Feature Suggestion - LOV Window

[salehmamdouh1984]

I used to program in Oracle ADF long time ago. Oracle ADF has so many nice feature that I see could be migrated into grails.

Suppose I am create an Employee that belongs to a department. Instead of display the departement field as a dropdown list, I want to able to tell the script, that for this property generate an LOV window.

LOV Window: A link or a button that will open a pop-up window, to allow user to search for the department for example. Once he select the department, that will update parent page.

If you are not going to adopt this idea, can anyone please guide how to start implementing these in the Grails framework.

Is there any architectural documentation on the source code of Grails. I have so many ideas and want to contribute to the Grails open source project.

Not really but even if there was, it wouldn't play much of a role in the issue described above. Generating the behavior described above would probably not require more than defining custom templates. I think #22 may be the only thing preventing you from doing that today.
