ZK Component Development Essentials/Creating a simple ZK Component/Implementing the Widget/Putting it all Together

The widget implementation must be placed in an independent JavaScript file. The file must be placed under the directory, /web/js/package-path, in the Java class path. Since the widget name is SimpleLabel and the package name is com.foo, the file path is /web/js/com/foo/SimpleLabel.js.

zk.$package('simplelabel');

com.foo.SimpleLabel = zk.$extends(zk.Widget, {
	_value : '', // default value

	getValue : function() {
		return this._value;
	},

	setValue : function(value) {
		if (this._value != value) {
			this._value = value;
			if (this.desktop)
				this.$n().innerHTML = zUtl.encodeXML(value);
		}
	}

});
