so can you give an option of using 
Frame as the owner of the dialog window or suggest a way of how this can be 
done in the current code.

Thanks
Rahul

Fw: [Gui4j-user] how to read xml from an InputStream

[Kay <Kay...@be...>]

Hi Rahul,

check out the latest gui4j from CVS. There's an interface=20
Gui4jResourceProvider with a single method:
        InputStream getResource(String fullyQualifiedName);

All XML files are loaded via this method. There's a default implementation =

that uses files. If you want to read the resources in a different way=20
you'll have to write your own implementation and provide Gui4j with an=20
instance of it via Gui4j.setResourceProvider().

The String argument of getResource() is the fully qualified name of the=20
required resource. Resource names use "/" as their separator, i.e. if you=20
loaded a resource "foo" which uses an include with url=3D"bar" then the=20
resource provide will be asked to load "foo/bar".

Note that resources are cached, i.e. the resource provider is never asked=20
twice for the same resource. Also note that Gui4j itself resolves ".."=20
notation, i.e. if you loaded a resource "foo/bar" which uses an include=20
with url=3D"../hello" then the resource provider is asked to load=20
"foo/hello".

Keep us posted on your progress with your resource provider.

Kind Regards,

Kay Kr=FCger-Barvels

Re: [Gui4j-user] how to read xml from an InputStream





Hi Rahul,

the Gui4jResourceProvider will have to implement a method that provides=20
the xml as an InputStream. At least that's what I agreed on with Joachim.=20
I'm not up to date right now with how far his code changes are, but I will =

talk to him tomorrow.

The gui4j default implementation of Gui4jRexourceProvider will only be=20
able to read from files. Other implementations (like yours) will have to=20
cover other situations.

I'll keep you informed about the progress on this topic.

Thanks,
Kay=20

Re: [Gui4j-user] how to read xml from an InputStream

[Kay <Kay...@be...>]

Hi again,

I'm afraid it turns out that we have to change a little bit more 
internally in order to encapsulate the mechanics of loading XML files in 
one central place. We'll have to postpone that to next week.

Rahu, do you plan to use (or are you using) the include functionality of 
gui4j (<Include> element)? If so, how would you like to handle those 
includes if your original file was loaded in a custom manner and passed to 
gui4j via an InputStream? Our current idea is that there's a new interface 
named Gui4jResourceProvider and if you provide gui4j with an object of 
that type it will be responsible for loading all XML input, also for 
includes. That means, it is up to your implementation to interpret the 
"url" attribute of <Include>. The content of "url" does not necessarily 
need to be a real URL anymore, of course.

Kay

Re: [Gui4j-user] how to read xml from an InputStream

[Kay <Kay...@be...>]

Hi,

Reading in the xml is currently done via Java's Ressource mechanism, so 
it's not possible right now to simply read from a String or InputStream.

I've talked to Joachim about this and we think it would be a useful 
addition to be able to chose one of several ways to read in the xml 
definition. We'll provide a central hook in the code for loading xml 
definitions so that it's possible to provide different implementations. 
The default way will be the current Resource mechanism. After the hook is 
in place it should be easy for you to implement any loading 
mechanism you like. We'll be happy to include your contribution into gui4j 
then.

We'll send a note when the hook is in CVS...

Thanks,

Kay

[Gui4j-user] how to read xml from an InputStream






Hi

I have recetly started using GUI4J and this is the prolem i am facing. I 
wanted to render the GUI depending on the messages that are being passed 
through a socket. I was browsing through the API and currently there is no 

mechanism where the xml can be read from a String (or more generally as a 
stream). The source xml is always being treated as a file. Is it possible 
to 
provide a way (i.e. if it does not exist - and if it does please can you 
provide an example) by which the xml is read as a string(or InputStream) 
rather than as a name of the resource?

Thanks
Rahul

[Gui4j-user] gui4j-1.2.1

[Kay <Kay...@be...>]

Hi all,

gui4 1.2.1 has just been released. The documentation on gui4j.org is 
updated as I write these lines.

The release has only minor changes, but if you work with comboBox 
components you might be interested in its new "manualActionOnly" 
attribute.

Regards,
Kay 

Re: [Gui4j-user] Object Manipulation

[Kay <Kay...@be...>]

Hi Jan,

I have overhauled the Beleg-Example and renamed it "Expenses". You can get 
it from the Gui4jDocumentation module in CVS on sourceforge.

All examples are now in subpackages of org.gui4j.examples. I have not yet 
adapted the documentation creation mechanism so the www.gui4j.org website 
still has the old examples. I'm going to do that tomorrow.

The expenses example now shows
-- how to layout a typical table/button scenario
-- how to use a toolbar
-- how to use a context menu in a table
-- how to build a modal dialogbox for editing a record
-- a possible approach to form validation (open the edit dialog, clear the 
id field and click Ok)
-- how to implement inserts, deletes and edits in a table
-- how to use Gui4jEvents to update the gui when the backend model changed
-- how to setup a utility program ("CheckXML") that checks if all gui4j 
xml files are valid (method calls, etc.)

Note that this example does not address any non-GUI problems like 
persistence, realistic domain validation, etc.

Please let me know if this example helped to clarify some points. We're 
happy about any feedback...

Kay

Hello,

I've startet to evaluate gui4j, and I'm missing the point how Object
Manipulation can be implemented.
Could you please provide me with some additional fragments to extend

Possible Manipulations would be:=20

 - adding new items
 - manipulating and saving existing items
 - deleting items
 - validating user input

Thanks in advance

[Gui4j-user] Re: using gui4j inside applets

[Kay <Kay...@be...>]

Hi,

The starting point for displaying a gui with gui4j is always a call to 
either Gui4j.createView() (for JFrames) or Gui4j.createDialog() (for 
JDialogs). JApplets are not supported.

I'm not an expert in applets. Is it specified how an applet container 
(e.g. a browser) instantiates an applet? I would suspect that it calls the 
default constructor for the desired JApplet-Subclass and then calls the 
lifecycle methods init(), start(), etc. So to use gui4j we would need to 
provide a Gui4jApplet base class that clients could subclass just to 
override some methods that define the xml resource to use etc. The base 
class would be responsible to render its contents according to the xml 
definition meaning the applet would have to load the whole gui4j 
framework. In principle this could work, but if the applet is used 
remotely (as they usually are) that might be too much overhead.

Does that make sense? Any other thoughts about this?

Kay
