Ajax Calendar component with Spacetime extensions
« Ajax with Seam or Spring Web Flow? | Main | Ajax Push at fisl9.0 »ICEfaces 1.7 will contain a number of enhancements; in particular, we've greatly improved the Calendar component (or "selectInputDate") to full spacetime support. Currently, ice:selectInputDate allows you to choose a date in your current locale:
This has now been extended to full spacetime selection with ice:selectInputSpacetime (simply a four-dimensional generalization of one-dimensional time selection) with accommodations for special and general relativity (without singularities; support for singularities is considered to be relevant only to large-scale commercial deployments, such as those exceeding 20 solar masses, and requires a support contract ).
Ajax Push works well with this new component, since it has both input and output aspects; for instance, to choose the location of a meeting while it is being scheduled by the other participants. Future enhancements to the component will allow spacetime range selection in the form of arbitrary but convex, bounded regions.
