booking-mvc sample - issues

[Ajay Mahajan]

I have been tracking the booking mvc sample (since we are not there yet as far as JSF goes) from M2. The sample in RC1 has some issues as follows:

1. On entering the url, it first goes to hotel search instead of intro
2. Ajaxification is not implemented on text boxes in search or the Enter booking details screen. Ideally booking mvc should show how to use the spring.js abstraction
3. In enter booking details, if i make the from date field empty and submit, i get an exception stack trace.
4. Calendar popups dont appear in booking-mvc as they appear in booking-faces. As in point 2, if spring.js helps to hide, let the booking-mvc too benefit.
5. In listing of hotels, previous and next are no longer appearing.
6. Validations for credit card and name are no longer asked.

All these problems dont plague the spring-faces version. Will be useful if booking-mvc is on par with booking-faces. If a night build has these issues corrected, will be happy to know.

We wanted to transition over from M2 to RC1 and build some prototypes.

Also webflow is quite similar to Websphere business components composer (WSBCC) concept of processor, flow states and subflows, and goes much beyond it. Its definitely a good framework to use.

Yes, understood, and showing how to use Spring.js directly has been a focus for us since 2.0.0.RC1. You might want to try out the latest 2.0.0 nightly build, which does show use of Spring.js for client-side validation. Jeremy should also be committing the Ajax examples shortly.

Last night's build of the MVC sample probably still has some issues as these changes are still in process. Tonight's build should have Ajax and client validation applied throughout.

[Ajay Mahajan]

Yes, in 2.0 the booking mvc application with ajax really looks good. However, under the hood there are some observations.

Earlier, in M2, the main hotels page and functions such as search, were also in flow definition "main.xml". These have become plain MVC now and accessed through HotelsController. I understand that you might have wanted to contrast the webflow versus plain MVC.

But if using Webflow and taking this example as base,
a. I rather have all possible page navigations covered through webflow.
b. Also, earlier format was also nice in illustrating the spawning of subflow from a main flow.
c. Finally, it would have been nice to illustrate the fragments in webflow definition in this case, i.e. without using JSF, e.g. previous and next results, popups for "Change Search" through flow control.

It appears there are different versions of the booking-mvc sample application... I'd also like to look at the previous version as it appears to have more flow examples (that's not to say the current version isn't a good example, just different).

Does anyone know how I could get the source for this?

Much thanks in advance.
