gCube Widgets Store

This page lists the available (reusable) GWT Widgets that developers can integrate in their GWT Projects/portlets if they need to.

Every Widget listed is provided with a screenshot and instructions on how to integrate it.

Available Widgets:

Select the Style

If you want to use the default style just skip this. If you want to use the GXT style instead you have to add the following directive to your WebApp main css stylesheet:

@import url('$MODULE_NAME/old-dialog.css');

Where $MODULE_NAME is the name of your gwt module: example:

if you open your gwt.xml file the module name is the value of the rename-to attribute

<module rename-to='myapplicationname'>

then you would add at the top of your application main css stylesheet the following:

@import url('myapplicationname/old-dialog.css');

Session Checker Widget

Description:

A lightweight widget to display a dialog informing the user that her session has expired. Very useful for GWT web applications. The widget polls the server every 45 seconds to check if the session is alive, when is not it pops up a dialog suggesting the user to reload the page. When the session expires your web app will be masked and no other user actions will be available other than reloading the page.

Please note: It can happen that your webapp needs to do something when session expires, to get to know when the session expires in your webapp listen for the {@link SessionTimeoutEvent} on the {@link HandlerManager} instance you will have to pass to this widget (in this case).

Please note again: It can happen that your webapp or you want to handle the session expiration without showing the expiration popup below, if so please use the CheckSession#setShowSessionExpiredDialog(boolean showSessionExpiredDialog) method, make sure you pass your event bus though.

Maven coordinates:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.gcube.portlets.widgets</groupId>
        <artifactId>session-checker</artifactId>
	<version>LATEST</version> (Current is <version>0.2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>)
</dependency>

Add the following to your project .gwt.xml file:'

	<inherits name='org.gcube.portlets.widgets.sessionchecker.SessionChecker' />

Usage Example: just put the following line of code in your WebApp onModuleLoad() method

//if you do not need to something when the session expire
CheckSession.getInstance().startPolling();
 
//if you need to do something when session expires
CheckSession.getInstance(eventBus).startPolling();
 
//eventBus is a com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerManager instance of your webapp

• Add the following to your project web.xml file (Replace $YOUR_SERVLET_URL_PATTERN with your actual servlet url pattern value)

	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>checkServlet</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>org.gcube.portlets.widgets.sessionchecker.server.SessionCheckerServiceImpl</servlet-class>
	</servlet>
 
	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>checkServlet</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/$YOUR_SERVLET_URL_PATTERN/checksession</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>

You are ready to use it.

FileUpload Progress Bar Dialog

Description:

Use this widget to display a dialog containing the possibility to upload a file on server with an actual progress of the current uploaded file in percentage; To get to know which file was uploaded listen for the {@link FileUploadCompleteEvent} on the {@link HandlerManager} instance you will have to pass to this widget. There is also the possibility to handle the submit by your own, for instance if you want to allow only a given file type to upload. To do so use the other constructor (the one with the boolean param) and listen for the {@linkFileUploadSelectedEvent}. See the example below.

		 */
		eventBus.addHandler(FileUploadCompleteEvent.TYPE, new FileUploadCompleteEventHandler() {
 
			@Override
			public void onUploadComplete(FileUploadCompleteEvent event) {
 
				//the filename and its path on server are returned to the client
				String fileName = event.getUploadedFileInfo().getFilename();
				String absolutePathOnServer = event.getUploadedFileInfo().getAbsolutePath();
				GWT.log(fileName + " uploaded on Server here: " + absolutePathOnServer);
 
				//just for this example the timer is just to pretend you are doing something with the uploaded file on the server, wait 3 seconds
				Timer t = new Timer() {
 
					@Override
					public void run() {
                                                  /**

		                                    */
						dlg.showRegisteringResult(true); //or false if an error occurred					
					}
				};
				t.schedule(3000);
			}
		});
	}
 
//handle form submit example
	HandlerManager eventBus = new HandlerManager(null);
 
		final UploadProgressDialog dlg = new UploadProgressDialog("Share File",  eventBus, true);
		dlg.center();
		dlg.show();
 
                //this is fired when the user selects the file, no file submit is performed  you have to do it your own, see dlg.submitForm();
		eventBus.addHandler(FileUploadSelectedEvent.TYPE, new FileUploadSelectedEventHandler() {
 
			@Override
			public void onFileSelected(FileUploadSelectedEvent event) {
				String fileName = event.getSelectedFileName();
				GWT.log("selected file name: " + fileName);
 
				//pretend you do sth with the uploaded file, wait 3 seconds
				Timer t = new Timer() {
 
					@Override
					public void run() {
						try {
							dlg.submitForm();
						} catch (Exception e) {
							e.printStackTrace();
						}
					}
				};
				t.schedule(3000);
			}
		});
 
 
		/**

Workspace Sharing Widget

Description: This widget allows your application to open a dialog allowing users to share workspace item to other users via the gCube System.

Full Version: The sharing dialog sends the selected users to server library (Home Library, see: https://gcube.wiki.gcube-system.org/gcube/index.php/Home_Library) to store sharing data.

Screenshot:

Full Version usage example:

                String ITEMID = "1232223-45678-12345-124a-12345678909"; //A workspace item ID;
 
		/**
			 * This controller instance the sharing dialog
			 * @param itemId workace item id
			 * @param shareOnlyOwner if true, only owner can share, otherwise an alert with an error message is displayed
			 * @param defaultPermission ACL_TYPE default permission, if is null default ACL_TYPE is loaded from server
			 */
			WorkspaceSharingController controller = new WorkspaceSharingController(ITEMID, true, ACL_TYPE.READ_ONLY);
 
			final Dialog sharingWindow = controller.getSharingDialog();
 
			Button openSharingWindow = new Button("Show Sharing Window", new ClickHandler() { 
				public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
							sharingWindow.show();
					}
			});

Smart Version: The sharing dialog provides the selected users as InfoContactModel or CredentialModel (see 'Smart Version usage example')

Screenshot:

Smart Version usage example:

			FileModel file = new FileModel("id", "filename", false);
 
/**
			 *  This controller instance the smart sharing dialog
			 * @param file - a fake file to display the field name ("filename") into dialog
			 * @param listAlreadySharedContact
			 */
 
			WorkspaceSmartSharingController controller = new WorkspaceSmartSharingController(file, null);
 
			final Dialog sharingWindow = controller.getSharingDialog();
 
			Button openSharingWindow = new Button("Show Sharing Window", new ClickHandler() { 
				public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
							sharingWindow.show();
					}
			});
 
	                sharingWindow.getButtonById(Dialog.OK).addListener(Events.Select, new Listener<BaseEvent>() {
 
			@Override
			public void handleEvent(BaseEvent be) {
 
				if(sharingWindow.isValidForm(true)){
					//THAT'S OK
 
					sharingWindow.getSharedListUsers(); //@return the selected contacts (as InfoContactModel)
 
					sharingWindow.getSharedListUsersCredential(); //@return the selected contacts (as CredentialModel)
 
					for (InfoContactModel contact : sharingWindow.getSharedListUsers()) {
						System.out.println(contact);
					}
 
					for (CredentialModel credential : sharingWindow.getSharedListUsersCredential()) {
						System.out.println(credential);
					}
 
				}
 
			}
		});

Tagcloud Visualisation Widget

This is a simple widget which extends a GCubeDialog popup to provide tagcloud visualisations. The component is initialized like

IndexVisualisationPanel(String domElementID, int width, int height)

where domElementID should be a random (but unique) id to be assigned to the panel's dom element, and followingly it can be called like below

visualiseWordCloudData(Map<String,Integer> wordcloudKeyValues)

to provide a simple wordcloud within a panel.
