Last month I posted a Small Talk discussing the use of ZK Calendar with a
database. Since then I have been working closely with ZK Calendar and thought
I would share another way of achieving the same effect.
Extending ZK Calendar’s AbstractCalendarModel
The key is to extend the AbstractCalendarModel and override the get function.
This function is used to retrieve the events from the selected model, in this
case the underlying model architecture is a database.
The ‘get’ function
The get function takes the following parameters:
public List get(Date arg0, Date arg1, RenderContext arg2)
The two Date objects denote the start and end dates respectively whereas the

retrieve the calendar’s TimeZone which is used to align the Date object’s
time with the database’s timezone.

With the release of ZK 5 RC come some very important changes.

frameworks that have different licensing models.

framework and thus the new Client+Server Fusion architecture. Client+Server
Fusion architecture is a phrase coined by ourselves to describe the ability
to leverage both server side and client side programming.

As quite a few people will be aware I went to COSCUP 2009 this weekend to
present my thoughts on the future of Ajax and ZK 5.
I did not know what to expect from COSCUP as this was the first time I have
ever given any sort of presentation in Asia so I must admit I was relatively
apprehensive about it before arriving!
Saturday morning
My day actually began at approximately 7am when I awoke to prepare myself and
give my presentation a quick rundown before heading out to find the venue. I
have to say that organization of the event was superb and everything was
planned to a T. I arriv... (more)
