Two things to point out regarding to Zimbra Ajax Toolkit. One is positive and
one is negative:
1>With regard to Martin Cooper's comments on how Zimbra Ajax Toolkit is so
"yesterday" - i looked at Zimbra's source code. It is actually fairly well
written with fairly good coding style and comments, definitely a big plus from
a code maintenance perspective (for example, much better than dojo). Martin, do
you care to please explain what you see are problematic of Zimbra toolkit from
an architectural and coding perspective (technical perspective)? I think it is
well architected, to the contrary. (disclaimer: i only looked at the source
code for about 20 minutes).
2>on the negative side, I downloaded the toolkit, tried it but it didn't even
work!
I downloaded Zimbra Ajax Toolkit according to instruction. First of all, my
zip program can not unzip the file. The file name was
"AjaxTK-3.0.0_M3_352-src[1]". I have to rename the file extension to ".tar" in
order to unzip it - which happened only after a friend told me to do so;
secondly, after I unzipped it, I put it on tomcat and try to run the examples -
none of the examples actually worked!
Here is the error I got from JavaScript Console (lots of error like this):
Error: I18nMsg is not defined Source File:
http://localhost:8080/ajax/js/util/AjxText.js Line: 270
I didn't do anything special. I unzipped it, put "WebRoot" files onto a
Tomcat container, renamed it to "Ajax", and started a browser. The default page
contains links to a few examples. There were only about 4-5 examples but none
of them worked.
Can Zimbra folks care to explain and get code working at least before
submitting to Apache?
