Work with ZK6 MVVM

since 6.0.0

For work with ZK6 MVVM, it is required to create an addon xml and add the server annotation as follows:

WEB-INF/ckez-bind-addon.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<language-addon>
	<!-- The name of this addon. It must be unique -->
	<addon-name>ckezbind</addon-name>
	<!-- Specifies what other addon this depends
	<depends></depends>
	-->
	<!-- Which language this addon will be added to -->
	<language-name>xul/html</language-name>

	<component>
		<component-name>ckeditor</component-name>
		<extends>ckeditor</extends>
		<annotation>
			<annotation-name>ZKBIND</annotation-name>
			<property-name>value</property-name>
			<attribute>
				<attribute-name>ACCESS</attribute-name>
				<attribute-value>both</attribute-value>
			</attribute>
			<attribute>
				<attribute-name>SAVE_EVENT</attribute-name>
				<attribute-value>onChange</attribute-value>
			</attribute>
			<attribute>
				<attribute-name>LOAD_REPLACEMENT</attribute-name>
				<attribute-value>value</attribute-value>
			</attribute>
			<attribute>
				<attribute-name>LOAD_TYPE</attribute-name>
				<attribute-value>java.lang.String</attribute-value>
			</attribute>
		</annotation>
	</component>
</language-addon>

then add it into WEB-INF/zk.xml

<zk>
	<language-config>
		<addon-uri>/WEB-INF/ckez-bind-addon.xml</addon-uri>
	</language-config>
</zk>

Since 3.6.0.1, server annotation has been added to the lang-addon.xml file, so you no more need to add the above settings to your zk.xml file.

File browser

ZK CKEditor provides a default file browser for browsing the files in a folder that you specify. You can define a target folder in index.zul and when you open the add image/flash dialog and click "Browse Server", CKEditor will open a new window, and list all the files in the file browser.
