Hi,
trying to test Wicket pages or components I find it sometimes
annoying to try and figure out the paths of various components.
Yes, we have the possibility to get the paths from the UI itself,
but when testing a component in isolation or a page that
can reached only with a long workflow, I feel it would be better
to have a more direct way.

In the spirit of the print(dom) utility that we have to dump
down a xml document returned by GeoServer services, I think
it would be nice to have a print(Component/Page) that prints
in text the component hierarchy, with ids, visibility status,
and eventually the model values, something like:

form []
   name [John]
   surname [Doe]
   hiddenField (h) [secret]

where the value is in square brackets and (h) marks
hidden components. We could also consider adding
a third param like the component class (optional,
so it would be print(component, showClasses, showValues))

What do you think?
I looked around but could not find such an utility
already made.

Cheers
Andrea
