I would have suggested jQuery, but if dojo is built-in, that could work too. I really enjoy working with GWT, but it doesn't have a huge library of off the shelf widgets (athough SmartGwt and ExtGwt are both nice). We write most of our controls from scratch, but that's overkill for most applications.

Struts 2 already has an AJAX framework baked right in, dojo I think, or at
least it was last I used it. You'll want to look into the struts
datetimepicker tag. [link]

Thank you both for your input. I certainly hope I don't have to add a
frame work for just a calendar. The management wants other stuff like
modal dialog box for confirmation and other ui fluf. I have been
looking at Dojo today as it sounds like it works with struts (at least
struts 2) a bit better.

I haven't used JQuery with Struts, but I can easily recommend it
paired with just about anything (except maybe other JavaScript
libraries). There is a huge variety of plugins and you'll have no
problem finding a nice date picker/calendar widget.

JQuery does a good job of providing a foundation for whatever

IMHO, it would be an overkill to use GWT/JQuery just for popup
calendar, there are lots of Javascript calendar around for doing that.
but if the intention to add a AJAX toolkit to the existing project,
then it is a matter of preference and familiarity as there are plenty
of AJAX toolkit around too.

Struts + GWT or JQuery

2009-12-15T18:20:10Z

Has anyone used GWT or JQuery or something similar with in a struts
project? What works best or is the best fit. I am looking at making
the user experience a little nicer for a struts application. A couple
of things asked for are calendar to pick a date from in stead of
entering a date and something similar to modal dialog boxes for

I'll be speaking at the 1 DevDay. I'm going to attempt to do a live coding
exercise and build a Grails app with a Flex front end in less than an hour.
Hopefully it works. ;)

I would offer to car pool with some folks, but I'm leaving the conference
after lunch and won't be coming back to GR afterwards.

The GR GiveCamp is the event that is Nov 13-15 (just heard about it at
lunch).
