EXT have released a new version of their great Javascript framework V2.1.
I love using EXT and I think it has to be one of the best frameworks currently available; especially for application development. Where as JQuery + Prototype are lightweight frameworks, which are great for developing websites and systems that don`t require indepth widgets.
What I find great is that it also allows integration of additional frameworks like - jQuery, YUI, Prototype + Scriptaculous. So you can still include existing functions into EXT based project.
Oracle/Stellent implements the YUI library using a component which places their Javascriptand CSS files in the weblayout/resources folder. Using that same concept, and following the Scriptaculous component which David Roe has developed, I have done the same to keep these JS framework components consistent..
I have also allowed for addition environment paramaters that can be passed to the header.
Debug=True/False
Adapter=EXT/JQUERY/PROTOTYPE/YUI
Locale= - Currently not available as I haven`t included language support in this instance of EXT.
For those of you who wish to use the EXT framework with Stellent / Oracles UCM and have a corporate EXT license I have created this easy install component:
Oracle / Stellent Content Server EXTjs component.
Feel free to download it, if you like it and want to use it commercially goto EXT and buy a license..

Thanx.
It is just the ext framework bolted onto the UCM you will have to write your own application with custom components to use it..
i am trying to get ucm to return back a json response to work with an extjs grid, i can get the json response back, but i get a javascript error using extjs, have you managed to get anything like this working?
I ended up creating my own service to write out a minified JSON structured document to use with EXTJS..
This post may help although it is jquery..
