Wicket: Can I use a modal Panel with a AjaxFallbackButton? - java

I have 2 inputs. When I press a button(AjaxFallbackButton), those inputs are saved into database.
If one of the input is greater than 10, when I press the button, I want to show a modal panel, for asking the user if is the sure about his option. But the modal component is not appearing. Any thoughts?
#Override
public void onSubmit(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
if (input < 10) { //save to database
} else {
AskingDialogPanel panel = new AskingDialogPanel("content",
new ResourceModel("asking.title"),
new ResourceModel("asking.message")) {
#Override
public void onOkClick(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
super.onOkClick(target);
//save to database
modalWindow.close(target);
}
#Override
public void onCancelClick(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
super.onCancelClick(target);
modalWindow.close(target);
}
};
panel.setOutputMarkupId(true);
target.addComponent(panel);
modalWindow.setContent(panel);
modalWindow.show(target);
}

Have a look at the documentation for the AjaxRequestTarget.
A component whose markup needs to be
updated should be added to this target
via
AjaxRequestTarget#addComponent(Component)
method. Its body will be rendered and
added to the envelope when the target
is processed, and refreshed on the
client side when the ajax response is
received.
I'm not sure if I remember this correctly (I've had trouble implementing the correct refresh behavior previously), but I believe you could only addComponent components that were previously added to the page, but not rendered / invisible. These will than be updated and/or their visibility re-evaluated.
I could be wrong however.. Does the above work if you substitute a normal Label for the AskingDialogPanel? (Just to verify I'm talking out the wrong end ;))

Update Wicket Text Field on onUpdate event

I have a component that extends TextField where a user can type an web address. I want that after the user type something (for example www.example.org) to change that value to something else (for exemple http://www.example.org)
I have tried this:
urlField = new TextFieldIndicatingError<String>("url", new PropertyModel<String>(this, "url"));
urlField.add(new AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior("onblur") {
#Override
protected void onUpdate(AjaxRequestTarget target)
{
//url = "ABCDDEE";
urlField.getModel().setObject("AAAA");
}
});
but anything inside the onUpdate() doesn't seems to have an effect in the TextField's value.
What I'm doing wrong here?
You need to use target.add(urlField) to update it on the client side after setting its new model.

how to clear the fields in a jface Wizard on pressing the back button

I have created a JFace wizard PCWizard extending Wizard and have four pages
PCPageOne ,PCPageTwo, PCPageThree and PCPageFour extending WizardPage.
When I reach the last page I want the back and cancel button disabled.
when I press the back button on other pages I want the data in the widgets of the page to get cleared and when I press next again I want the text fields to be empty so that the next button doesn't get activated .
I have also captured the data collected in another class, if u want me to override the WizardDialog class and do the action how do I do it . I'm new to java and SWT a more elaborate explanation would be fine.Thanx in advance
Override the WizardPage setVisible method to clear fields when the page becomes active:
#Override
public void setVisible(final boolean visible)
{
super.setVisible(visible);
if (visible) {
// TODO clear your fields
}
}
To disable the back button do the following in the last page:
#Override
public IWizardPage getPreviousPage() {
// prevent going back
return null;
}
Also clearing the input in pages might be done in a IPageChangedListener:
WizardDialog dialog = new WizardDialog(Display.getCurrent().getActiveShell(), wizard);
dialog.addPageChangedListener(new IPageChangedListener() {
public void pageChanged(PageChangedEvent event) {
// this is just a suggestion..
IClearablePage page = (IClearablePage)event.getSelectedPage();
page.clear();
}
});
Where IClearablePage is your own interface with a clear(), and all your pages implement IClearablePage.
EDIT: override setVisible as greg stated in his answer is probably more convenient.

setDefaultButton not working as expected

public JoinChatClient(String serverAddress, String chatName)
{
chatWindow.getContentPane().add(sendButton, "South");
chatWindow.getContentPane().add(splitPane, "Center");
chatWindow.setSize(800,500);
sendButton.addActionListener(this);
chatWindow.setTitle("Chat Room");
chatWindow.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
splitPane.setDividerLocation(350);
sendButton.setBackground(Color.gray);
sendButton.setForeground(Color.red);
outChatTextArea.setEditable(false);
inChatTextArea.setFont (new Font("default",Font.ITALIC,20));
outChatTextArea.setFont(new Font("default",Font.BOLD,20));
inChatTextArea.setLineWrap(true);
outChatTextArea.setLineWrap(true);
inChatTextArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
outChatTextArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
inChatTextArea.setText("Enter text to be sent here.");
outChatTextArea.setText("You can move the separator bar!");
inChatTextArea.addFocusListener(new FocusListener() {
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
if(inChatTextArea.getText().equals("Enter text to be sent here."))
{
inChatTextArea.setText("");
inChatTextArea.setFont(new Font("default",Font.BOLD,20));
}
}
public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
if(inChatTextArea.getText().isEmpty())
{
inChatTextArea.setFont (new Font("default",Font.ITALIC,20));
inChatTextArea.setText("Enter text to be sent here.");
}
}
});
chatWindow.getRootPane().setDefaultButton(sendButton);
chatWindow.setVisible(true);
}
I've looked over all the threads I could find concerning this, and I cannot figure out why hitting ENTER doesn't activate the actionPerformed method attached to sendButton. Is it because the text field has a FocusListener?
Things I've tried:
changing the statement to target the specific text field (inChatTextArea)
moved the setVisible statement to the end
targeted different parts of the GUI when hitting enter
Bear in mind I've only included the code that builds the GUI in an attempt to waste less of your time.
What I want: Ideally, I want to keep my FocusListener (or something like it) so that I can display the "text field hint." I would like to be able to hit ENTER to send the user's text while the inChatTextArea field is focused.
If a component on the JFrame has focus, and can accept an enter key press, such as one of the JTextAreas, then the enter presses will go to that component and not to the default button. For the default button to work, then the JFrame or the button or some other component that does not accept enter key presses, needs to have focus. I'm guessing that one of your JTextAreas has stolen the focus, and that this is messing you up.
This question is old, but I found it when having the same issue. So I hope others might find it useful.
I figured out that getRootPane() will return null if the component is trying to access the root pane too early, e.g. under construction of the component.
Hence, I propose to use SwingUtilities.invoke(Runnable) to postpone setting the default button on the root pane, and also to request the focus to the button.
So this method could be a helper method on a class to extend from:
protected void setDefaultButton(JButton button) {
// Uses invoke later, as getRootPane() might return null if the method is called under construction
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
JRootPane rootPane = getRootPane();
if (rootPane != null) {
rootPane.setDefaultButton(button);
}
button.requestFocus(); // set the focus on the button
}
});
}

Vaadin grid - save/cancel when setEnableEditor= true

I'm new to vaadin and I'm a bit confused with the save and cancel button when setEditorEnabled = true.
Do you need to provide additional codes in order to save the data or it automatically saves all the data to the database when you click on save?
If there are aditional codes, how do I add a listener to the save and cancel buttons?
Thanks!
If you use buffered mode, the edited values are written to the source object when you press the Save button. If you use unbuffered mode, the edition is written instantly, so the Save and Cancel button becomes meaningless.
If you want to write the edited object back to a database, you will need to add that functionality manually. It is practical to use buffered mode in this case and add the database calling method to a method that is called when the save button is pressed.
Besides adding it to a CommitHandler's postCommit method, like Daniel Dubec writes, you can also override the saveEditor() and doCancelEditor() methods of the Grid.
class MyGrid extends Grid {
public MyGrid() {
setEditorEnabled(true);
setEditorBuffered(true);
}
#Override
public void saveEditor() throws CommitException {
super.saveEditor();
// You can persist your data here.
Notification.show("Item " + getEditedItemId() + " was edited.");
}
// Be aware that doCancelEditor() is called whenever super.saveEditor() is called!
#Override
protected void doCancelEditor() {
super.doCancelEditor();
// editedItemId was already set to 'null'.
Notification.show("Cancel button was pressed");
}
}
What super.saveEditor() does is actually calling the commit() method on the editorFieldGroup. But this is only meaningful, if the editable grid is in buffered mode. Read more on Field Buffering here.
So what happens is, when you press the save button, and super.saveEditor() is called, then first the pre-commit event is fired, then the the changes in the editor field values are updated to the data source (that is the commit itself), then the post-commit event is fired. The doCancelEditor() method is called whenever the editor itself is closed, this is why it is called after a save too.
Or use saveListener. I am not sure if this is the best way, but it works for me.
Grid<Bean> grid;
grid.getEditor().addSaveListener(new EditorSaveListener<Bean>() {
#Override
public void onEditorSave(EditorSaveEvent<Bean> event) {
// You can persist your data here
persistBean(event.getBean());
}
});
try to add CommitHandler for FieldGroup
grid.setEditorEnabled(true);
// register save listener
grid.getEditorFieldGroup().addCommitHandler(new CommitHandler() {
#Override
public void preCommit(CommitEvent commitEvent) throws CommitException {
}
#Override
public void postCommit(CommitEvent commitEvent) throws CommitException {
// You can persist your data here
Notification.show("Item " + grid.getEditedItemId() + " was edited.");
}
});

Prevent browser form submission when Wicket AjaxFormValidatingBehaviour validation fails

I have a Page with a Wizard component. The user can navigate the panels of the wizard by using the next and previous buttons which I have performing full (non-ajax) form submissions so that the app is back-button friendly.
When the next button is clicked, I would like to attempt ajax form validation (if javascript is enabled). I tried doing:
nextButton.add( new AjaxFormValidatingBehavior( form, "onsubmit") );
to add such validation. The behaviour works - however, when validation errors occur the browser still submits the entire form.
What is the Wicket way to prevent the browser from submitting the form in this case?
Override the onError() method on either the form or the AjaxFormValidatingBehavior. If you do it on the behavior, I am not sure if that will prevent the form from submitting or not.
new AjaxFormValidatingBehavior( form, "onsubmit") {
public void onSubmit() {}
public void onError() {}
}
Maybe a bit to late but here is the answer:
public class SomePage extends WebPage {
private FeedbackPanel feedbackMessageError = new FeedbackPanel("feedbackTabAddEmpMesError", new ExactLevelFeedbackMessageFilter(FeedbackMessage.ERROR));
public SomePage(String id) {
final Form<Void> form = new Form<>("tabFormAddEmp");
add(form);
//Name textfield cannot be empty
final FormComponent<String> tabAddEmpName = new RequiredTextField<>("tabAddEmpName", Model.of(""));
tabAddEmpName.setLabel(Model.of("Name"));
tabAddEmpName.setOutputMarkupId(true);
//Salarynumber has to be minimal 10 char long
final FormComponent<String> tabAddEmpLoon = new RequiredTextField<>("tabAddEmpLoon", Model.of(""));
tabAddEmpLoon.add(new StringValidator(10, null)).setLabel(Model.of("Salarynumber"));
tabAddEmpLoon.setOutputMarkupId(true);
final Button button = new Button("tabFormAddEmpBut");
form.add(tabAddEmpName , tabAddEmpLoon, button);
button.add(new AjaxFormValidatingBehavior(form, "onclick") {
#Override
public void onError(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
//Add feedbackpanel to your html and voila!
target.add(feedbackMessageError);
}
#Override
protected void onSubmit(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
//Do some logic over here
}
}
}
}
