Functional specifications

Proof of concept. Try and create a juicy wicket panel with all possible Ajax features.

• Drag and drop from the starttime
• Timegrid
• Adjust duration
• Popup with startime for new event
• On mouse over with event details

Perhaps we should reuse a existing toolkit. I haven't found a toolkit already integrated with wicket, but AjaxTk? from Zimbra seems very prommising. Its available for download here and a whitepaper is available here. Its available under the mpl and apache licenses.
To integrate this with wicket we can take a look at wicket stuf examples, wicket extensions and wicket-contrib-dojo.

Technical interpretation

• Setup a yui component that calls back to the server (Calendar Widget)
• Create a Calendar grid and events in javascript
• Integrate the calendar grid in wicket

Total	50	0	60

Notes

Integration of yui in wicket is already in wicket-stuff, however this is very basic and for wicket 2.0-SNAPSHOT. The implementation we created can be found in svn.
