Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets
JavaScript
Add-ons
Publish API from Java
getPage().getJavaScript().addFunction("myCallback",	
	 new JavaScriptCallback() {	
	 	 public void call(JSONArray arguments) throws JSONException {	
	 	 	 // Do something with the arguments	
	 	 }	
	 });	
	 	

Use from JavaScript
window.myCallback('foo', 100);
Server-side Java API for Widget
!
public class MyWidget extends AbstractJavaScriptComponent {	
	 public MyWidget() {	
	 	 addFunction("plotClick", new JavaScriptFunction() {	
	 	 	 public void call(JSONArray arguments) throws JSONException {	
	 	 	 	 // Do something with the event	
	 	 	 }	
	 	 });	
	 }	
!
	 public static class MyWidgetState extends JavaScriptComponentState {	
	 	 public List<List<List<Double>>> plotSeriesData = 	
	 	 	 	 new ArrayList<List<List<Double>>>();	
	 }	
public MyWidgetState getState() { return (MyWidgetState) super.getState(); }	
!
!
}
Widget implementation in JavaScript
window.com_example_MyWidget = function() {	
	 var element = $(this.getWidgetElement());	
	 	
// Draw a plot for any server-side (plot data) state change	
	 this.onStateChange = function() {	
	 	 $.plot(element, this.getState().series, {grid: {clickable: true}});	
	 }	
!
// Communicate local events back to server-side component	
	 element.bind('plotclick', function(event, point, item) {	
	 	 if (item) {	
	
var onPlotClick = this.getCallback("plotClick");	
	 	 	 onPlotClick(item.seriesIndex, item.dataIndex);	
	 	 }	
	 });
