Tapestry and ‘Editable for Bootstrap’

Twitter Bootstrap is a relief to programmers like me who were never good at web-designing. It has a nice javascript library and there are already modules to integrate twitter-bootstrap with tapestry. There are a lot of good add ons coming up for bootstrap and one of my favourites is the Editable for Bootstrap. Every time I see such a library I wait for a oppurtunity to integrate it with Tapestry.

Integrating Bootstrap JS with Tapestry5

Adding Bootstrap JS Twispy to your template is very easy

<a href='#' class='twipsy' data-title='My Twipsy'>Hover over me</a>
<script type='text/javascript'>
   $('.twipsy').twipsy();
</a>

and you can always use property-expressions to display some dynamic data. But what if you want to have block rendered as title. This was exactly what I was trying to accomplish in one of my recent projects. (We are using tapestry-jquery for jquery support in that project.)

Tapestry Facebook Integration

Continuing from the Tweeting post, lets us extend the OAuth Service to enable us to post on a user’s wall. As all the hard work has already been done, we just have to tweak things a little.

Tweeting with Tapestry

For tweeting in java, there are not many options like there are in other languages especially ruby. The best solution I have found is scribe-java. Interfacing with this library is very easy but you waste a lot of time trying to find what to do when.
