A short post to say that I've been working intensively on event handling on Woody since yesterday. I'm nearly finished with it, and obtained something powerful-yet-simple, that allows to define event handlers on actions (ActionEvent) and fields (ValueChangeEvent). The goal is also to allow event listeners to be written both in Java (classic-style) and in JavaScript (flowscript-style).
This morning, I was reading an article about JavaServerFaces (never did look at it before), digged a bit, and discovered that what I was doing was very close to JSF event handling, and grabbed some interesting points. Digged further, and found the lifecycle thing very interesting, and once again close to the way Woody handles form processing. Parts of the JSF are not so bad and can be a good inspiration source ;-)
Once this infrastructure is in place, I plan to write specialized repeater-actions that automatically handle add/delete row in repeaters.
More soon...
