wicket-dnd

A generic Drag&Drop framework for Wicket:

(see http://code.google.com/p/wicket-dnd for Wicket 1.4 and 1.5)

• operate on any markup element via selectors
• drag and drop between any Wicket components
• vertical, horizontal and hierarchical structured markup
• drag initiators (a.k.a. handles)
• common desktop metaphors with MOVE, COPY and LINK operations
• transfer types
• themeable
• works in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera

See our live examples on http://wicket-dnd-jquery.appspot.com (beware - very slow!).

Themes

You have to add a theme (build-in or your own) to your component you want to enable for DnD, e.g.

container.add(new WindowsTheme());

Drag source

Enable a component as a source of drags:

container.add(new DragSource(Operation.MOVE) {
  public void onAfterDrop(AjaxRequestTarget target, Transfer transfer) {
    // remove transfer data
  }
}.drag("tr"));

In this example only a MOVE operation is allowed. Drags are initiated on <tr> tags.

Drop target

Enable a component as a target for drops:

container.add(new DropTarget(Operation.MOVE, Operation.COPY) {
  public void onDrop(AjaxRequestTarget target, Transfer transfer, Location location) {
    // add transfer data
  }
}.dropCenter("tr"));

In this example MOVE and COPY operations are allowed. Drops are performed on center of <tr> tags, the location holds a reference to the actual component and the anchor the transfer was dropped on.
