Applet and JSF Integration - example - applet

Can we implement javascript into applet/swing?If yes how? please give some basic/small example.

You can't "implement" it as in manipulating its components, you can however use JavaScript to dynamically change the <param> tags of the <applet> element, and define the applet to respond to that.

AEM/Sling: How do I implement dynamic sling selector?

TLDR: I want setup an AEM page that accepts firstname and lastname as parameter using an SEO friendly URL.
Going to www.host.com/mycontent.richard.williams.html will display information relevant to Richard Williams.
If I go to www.host.com/mycontent.john.smith.html, the page will display information relevant to John Smith.
SEO friendly example: www.host.com/mycontent.richard.williams.html
not SEO friendly example: www.host.com/mycontent.html?firstname=richard&lastname=williams
So I've been following this guide (not sure if this is the best example/guide to help me): http://www.aemcq5tutorials.com/tutorials/sling-servlet-in-aem/
And while it works well for my the example
#SlingServlet(resourceTypes="geometrixx/components/hompepage", selectors={"firstname","lastname"}, extensions="html",methods="GET", metatype=true)
I am trying to make it dynamic.
At the moment, I can only access the servlet if access via: http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx/en.firstname.lastname.html
I want to make firstname and lastname dynamic parameters/selectors. Like if for example I want to pass the values "richard.williams", I can then use: http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx/en.richard.williams.html
if I try to use http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx/en.richard.williams.html right now, I get a blank page.
So basically I want to use selectors for passing parameter values to my page.
Any ideas how this can be done?
ps. At the moment, I only testing/experimenting in my local instance of AEM.
Selectors in sling don't provide the functionality of placing variables in the URL path. i.e. you cannot add {pathParam} like in Spring to sling servlet URL.
In general, selectors are not recommended to be used like an input to a function. They are to be used more like file extensions.
For eg. A request to /mycontent.html returns the same resource as /mycontent.mobile.html. The only difference being, the latter requests for a mobile friendly version.
Request params on the other hand serve the purpose of providing inputs to the servlet.
I cannot think of any direct way to attach a servlet to dynamic paths in sling. You can try using suffix, they are cacheable in the dispatcher, but I can't comment on the SEO friendliness of using suffix.
Consider this URI - /mycontent/user.json/john/smith
Register a servlet using the path /mycontent/user and you can use
String[] names = request.getRequestPathInfo().getSuffix().split(suffix, '/')
to retrieve the suffix contents.
Take a look at answers in this question. Sling ResourceProvider and integrating with jax-rs are other ways you can accomplish this.
Technically this would be feasible with the use of OptingServlet (see https://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/servlets.html#optingservlet-interface)
Your accepts method could easily recognise the expected resourceType and react appropriately.
As mentioned in the docs this approach is discouraged and the solution proposed by Subhash to use suffixes seems way more elegant.
You can create a components which reads selector from the request and add that compoent to en.html

How to access design dialog parameters in sightly html (AEM 6.1)

I have defined few parameters in the design dialog of a component. Can somebody please let me know how can i get those parameters in sightly html? In JSP we used to do like below, but how can we do the same thing in the sightly?
int startLevel = currentStyle.get("link", 3);
The same thing (well, nearly the same) would work in sightly. You can see the objects which are available in every sightly file here: https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/develop/sightly/global-objects.html
One of them is the same currentStyle object available to JSPs.
${currentStyle.link}

Google Web Toolkit - UiBinder

I am new in GWT. I want to ask some questions about UI binder:
<ui:with field='res' type='com.my.app.widgets.logoname.Resources'/>
(1) Refer to code above. What is the meaning of type? Is meant the file location?
(2) Why need to use external resource for the UI binder?
(3) When I write css, in java file should I need to write the "extends CssResource" word?
I really don't understand. Please help me to answer the question. Thanks.
<ui:with field='res' type='com.my.app.widgets.logoname.Resources'/>
Refer to code above. What is the meaning of type? Is meant the file location?
Here type is equivalent to below java code
Resources res = new com.my.app.widgets.logoname.Resources();
Why need to use external resource for the UI binder?
Sometimes your template will need to work with styles or other objects that come from outside of your template.
When I write css, in java file should I need to write the "extends CssResource" word?
Yes you have to use extends CssResource
For detailed explaination and samples please have a look at GWT UIBinder - Using an external resource.
Find a sample code here about GWT - Using UiBinder.
Here is the key points of using UIBinder:
The UiBinder is a framework designed to separate Functionality and View of User Interface.
The UiBinder framework allows developers to build gwt applications as HTML pages with GWT widgets configured throughout them.
The UiBinder framework makes easier collaboration with UI designers who are more comfortable with XML, HTML and CSS than Java source code
The UIBinder provides a declarative way of defining User Interface.
The UIBinder seperates the programmic logic from UI.
The UIBinder is similar to what JSP is to Servlets.

I am confused about JSNI.How and when use of JSNI in Google web toolkit

I am new Google web toolkit.I am confused about JSNI.Why and when use of JSNI in Google web toolkit.Advantage and limitation of JSNI.Thanks in advance.
I use native Javascript code when there is no other way of coding the feature other than in Javascript. For example, there is no wrapper for XmlHttpRequest object in GWT. I could use either third-party solution if it exists, or write my own classes based on javascript-based sample code found around on the web. So, I have this native method that I can call from my pure Java code and that contains only Javascript code. JSNI allows me to share the data between these two worlds.
And after all, after permutations are compiled, both Java and JS native methods are build into Javascript.
If you want to use various Javascript libraries, then JSNI will let you to call methods as designed wrapped into your Java methods. Again, for example, you can include Modernizr.js script into your html page and then have something like this in your class:
private native boolean isCSSAnimationSupported() /*-{
return Modernizr.cssanimations;
}-*/;
I do not use native methods when there is no actual need to inject inline Javascript.
Beside the points alexp already mentioned, there is another situation, where JSNI is a very useful.
Imaging, you have several GWT applications and in case you left one and start another, you want to send some informations to the starting GWT application.
You have several possibilities to do that:
you can use URL parameters
you can use a cookie
or use an JSP and JSNI.
There fore, you use a JSP instead of a HTML as your host page. Inside this JSP you can use a JSP tag of a hidden field to carry your parameter and with JSNI you can read the parameter out of your host page.

Tracing DOM element id back to its ExtJs component

We are develpoing a web-based automation solution for a web application that is built using ExtJs.
Currently i am testing various different object identification techniques that identify web elements in the best way.
We'd like to use the IE developer tools (F12) to highlight and select DOM objects on the page, and (somehow) get their corresponding ExtJs component (along with its corresponding properties, such as itemId).
Is this possible to do through code or through some other technique?
I am unfamiliar with IE Dev tools for such things, however I can attempt to answer targeting specific components and their elements.
You can target Ext components via several ways:
Ext.ComponentQuery.query(CQselector) method (see docs for examples)
Ext.getCmp(componentID) if you know component ID
up() and down() methods from any container/component. these also take CQselector expressions
Any of these methods are accessible from the page since Ext library is loaded. In browsers like FF and Chrome you can execute these methods directly from the console. I am guessing similarly they should be available in IE Dev tools.
Once you have reference to the Ext component you can get HTML elements through .dom or .el or similar properties. Or you could use Dom query directly.
I believe that if you set the id property rather than the itemId, you can achieve the desired result as this is passed through as the html id property of the top level container for the component (I think!). It's a little complicated to get that to work with accuracy though given the amount of nested divs/tables that are used in most of the extjs components. Good luck!
Hard to tell what you're looking for, but if you're trying to get a reference to an Ext.Component that is rendered, you can look for the wrapper node for your component in the HTML structure. The HTML id is the same as the component id. If you run var comp = Ext.getCmp('some-id-12345') and if that returns something, you've found the wrapper for an Ext.Component.
You could then use
comp.itemId
To retrieve the itemId
You should look into http://www.illuminations-for-developers.com/ A plugin for firebug that shows Ext.Components.
You can also use the Sencha Page Analyzer to see the entire component tree
