Eelco Hillenius says recently in the wicket dev mailing list wicket 1.3 could be released in January 2007. What a good news for Wicket-Contrib-Dojo (WCD) that could be released at same time as wicket.
Wicket release was delayed because it was moved onto Apache Software Fundation and some administrative update was required.

Waiting for this release, WCD is ready to be used on production and it is used in production application. As I mention in a previous post, I work for Joost, and we use wicket and WCD in some Joost application. This application is impressive, It looks like a desktop application as my co-worker (on Joost and WCD) mentions on his blog.

So you can use the current WCD from svn : https://wicket-stuff.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wicket-stuff/wicket-1.3/wicket-contrib-dojo. Try It and enjoy.

The Venice Project become now public… as Joost

Take a look at Sylvain Blog for more news…

When you add an html fragment containing a Dojo Widget to a WebPage, Dojo does not interpret this html fragment. So this new widget is not added to the Dojo manager and it does not work. This kind of dom opration often happens in Ajax application using Dojo so you can force dojo to add this widget to the manager in order to make it work with this 2 lines :

   djConfig.searchIds = ['widgetIdToInterpret'];   dojo.hostenv.makeWidgets(); 

searchIds is a table containing widget to interpret by Dojo manager and the dojo.hostenv.makeWidgets runs the dojo interpretor to make the new widget

I’ve just opened a new category called Dojo to share some Dojo tips or feelings.
Hope it could be usefull for readers

Wicket compile itself with maven but the trunk version is full of test in error. So you can build it skipping tests with this kind of command.

 mvn -U -cpu -Dmaven.test.skip=true install 

Hope tests will soon fixed
