We finished our last lesson with our Widgets Direct page iterating over a list of widgets, displaying an ID and a Name value.  While we have been able to achieve this with only a small amount of coding, the page itself is not the most visually appealing place to be.  The AngularJS framework is providing a powerful Model-View-Controller framework for our structure and logic, but it does not implement anything that will provide a nice UI experience.  For that we need to implement a UI toolkit.  We have numerous options here; the leading toolkits are BootStrap from Twitter and Angular Material

We finished our last lesson with our Widgets Direct page receiving a Welcome message as a property of a JSON object, which was unpacked and displayed on the page. However, we are on Lesson 3, and we still haven't had any talk of displaying widgets yet.  

Let's change that.  Widgets Direct are a leader in widget and widget accessories, so we clearly have numerous items to display.   To transfer this, we will need to declare and return our first array.  Let's go back to our REST.Dispatch class, and add this data to our Service.

Hi everyone, I have and Zen Mojo application, it's all working but I have some doubts about what is recommended to use: There is some reports of employees, for example, and actually I'm using some plugins : "Excelent export" to generate Excel reports and "jspdf" to generate PDF reports in client side.

I have an REST service, that receives the request, process and returns JSON, after client side receive the response it's processed.

- This can be slow/bad in applications with large data?

- It's better/recommended to use ZenReports even with ZenMojo applications?

I thought I'd share some issues I had today with Zen development in a custom component. Say we have created a Zen composite component with a few javascript methods that modify its child components. In order to modify these components, we can use something like the following method:

In JavaScript methods on the client, this refers to the current component or page. The equivalent for expressions that are values of XML attributes is zenThis (see documentation).

If you spend a lot of time working with javascript, json and html and you are new to Eclipse / Atelier you may like this tip. 

I've released a comprehensive, free online training course on the new EWD 3 suite of products that allow the integration of Cache with the burgeoning Node.js world, and allow you to create and run browser-based and mobile applications with all the very latest development technologies from the JavaScript world.

I'm running into difficulty calling a javascript method from a Zenmethod.  I pass in a parameter, but in the javascript method the parameter is undefined.  Here is the code:

...

<button id="btnSave" caption="Save " onclick="zenPage.doSave();" controlClass="bButton"/>

...

Method doSave() [ ZenMethod ]
{

          If (..ID = "AddNew"){
                    //do save code here                   
                    &js<zenPage.doAddNew();>      //this works just fine, but there's no parameter
          }Else{
                    //do update code here
