Hi all,
this is the first release for testing purposes of GWT Mosaic 2g:
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-mosaic/wiki/GWTMosaic2g
GWT Mosaic 2g will use a scene graph (not exactly a port of GRIN like
in http://code.google.com/p/gwt-grin/ but more like JavaFx).
With this version you can experiment with the scene graph, and the new
binding framework:
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-mosaic/wiki/BindingBasics
Also new is the Data Binding library which provides classes to access
a database similar to JBuilder's DBExpress or Delphi:
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-mosaic/wiki/DataBinding
A few very basic data-aware widgets are also ready for testing, like:
DBLabel, DBTextBox, DBListBox and DBLookupListBox.
See: http://code.google.com/p/gwt-mosaic/wiki/DataBinding2
Demo: http://mosaic.arkasoft.com/data-binding/
Kind Regards,
George.

Hi,
just a preview of a simple fixed sized layout build with GWT Mosaic 2g
http://mosaic.arkasoft.com/preview/
the code:
http://pastebin.org/1129997
so far no coding pattern and no advanced controls, it uses only Box and Text.
Kind Regards,
George.

Your plan is to retire the old gwt Mosaic?
Curious as to why you decided to replace gwt Beans Binding.

Hi,
After gwt 2.1 comes out except of the layout system I think there is no reason to use GWT Mosaic. They have MVP, an application module, data binding integrated to UiBinder and tables. There is not very much room left for extensions like mosaic. Missing are still the Actions and property binding (I mean beans binding).
The new mosaic library is totally different, it can be still usefull for GWT developers, since you can add effects into your applications very easy and it will provide a new layout system design similar to JavaFx, so that effects do not disturb the layout manager.
About the old mosaic library I think its better to wait until GWT 2.1 comes out and see which features are still useful to maintain.
About beans binding, the problem is that there is no EL (expression language) support. The purpose I ported beans binding was to make building GWT applications similar to NetBeans, and because there exists a lot of tutorials. But as you already know beans binding development stopped. And maybe NetBeans will switch to JavaFx binding (but, I am not sure about that).
JavaFx is using binding almost for everything, especially for layouts. The new bindings library is very small and allows you to use custom Getter and Setter methods (work around for EL) that makes things very easy, see this example:
Screenshot: http://imagebin.org/116525
Code: http://pastebin.com/Md8Ra8Ta
To test this binding library I started also the data binding library in mosaic 2g that will provide a classes for building DB applications similar to Delphi DB controls or JBuilder.
About the demo application, this is my current project for a client, its related with blu-ray players. I uploaded a small video in youtube to see how it works.
http://www.youtube.com/user/ggeorg?feature=mhum&hl=el
Part of it I will publish as a demo for GWT Mosaic 2g.
Kind Regards,
George.

Does that mean you retain the LayoutMangers in 2g?

Hi Heiko,
2g will have its own layout manargers that are part of the scene graph. But you can use still use a LayoutPanel from 0.4 (lets say mosaic 1) or any other Widget from GWT or GXT (I didn't test SmartGWT but why not).
Mosaic 2g is using a new package: org.gwt.mosaic2g so there will be no problem to use both mosaic 1 & 2 in the same project.
About mosaic 1 I am still thinking of a light version with only the layout system. And using both is just a matter of an adapter class, like:
loginFormC = new Control(show, 450, 250) {
@Override
protected Widget createWidget() {
final LoginForm result = new LoginForm();
updateWidget(result, true);
return result;
}
};
loginFormC.setStyleName("loginFormC");
Here is another example of a Panel used in screne graph:
http://mosaic.arkasoft.com/Demo03/
with tarnsition and fade effects.
For my current project use mary/blue to login (any control token will work), but I will change that very soon.
Demo: http://mosaic.arkasoft.com/Demo03/
To get out from the playback screen (since that screen waits for video end events) just click the reload button in the browser.
But, all this is still in testing phase, so please send comment (this is why I started writing wiki pages). A demo application will follow soon.
Kind Regards,
George.

Hi George:
Learning from past experience, I suggest that:
1) keep the core value-add to GWT-2.1 as clean as possible; in
gwt-mosaic it means GRIN and GWT bare metal.
2) leverage as much as possible core heavy lifting from Google; in your
below prototype, it means user token on top of Google UserService with
OpenID+OAuth and possible Google Friend Connect (GFC) on top of the
Contacts Application plus web user profile integrated with Personal
Basis Profile from scene-graph technology.
3) assure evolutiuonary path of selected value-added technologies; in
gwt-mosaic it means evolutionary path from gwt event bus with Tibbco
PageBus, etc in your Contacts sample.
Best wishes and look forward to your significant value-adds.

Wow, I have interest in having TV programs broadcasted to GWT page via

Hi,
just an example of the HBox layout manager:
demo screenshot: http://imagebin.org/117285
code: http://pastebin.com/PVAjbkai
It is more advanced than the old BoxLayout and it is similar to the <hbox> mozilla XUL layout manager.
A demo of the XUL <hbox> layout manager can be found in gwt-mosaic-xul showcase (see the Box Layout demo):
http://mosaic.arkasoft.com/gwt-mosaic-xul/
All features of <hbox> except 'direction' are implemented. Instead of the 'align' and 'pack' attributes the GWT interfaces HasAutoHorizontalAlignemnt and HasVerticalAlignment are used (RTL is supported).
The code for the layout manager is:
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-mosaic/source/browse/trunk/src/org/gwt/mosaic2g/client/scene/layout/HBox.java
The VBox will be similar, and the Grid layout will be based on those two layout managers, similar to mozilla's XUL <grid> element:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL_Tutorial/Grids
The Grid layout will be the simplified FormLayout for mosaic 2g.
Let me know what you think about it.
Thanks,
George.
