Is there a Javabridge for ext?

[ksg9-seb]

Hi all,

i startet working with yui-ext 0.33. Now i find this really greate "update". but i don't want to work with javascript. is there a bridge to java or a java api like yui-ext?


kind regards

Sebastian

Ext 1.0 is no more or less of a bridge to Java than yui-ext 0.33 was. The reality, it's all JavaScript, always has been, and always will be. When you think Java, I think you're really thinking JavaScript without knowing it.

If you're asking whether or not there is an official Java server-side interface for Ext, at the moment the answer is no. However, that is something that we've discussed as a possibility for the longer-term. I think many people right now are using DWR with Java on the server. http://getahead.org/dwr

I mean Java, not JavaScript. A java framework which adapts the extjs scripts. I know that yui-ext 0.33 was also pure javascript, but there where also java adapters. and i'm from the javaworld, so javascript ist not really mine :)

To my knowledge, there hasn't ever been in Java adapters in yui-ext.

With yui-ext 0.33 i have a java api wich adapts the javascript, not? I create javaclasses instead of html and javascript. something like

BorderLayout bLayout = BorderLayout.create();

or

Resizable res = Resizable().create()

I mean somethink like this for extjs 1.0

extjs looks great for me. it's very well designed (what i've seen from it), da code is very modular and well developed. but javascript ist not my world, im an experienced javadeveloper, so i'm more familar with javaclasses.

There is this project ...
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-yui-ext/
It doesn't seem very active though

yep, i started to work with this project, but

1) it's very incomplete
2) there no really helpful doc
3) very confusing, cause some examples are build on version 0.3, but this version is only available per svn. but the sources don't work properly

not very useful :(

Like I said, there is currently no "official" version of what you are asking for. It might be something that we tackle at some point in the future. Right now, you'll have to get comfortable with JavaScript if you want to use Ext with Java effectively.
