Re: Collaborating with JTrack for integration with SCM and SLA systems

Currently we (www.abiss.gr) are finishing off the Greek
translation and 
moving to the asset management integration.

We have not used Wicket before and in general would like to
do this the 
JTrac way, so i was hoping the list can provide some advice,
as we would 
like to donate the code and help maintaining it.

First of all in a form to create a ticket; how would you
like the ASM 
info added? We where thinking:

* Implement a custom field type for communicating with third
systems. 
Each such field, essentially should accept an ID that
represents the 
asset in the external system.

* Within JTrac, there should be an interface for classes 
loading/providing data based on such an ID. During space
creation and 
when adding a custom field like suggested above, the user
should be able 
to select the class that will provide the data (a string,
maybe markup) 
based on the ID given during ticket creation.

* Not sure how to make this work in the view with Wicket


In the above scenario the connector implementations
themselves can be a 
different project, but some additions should go in the
JTrack code.

Thoughts and suggestions welcome. With your help we can have
an 
implementation some time tommorrow or the day after.

Many thanks,

Manos
