Using jMaki widgets in JSR168 portlets

Importante note :

To get jMaki widgets up & running into a JSR168 portlet deployed on Open Source Portal Container, you have to get the jMaki plugin release-169 or later for Netbeans 5.5

Since I've started to work on Portal, developing the Portlet GUI part has always been a hot topic and sometime a nightmare for me.

By the way, talking with Ludo and Greg I discovered recently jMaki library.

From https://ajax.dev.java.net/ web site...

jMaki is an Ajax framework that provides a lightweight model for creating JavaScript centric Ajax-enabled web applications using Java. The jMaki project gives you a way to quickly and easily add AJAX-enabled widgets to your web applications. It does this by providing a simple mechanism to wrap a widget as a JSP tag handler or a JavaServer Faces component. Therefore, you can add a widget to your web application in the same way that you add any other JSP tag or JavaServer Faces component.

That's excellent.

After a couple of clicks, you can add some interesting widgets in your JSR168 Portlet deployed within Glassfish/OpenSource portlet container.

One of the most interesting is the table. With this widget, you don't have to code a lot of Java statements to sort the columns....

Here is my current sample....
