48 This API allows you to write your application logic in Java and
49 present it using modern HTML rendering technologies like
50 <a href="http://knockoutjs.com">Knockout</a>
51 <img src="doc-files/html4j.png">.
54 Use <a href="Model.html">@Model</a> annotation to define one or more
55 model classes with <a href="Property.html">properties</a>. Don't waste
56 time writing setters or getters - they will be generated for you.
57 Just instantiate your classes and use them!
60 The class generator does not stop with getters and setters -- internally
61 it generates bindings for various HTML technologies. Just include appropriate
62 technology implementation on classpath of your application and your model
63 class(es) will automatically be bound to your HTML elements (after calling
64 <code>applyBindings()</code> on your model).
67 You don't have bother with JavaScript. All your application logic is in
68 Java. The necessary JavaScript needed for the HTML bindings remains hidden
69 as an implementation detail of communication between the generated model
70 class(es) and appropriate technology bridge (like artifact with id <code>ko-fx</code>
71 and group id <code>org.apidesign.html</code>).
74 The model classes can be used for JSON based server communication. Just
75 use <a href="OnReceive.html">@OnReceive</a> annotation to define a communication
76 point in the model class. Please note, that the model classes can easily
77 be used on server as well - the same code can run
78 in your browser as well as on your server. Just add following to your <em>pom.xml</em>
79 to use your classes generated by <a href="Model.html">@Model</a> annotation
80 as <a href="http://jersey.java.net" target="new">Jersey</a> entities:
84 <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
85 <artifactId>html-json</artifactId>
86 <version>2.1</version>
87 <scope>runtime</scope>
91 Behavior of model classes can be enriched by using
92 <a href="ComputedProperty.html">@ComputedProperty</a> annotation (to
93 define <em>derived</em> properties) and by
94 <a href="Function.html">@Function</a> annotation to define handlers
95 to be invoked from the HTML elements.
97 <script type="text/javascript">
98 var arr = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
99 if (arr.length === 2) {
100 arr[0].style.visibility = 'hidden';
