ZK is renowned within the Java community for offering users with a highly productive framework to build amazing enterprise web applications. However, apart from that, it also provides powerful yet user friendly components such as ZK Spreadsheet, ZK Pivottable, and ZK Calendar which are popular and widely utilized among ZK users and its community enriching internet applications. To better serve the greater Java community and to better leverage the power of ZKs mega components, in a recent project, the ZK team has integrated ZK Spreadsheet into IBM Lotus Domino XPages, providing extension libraries that can create a bridge for XPages and ZK allowing more users to embed powerful excel functionality and features into their applications.
Users are now able to embed either the full Spreadsheet editor or just the components itself into ZK XPages applications and are able to manipulate the content of the spreadsheet from XPages using managed beans. The new controls have been implemented using the extensibility API and can be deployed as OSGi plug-ins globally to a Domino server.
ZK Spreadsheet is an open source, embeddable web-based spreadsheet that delivers rich functionality of Excel within browsers using pure Java without the need to install Excel or applets on the server or client. With the ability to include Excel functionality in any web page, developers are able to create interactive, collaborative and dynamic enterprise applications at minimal cost. ZK Spreadsheet has become a mainstay in developers toolkits since its first release in February 2008 obtaining favourable reviews across the globe and deployed by various corporate financial institutions.
XPages is a rapid web and mobile application development platform based on JavaScript, JSF and a document orientated database. It allows IBM Lotus Notes data to be displayed to browser clients on all platforms and its applications are hosted by IBM Lotus Domino. With this new integration, users can now leverage the power of both ZK Spreadsheet and XPages, bringing more convenience, efficiency and less effort.
