GWT-Ext or Ext JS with Seam apps?

[asookazian]

anybody using Ext JS? I looked at the video and examples on www.extjs.com and was very impressed by some of the features.

Seam 2.0 provides GWT integration and GWT-Ext is a wrapper for Ext JS. The re-sizeable columns in the grid and visual cues for edited cells are very cool among many other cool UI features.

Some may say that IceFaces/Richfaces is good enough but I like Ext...

I am using Ext with PHP (http://www.perfitrak.com and absolutely love it, though have not had a chance to try using it with Seam/GWT yet. From research I have been doing, I would actually recommend using MyGWT instead of GWT-Ext for a GWT/Ext bridge (people seem to think it is better designed). There are also JSF/Ext bridges out there too you might want to investigate.

The JSF/Ext project is called Lilya http://sharesource.org/project/lilya/. I have...not (must avoid quotes...) used it so can...not comment.

When they get quotes working again people reading this thread will think that I...am a nutter. Sigh.

Cheers,

I am using Ext JS with Seam.

I found that the richfaces tree tags were too slow and I am now using the more perfomant Ext JS tree. I have changed the loader so that is uses Seam Remoting and it works like a charm. All the JS is then wrapped in a custom component...

I am using Ext.js as well (I was unsatified with icefaces and richfaces tree implementations).. Love it for the most part.

Any chance of sample code for ExtJs and Seam integration?

[damianharvey]

I spent some time on the weekend looking at Ext integration with Seam using JSON. I'd love to see your Seam Remoting approach. Are you able to post any code?

Thanks,

Damian.
