Re: CSS Templating
Agreed. This is what I ended up doing. Thanks for the ideas all.

Then, in each application, include a appXYZ.css that simply changes
colors, background images, etc, that you would presumably be doing on a
per-site basis.

You might be better off considering a separate CSS generator that
doesn't generate CSS at 'page render time'.

Subject: CSS Templating
All,
I've been exploring the use of TextTemplateHeaderContributor.forCss
method
to build a CSS template for multiple application.
Take for example:
IModelMapString, Object model = new
AbstractReadOnlyModelMapString,Object(){
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Override
public MapString, Object getObject() {
HashMapString,Object map = new HashMapString, Object();
map.put(body-bgcolor, red);
return map;
}
};
add(TextTemplateHeaderContributor.forCss(WelcomePage.class,
Template.css,
model));
with CSS template:
body{
background-color: ${body-bgcolor};
}
The output works. However, the template is contributing to the header
in
the
form of:
style type=text/css!-- body{ background-color: red; }--/style
which is unacceptable. Is there a way to generate a .css file to be
used by
the application ?
Thank you

usually you would simply write a servlet to do it, but if you insist
on doing it in wicket...

Re: CSS Templating
If you are trying to achieve css variables, you may want to consider using wro4j: (http://code.google.com/p/wro4j/wiki/GettingStarted). It does support css variables, besides other dozen features (like less css meta framework integration, merge, minification, cache, build time runtime solution, etc). It integrates very easy in any j2ee application and is compatible with jdk-1.5 servlet-api-2.3.
