/**
* Base class for Components with all client-side logic implemented using
* JavaScript.
*
* When a new JavaScript component is initialized in the browser, the framework
* will look for a globally defined JavaScript function that will initialize the
* component. The name of the initialization function is formed by replacing .
* with _ in the name of the server-side class. If no such function is defined,
* each super class is used in turn until a match is found. The framework will
* thus first attempt with com_example_MyComponent for the
* server-side
* com.example.MyComponent extends AbstractJavaScriptComponent
* class. If MyComponent instead extends com.example.SuperComponent
* , then com_example_SuperComponent will also be attempted if
* com_example_MyComponent has not been defined.
*
* JavaScript components have a very simple GWT widget (
* {@link com.vaadin.client.ui.JavaScriptWidget} ) just consisting of a
* div element to which the JavaScript code should initialize its
* own user interface.
*
* The initialization function will be called with this pointing to
* a connector wrapper object providing integration to Vaadin. Please note that
* in JavaScript, this is not necessarily defined inside callback
* functions and it might therefore be necessary to assign the reference to a
* separate variable, e.g. var self = this;. The following
* functions are provided by the connector wrapper object:
*
* getConnectorId() - returns a string with the id of the
* connector.getParentId([connectorId]) - returns a string with the id of
* the connector's parent. If connectorId is provided, the id of
* the parent of the corresponding connector with the passed id is returned
* instead.getElement([connectorId]) - returns the DOM Element that is
* the root of a connector's widget. null is returned if the
* connector can not be found or if the connector doesn't have a widget. If
* connectorId is not provided, the connector id of the current
* connector will be used.getState() - returns an object corresponding to the shared
* state defined on the server. The scheme for conversion between Java and
* JavaScript types is described bellow.registerRpc([name, ] rpcObject) - registers the
* rpcObject as a RPC handler. rpcObject should be an
* object with field containing functions for all eligible RPC functions. If
* name is provided, the RPC handler will only used for RPC calls
* for the RPC interface with the same fully qualified Java name. If no
* name is provided, the RPC handler will be used for all incoming
* RPC invocations where the RPC method name is defined as a function field in
* the handler. The scheme for conversion between Java types in the RPC
* interface definition and the JavaScript values passed as arguments to the
* handler functions is described bellow.getRpcProxy([name]) - returns an RPC proxy object. If
* name is provided, the proxy object will contain functions for
* all methods in the RPC interface with the same fully qualified name, provided
* a RPC handler has been registered by the server-side code. If no
* name is provided, the returned RPC proxy object will contain
* functions for all methods in all RPC interfaces registered for the connector
* on the server. If the same method name is present in multiple registered RPC
* interfaces, the corresponding function in the RPC proxy object will throw an
* exception when called. The scheme for conversion between Java types in the
* RPC interface and the JavaScript values that should be passed to the
* functions is described bellow.translateVaadinUri(uri) - Translates a Vaadin URI to a URL
* that can be used in the browser. This is just way of accessing
* {@link com.vaadin.client.ApplicationConnection#translateVaadinUri(String)}addResizeListener(element, callbackFunction) - Registers a
* listener that gets notified whenever the size of the provided element
* changes. The listener is called with one parameter: an event object with the
* element property pointing to the element that has been resized.
* removeResizeListener(element, callbackFunction) -
* Unregisters a combination of an element and a listener that has previously
* been registered using addResizeListener. All registered
* listeners are automatically unregistered when this connector is unregistered,
* but this method can be use to to unregister a listener at an earlier point in
* time.
*
* The connector wrapper also supports these special functions:
*
* onStateChange - If the JavaScript code assigns a function to
* the field, that function is called whenever the contents of the shared state
* is changed.onUnregister - If the JavaScript code assigns a function to
* the field, that function is called when the connector has been
* unregistered.- Any field name corresponding to a call to
* {@link #addFunction(String, JavaScriptFunction)} on the server will
* automatically be present as a function that triggers the registered function
* on the server.
* - Any field name referred to using {@link #callFunction(String, Object...)}
* on the server will be called if a function has been assigned to the
* field.
*
*
*
* Values in the Shared State and in RPC calls are converted between Java and
* JavaScript using the following conventions:
*
* - Primitive Java numbers (byte, char, int, long, float, double) and their
* boxed types (Byte, Character, Integer, Long, Float, Double) are represented
* by JavaScript numbers.
* - The primitive Java boolean and the boxed Boolean are represented by
* JavaScript booleans.
* - Java Strings are represented by JavaScript strings.
* - Java Dates are represented by JavaScript numbers containing the timestamp
*
* - List, Set and all arrays in Java are represented by JavaScript
* arrays.
* - Map<String, ?> in Java is represented by JavaScript object with
* fields corresponding to the map keys.
* - Any other Java Map is represented by a JavaScript array containing two
* arrays, the first contains the keys and the second contains the values in the
* same order.
* - A Java Bean is represented by a JavaScript object with fields
* corresponding to the bean's properties.
* - A Java Connector is represented by a JavaScript string containing the
* connector's id.
* - A pluggable serialization mechanism is provided for types not described
* here. Please refer to the documentation for specific types for serialization
* information.
