Repainting during AJAX callbacks
by C. David Shaffer 26 May '11

26 May '11

Before I get too far let me say that I don't know, yet, whether this is an unnecessary hack or a worthwhile framework. I'm using it now and like it but I'd be happy to replace it with something better is people can tell me what that better thing is :-). Here's the problem: During an AJAX callback (request, update or script) sometimes a component unrelated to the one making the callback needs to be repainted. Normally this happens as the result of an announcement. While announcements serve to decouple the components they also prevent the source of the announcement from knowing to cause this other component to paint. Basically this motivates using Comet but I don't like Comet and find that I don't need Comet's level of "server push" for any of my applications. What I need is simply the way tack a little extra javascript on the end of AJAX calls... My solution: Repaintable in the Cincom Public Store Repository. (This package uses JQuery.) It is a very simple framework so easily abandoned if it is the wrong thing to do :-) Here's how it works: Components subclass RPRepaintable (or you merge RPRepaintable's methods into your component hierarchy if that isn't possible). You must also use RPSession or a subclass as your session class for your application. When a component wants to append javascript onto the end of the current response to an AJAX request it: self repaint: 'some-jquery-selector' using: [:h | "h is a canvas"] The block with be invoked with a canvas. Paint on it was you normally would. Its contents will be loaded by jQuery into the element(s) indentified by 'some-jquery-selector' (normally an element id). To simplify things, if the component wants to be able to completely repaint itself it can implement the following trio of methods: renderContentOn: html html div id: self contentId; with: [self paintOn: html] contentId ^'some-unique-id' paintOn: html html text: 'Put your normal renderContentOn: stuff here' Then, such a component just has to send itself #repaint to repaint its contents. So, suppose you receive an announcement and you want to repaint yourself. Just do "self repaint". Its that simple. It works whether the original AJAX request was "script" or "html" type. Sending #repaint (#repaint:using) during a full-page repaint (normal HTTP request) does nothing...your component will be painted during the render phase anyway so normally this is not a problem. An example is provided in the Public Store Repository (Repaintable-example). Some notes: 1) All AJAX requests must either be dataType 'script' or 'html'. This means that cases when you don't render anything like: html div onClick: ((html jQuery: #foo) ajax callback: [self foo]) will have to modified to html div onClick: ((html jQuery: #foo) ajax dataType: 'script'; callback: [self foo]) I think that this this is the result of a bug in Repaintable but I can't tell. In practice 99% of my AJAX requests are either html: or script: requests anyway. In those cases you don't need to send dataType:. 2) If you are using AJAX for purposes other than sending back HTML or javascript you might end up with cruft being appended to your responses :-) as components try to repaint themselves. This isn't a problem for me but it might be for those of you using JSON to transfer data etc. This could be fixed if it becomes a problem for anyone. So, garbage or pure genius (I know the answer already as it took me three attempts to spell genius)? David

lightboxes in Seaside 3.0/VWNC 7.7
by Dr. Johannes Brauer 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

Hi, I am using a Seaside application developed with Seaside 2.8 and VWNC 7.6. Now I am trying to move to VWNC 7.7/Seaside 3.0. Nearly all seems to work fine with 7.7/3.0 except for my dialogs implemented as lightboxes. In 7.6/2.9 activating a lightbox makes the window behind the lightbox grey and the lightbox itself appears with yellow background. In 7.7/3.0 activating a lightbox makes the window behind the lightbox grey (okay) but the window is zoomed in (why?). The lightbox has transparent background (why?) making the content unreadable in front of the zoomed main window. What can I do so that my appl. behaves in the same way in VWNC 7.7/ Seaside 3.0 as before?

News from seaBreeze
by Georg Heeg 31 Dec '10

31 Dec '10

Dear seaBreeze Friends, You might have thought by yourselves: No news from seaBreeze in a long time, is it dead? It is not. Internally we are using a version based upon VisualWorks 7.7.1 and Seaside 3.0 product release. Currently we are developing a new interesting feature for seaBreeze: Internationalization and Localization. Today we had the great break-through: The first multi-lingual seaBreeze application was up and running on my machine today. We are working together with a master course in software localization at Anhalt University. So please be patient to see progress in the not too far future. If you are interested in a prerelease version, please do not hesitate to contact me. Georg Heeg Georg Heeg eK, Dortmund und Köthen, HR Dortmund A 12812 Tel. +49-3496-214328, Fax +49-3496-214712

by Sebastian Sastre 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

Hey guys, I have pending to write explaining a little more about the opportunities in the industry here in Brazil but time is a dictator. Long story short: here there is more money available than qualified enterpreneurs. Sounds like an opportunity? It is. And it's big. We are going to Startup Weekend São Paulo (november 19) to have fun showing seaside prototyping superpowers (I've wrote more about it here). Beware, if you are going to attend we might found the seaside's justice league :D Lets solve stuff o/ sebastian

abstract component with authentication check?
by Ivo Roefs 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Hi, I have an abstract class WAMyComponentWithAuthentication with dozens of subclasses. A number of those subclasses are registered as an application at a certain entry point. Now I'd like to implement WAMyComponentWithAuthenticationin such a way that it checks if the session is stil authenticated. If not, I want to call: aWAMyComponentLogon. I used to do this via #initialRequest: ... self sessionAuthenticated ifFalse: [self session mainClass new call: myLoginComponent]. ... But now after upgrading to 3.0 this no longer works. It was a hack anyway. This seems so basic but I can't figure out how to do this. Ivo Roefs

how to determine server is inactive
by Yanni Chiu 31 Oct '10

31 Oct '10

I would like to have a Seaside image automatically save&quit, if it is inactive. Now, how should the inactive state be determined? IIRC, in Seaside-2.8 you could scan the WASession instances and look at a timestamp that each instance held. The WACache stuff in Seaside-3.0 looks very different. Should I scour the WACache usage, to figure out whether the server is inactive (i.e. not handled any requests recently, or alternatively, all sessions have expired)? Or, is there some other simple way to know that the server is inactive.
