JavaPlanner: Full-Featured Scheduler for Java

Monday, March 4th, 2013

In our efforts to simplify the use of dhtmlxScheduler with the server-side technologies, we would like to introduce our new product, JavaPlanner. It is a Java (backend) version of our event calendar that allows you to effortlessly integrate a scheduling calendar into your web-based Java applications.

JavaPlanner provides easy integration with JSP and popular Java frameworks: Grails, Spring, and Struts. You can also use JavaPlanner with other frameworks since its server-side code uses the standard Java approaches.

To see how to use JavaPlanner with mentioned technologies, you can download demo apps for Grails, Spring, Struts, or JSP.

JavaPlanner - Event Calendar for Java

Just like dhtmlxScheduler, JavaPlanner is highly customizable and easy to use by professional developers and newbies. It offers a quick and effective solution to add a nice-looking, Google-like event calendar to your Java pages. The main features are:

intuitive drag-and-drop interface

advanced server-side API

different views: Day, Week, Month, Year, Agenda, etc.

multiple resources views: Timeline, Units View

multi-page export to PDF/iCal

popup datepicker for quick navigation

the ability to highlight and block time spans

support for recurring events

integration with Google Maps

and other great features

JavaPlanner is released under Commercial ($299) and Enterprise ($799) licenses. There is 30-days free trial that can be downloaded from JavaPlanner’s website. If you have any questions or feature suggestions, feel free to leave them in comments.

dhtmlxConnector for PHP, Java, ASP.NET Updated to v.1.5

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

We would like to introduce the update of dhtmlxConnectors for PHP, Java, and ASP.NET. The connectors were developed to simplify data binding between the client-side DHTMLX components and a database on the server. The new version 1.5 brings better security, flexibility, and improved support for dhtmlxScheduler and DHTMLX Touch.

Security Improvements

XSS (Cross Site Scripting) is a known security vulnerability of web pages which load the content dynamically from the server-side database. To protect web pages from injection of malicious scripts, version 1.5 of dhtmlxConnector comes with XSS filtering enabled by default. The update also includes server-side protection techniques that prevent CSRF and XSRF attacks.

More Flexibility

With this update, dhtmlxConnector offers additional methods for data rendering. Introducing support for stored procedures calls, we added the ability to retrieve data form the database using the stored procedure.

Another enhancement in version 1.5 is that the connector now can get content from data arrays, which gives you more freedom when choosing the data source to load data from (you can use the connector with non-database data sources).

dhtmlxConnector v.1.5 provides better support for OOP (Object Oriented Programming) that includes support for data model and data behavior classes.

Scheduler and DHTMLX Touch

Working with dhtmlxScheduler, you can now generate data in JSON format using JSONSchedulerConnector class. We have also improved support for our mobile framework DHTMLX Touch by adding dynamic loading capability and implementing the full existing functionality of the main connectors.

To download the new version of dhtmlxConnectors and watch the updated video tutorial, visit this page.

DHTMLX Java Tag Library by Mylaensys

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

If you are a Java developer that uses DHTMLX components, check out the DHTMLX Java™ Tag Library created by Mylaensys. They offer a collection of easy-to-use custom tags to easily combine the power and flexibility of DHTMLX components with Java™ technology.

The Tag library encapsulates the core DHTMLX functionality as simple tags, which are common to many web applications, providing support for tasks, such as DHTMLX components initialization, components integration, internationalization, and security. The JSP pages created with the Java Tag Library are simple, easy to develop and maintain, and ready to be used with any Java web framework.

The code example below illustrates the initialization of dhtmlxTabbar:

1. <dhtmlx:body name="initializeDHTMLX" imagePath="imgs/">
2. <dhtmlx:tabbar name="tabbar" id="document.body">
3. <dhtmlx:tab name="a1" text="Tab-a1" id="tab_a1"/>
4. <dhtmlx:tab name="a2" text="Tab-a2" id="tab_a2"/>
5. </dhtmlx:tabbar>
6. </dhtmlx:body>

The Tag Library code generator translates the tags into the necessary JavaScript for component initialization, adding minimal cost to the overall performance.

The current release 1.5 is based on DHTMLX 2.6, an update is scheduled for autumn 2011, which will include the updated features of DHTMLX 3.0. For additional information and technical details, please visit Mylaensys blog.

Grid-to-Excel, Grid-to-PDF Available for Java

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

dhtmlxGrid now offers export to Excel and PDF services for Java. This functionality has been already introduced for PHP, but we are finally releasing the Java version. We know that many of you have been expecting this release, so you can now download the packages and enjoy ready-to-use export functionality:

Export to Excel
Export to PDF

There is also a .zip archive with an example that demonstrates how this functionality works for PDF and Excel. Export-to-PDF adds printing capabilities for dhtmlxGrid deployed in the Java-based interface, while the Export-to-Excel feature enables you to send online grid data to the desktop environment.

To get an idea of how to use these export services, see the documentation for PHP:

The approach is almost the same. If you’re familiar with Java technology, you’ll easily learn how to use the export functionality in your own web applications. For any technical questions, contact us on Forum.
