AJAX Event Calendar for Java and jQuery Tutorial (Open-Source)

AJAX Event Calendar for Java and jQuery

This tutorial shows how to create an AJAX event calendar in a Java web application. It supports drag and drop operations (event creating, moving, resizing).

It uses the open-source DayPilot Lite for Java widget:

The sample J2EE application (available as a .war file and as source) is tested with Tomcat 6 and Tomcat 7 and requires JRE 1.5 or higher.

Features:

• jQuery plugin API
• Drag & drop event creating
• Drag & drop event moving
• Drag & drop event resizing
• Week view
• Java source code

The client-side (JavaScript) configuration uses the jQuery plugin and fits in 9 lines:

$(document).ready(function() {
  var dpc = $("#dpc").daypilotCalendar({
    backendUrl : '${pageContext.request.contextPath}/dpc',
    viewType : "Week",
    eventMoveHandling : "CallBack",
    eventResizeHandling: "CallBack",
    timeRangeSelectedHandling : "CallBack"
  });
});
