Hi guys;

Thanks for the great work you have done in creating the jspresso framework.

I am just wondering, how rich is the widget set? any support for RichText editors, Charts, Google maps, Video and pdf viewers?

Kind regards.

Josh

Hi Josh,

First of all, welcome to Jspresso and thank you for the motivating good words !

The short answer :

  • RichText editor : not yet.
  • Charts & PDF : yes, using Jasper reports (PDF) and Fusioncharts free (flex charting). Take a look at this thread if you want to see a sample integration.
  • Google maps, Video : not yet.

 

The longer one :

The Jspresso architecture allows for a clean integration of custom components. This is advanced topic, largely undocumented Wink, but you can definitely perform almost any integration as far as you understand the Jspresso internals (UI descriptors, view factories, ...). For the framework itself, we tend to support only widgets that have their equivalent in all the UI technologies supported. But whenever you decide to deploy your app in a single UI, then the door is open...

If you carefully read the thread linked above you will see that the flash charting integration was incorporated in 2 days (actually less than that) for all the UI channels.

HTH,

Vincent
