Hi,
is there a possibility to automatically resize the column width in a fixgrid according to the maximum width of one of the cells in it?

There are two times this should happen:
- The first time the grid is displayed
- On double click within the column resizer area (as known from MS Excel)

Hi,
I'm trying to combine two boolean properties in a fixgrid to get a combination like that:

<t:row rendered='.{myProp1 and myProp2}'>

I can't get this working. Any suggestions?

Daniel

Hello,
we have an issue: It is possible to enter an illegal date into the date field:
2010-02-30
This however will result in an automatic conversion to a legal date:
2010-03-02
Our customer does not want the application to automatically correct the input. Therefore we need to avoid this behaviour. There are two possible solutions:
1. New attribute for the date field: allowDirectInput='false' -> Input only via date chooser.
2. Error popup in case of illegal date input. From our customer's perspective this would even be a better solution.

Hi Björn,

we have made some investigation in this technology and found out that the Java Web Start executable seems to already implement the authentication mechanism described above. Means: The Web Start executable opens a popup for authentication in our test, where we are using HTTP Basic Authentication. It is reasonable to assume, that NTLM and SpNego will also be supported by Java WS out of the box. We have to test that.
As conclusion it might only be resonable to implement an authenticator for the case that the Captain Casa Client is started as standalone application instead of WS. I would suggest, that we test the NTLM/SpNego authentication here before you implement the authentication as described above because we will in every case start the client as Web Start application.

Hi Björn,

as discussed via phone call: We want to do client side authentication via Http SPNEGO with NTLM and later Kerberos. These technologies can transparently be used by a Java client as long Java's URLConnection is used as described on this page:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/net/http-auth.html

This is a full list of supported client-side authentication mechanisms:

HTTP Basic authentication (RFC2617)
HTTP Digest authentication (RFC2617)
NTLM (defined by Microsoft)
Http SPNEGO Negotiate (defined by Microsoft), with the following underlying mechanisms:
Kerberos
NTLM

It seems to be very useful, that the Captain Casa Client implements an Authenticator as shown on the above mentioned page to realize client-side authentication. This Authenticator could e.g. open a Popup on client side to enter the credentials. What do you think?

Regards,

Daniel

Thank you, that works as required!

Hi Captain,
if the textarea is enabled=false, one cannot copy and paste.
As described we need this for a log file view. We need to allow the following use case:
1. Select areas of the text.
2. Copy the selected text into clipboard.
3. The user must not be allowed to change the text by typing.

In JTextArea this can be done by:
1. editable(false)
2. enabled(true)
3. focusable(true)
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JTextArea.html)

So to see, CC is missing the editable Attribute, that could be offered for all text components.

Hi,
we want to use the icon as a status indicator, not as a button. So how can we achieve the following scenario:

1. The icon is shown (not grey)
2. The icon has no rollover or click effect (because nobody shall click on it)

In our opinion this is not possible at the moment.

Daniel & Karsten

Hi,
we have got the Version 20091116 and the problem with textarea still exists. We need a selectable but not editable textarea (for a log file view). In the development tools there is no 'editable' attribute. Do we have to enter this attribute in the JSP directly?

Regards,
Daniel & Karsten

Hi,
we are also searching a solution for this problem. It does not seem to be resolved.
Our icon is:
1. enabled=true (otherwise would be rendered grey)
2. focusable=false (nevertheless has a rollover effect)

Is there another setting we forgot?

Daniel

Hi,
we would like to be able to render objects of our own types. This could in our opinion be done by something that is known from JSF - a Converter API as described here:
http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/1.0/docs/api/javax/faces/convert/Converter.html

In JSF a Converter can be registered via faces-config.xml. After the registration the application is able to serialize and deserialize objects of the registered type.
Use Case: We need e.g. the possiblity to render sql.Timestamp.

Hi,
we would like to have the Captain Casa project files being included in the Eclipse project folder.
Opening a project in the CC-Editor should then be possible by pointing to the Eclipse project folder.
The CC-project file should not contain absolute paths. We want to be able to share CC project files between many users (e.g. by using a version control system). So server paths could be determined in one of two ways:
- Global server definition in the CC-Editor that will be referenced in the project file via server-id/name
- Using the server definitions of the Eclipse WTP-Project, that can be found in the servers project of an Eclipse installation with this Plugin.

With kind regards,
Daniel & Karsten

Hi,
it would be very helpfull to let Captain Casa handle exceptions during get- and set-phase of the JSF-Lifecycle in a different way as it's done currently.
We need the possibility to react on exceptions during get and set.

The most usable method would be to delegate exceptions in those phases to the onApplicationError method as it's done with exceptions in the action/process phase.

Hi,
as discussed during the community meeting we need a Scrollbar implementation that can be accessed like JScrollbar:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/JScrollBar.html

We need to access:
- value
- maximum value
- minimum value

-> We also need to set those values actively.

Use Case: We want to scroll through a very large log file and need to reload fragments of it depending on the scrollbar position of a textarea.

With kind regards,
Daniel & Karsten

Hi,
we would like to use our own format string in formatted fields for formatting date and time.
The format string should be expressable by characters described here:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

With kind regards,
Daniel & Karsten
