If you wish to give the user the ability to browse your server's file-system (and you're comfortable with the security implications, permissions etc ...) you can hand one of Wicket's Tree (or TreeTable in Wicket extensions) implementations a TreeModel whose nodes are (or hold) folders/files that know how to retrieve their children using java.io.File and ... that's all you need to do. To save time (or if you need some hints), you should be able to find several implementations of some sort of "FileSystemTreeModel" on Swing related sites via Google: http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/jtree/ this is quite good, iirc, but it's many years since I read it, probably in the last millennium! If you're not interested in all of it (it talks about how the JTree works in general), just look at the downloadable java code there related to the TreeModel and TreeNodes. I think Kim Topley (yep that's a plug for an old mate) may also have written about this in his evergreen Swing books, where the more advanced Swing components (and their models) are very clearly described, in great detail.
If your users expect to click on a node to view a file, or eidt or delete it somehow, then you'll have plenty more to think about. If you are looking to show the client-side file-system in the browser, I'll leave that up to someone a bit more into javascript, but also check out http://sstree.tigris.org/ sstree for browser-side ideas for displaying hierarchical data.
