Railo Ajax arrived to version 0.5.2.

From this release cfmap has entered into the set of tags that RailoAjax ships. Cfmap support is still experimental and do not cover event the 50% of the ACF version but development is on the way.

See more here.

Remember that the demo app that you see online is installed ( if required ) when RailoAjax deploy on your Railo server. So you can have a look to the demo code that can help you on development stage.

Another important announcment is that CFMENU is on the way to appear from a community contribution. Cfmenu has been added to 0.6 milestone ( at least in alpha version ).

Next step will be focused on docs. For a month or so the main efforts ( over cfmap implementation ) will be on dodumenting what has been done up to know keeping an eye on bugs of course.

Do not hesistate to contact me for any question and of course .... project is open ... so feel free to jump in ....

A new version has been released.

The most interesting news is the complete refactor of the UI tags. RailoAjax library now provide bridges classes that need a speficic adapter to perform the action required. This allows to switch between one library support to another with no need to change the core code.

An example can be found here.

Once the concrete implementation is done ( the Ext cfwindow is already done ) you can choose the library using the cfajaximport tag.

<cfajaximport library="ext"/>

Having implemented a bridge pattern for any UI implementation has also allowed us to provide a set of new events provided directly by the Railo.Events engine that do not rely on the specific implementation making code even more portable. The following event has been added :

• Window.beforeCreate
• Window.afterCreate
• Window.beforeShow
• Window.afterShow
• Window.beforeHide
• Window.afterHide
• Window.beforeClose
• Window.afterClose
• Layout.afterTabSelect
• Layout.beforeTabInit
• Layout.afterTabInit
• Layout.beforeTabCreate
• Layout.afterTabCreate
• Layout.beforeTabRemove
• Layout.afterTabRemove
• Layout.beforeTabSelect
• Layout.afterTabSelect
• Layout.beforeTabDisable
• Layout.afterTabDisable
• Layout.beforeTabEnable
• Layout.afterTabEnable

What is usefull is that these events will always be usable in the same way not depending by the the tag concrete implementation. So If I need to listen to a window hide event and I have choosed the ext implementation I can use both the following syntax:

Railo.Events.subscribe(callback,'Window.beforeHide')
or
Railo.Window.getWindowObject('mywin').addListener('beforeclose',callback,this);

The RailoLayout.js package has already been rewritten with the default jquery implementation.

Version 0.5.2 will allow ui tags to receive an options arguments called 'args'. This struct will be converted into json and pushed into the implementation init method. In this way any config defined by the jquery or ext apis will become available. I am also working on a start for cfmap implementation. 

I have just finished to move RailoAjax project to the new, and final location, into the brand new space Railo is creating for supporting OS projects.

Site is now visible at http://projects.getrailo.org/projects/railoajax/

Svn has been migrated and can be found at http://svn.getrailo.org/svn/railoajax/  ( checkout as guest/guest)

Trac install  http://getrailo.org/trac/railoajax/

This version of RailoAjax starts the support of functions not strictly related to a tag or to a UI object like tabs or windows.

Firsts functions to be supported are:

Railo.Ajax.submitForm
(formId,url,callbackhandler[,errorhandler,httpMethod,asynch,returnFormat,beforeSend])

You can use this fucntions to ask a form to be ajax submitted at any time with no need to trigger the submit event.

Railo.Ajax.ajaxForm
(formId[,target,callbackhandler,errorhandler,returnFormat,beforeSend])

This function is used to configure a form to be submitted in ajax mode. The main difference with the previous one is that in this case the form will be submitted in ajax mode in any case, and not only when invoked by the function itself.

Railo.Ajax.navigate is on development stage.

The RailoAjax project has finally arrived to his own location.

RailoAjax.org is a the home site that will show news, guides to get started and will be updated with any usefull information about releases, road map, tutotials etc…

The documentation part has been moved into a dedicated Trac Install that can be found at http://docs.railoajax.org.

The Trac install will be used for:

• Docs in wiki format
• Tickets
• Milestones and road map
• Svn Browse

A new extension provider has been created and is already available:
