Yes, it should be straight forward.

You might take a look at the source codes of the zhtml sub-project. It maps each HTML tag to a ZK component.

When you developed such project, you are welcome to share it on ZK.forge ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/zkforge/ ).

OK.
I gave it a look, but because I'm not an expert, here is what I would change on zhtml:

- update the file archive/metainfo/zk/lang.xml writing all Mozilla XUL tags and the corresponding java class;
- update com/potix/zhtml/impl/AbstractTag.java and set not-childeable tags of XUL;
- create a class for every tag and on the contructor, call super("tag");

and here is a question:
- are you sure it's so simple? I don't have to recreate events and all things that you do on ZUL classes (for example: com.potix.xul.html.Button)?.
I would like to use Mozilla XUL, but with the same functionalities of ZUL.
Thank you
bye

In addition to enscapulating XUL tag with a ZK component, you have to use JavaScript to intercept events and send back to the server.

For ZHTML, it is done by addEventJavaScript in AbstractTag.java.

If I want the same functionalities of ZUL (same events) also with XUL, I have to write also JavaScript code or only addEventJavaScript("onXxx")?

The bottom line is the script written in ZUML is interpreted at the server.
On the other hand, XUL's script is interpreted by the browser. Thus, you have to write JavaScript to send a request back to the server and trigger ZK to interpret the script (pure Java).

I suggested you started with onClick or handful events. Refactor them after getting more experiences on it.

Ok, thanks.
I don't know if I have time to do this, but I think it could be very useful.
With this you could write a web application with the GUI and interactions of standalone one.

Bye
