I will answer my own post, just in case somebody else is looking for a
solution to the same problem. I have found two ways to get the resource
loading to do exactly what I want (There are probably a lot more out there):
Solution 1 (The easiest one in my opinion):
Do the following changes to ContactPanel.html:
Replace the <span wicket:id="nameLabel"></span> tag with <wicket:message
key="nameLabel"></wicket:message> (and the same for userNameLabel,
phoneLabel and emailLabel).
It works straight away for the nameLabel in the hrContactPanel it picks up
the string "HR Contact:" from the VacancyPage.properties file and for the
nameLabel in hiringManagerPanel it picks up the string "Hiring Manager:"
instead, just as it should :-)
Solution 2:
Instead of using the ResourceModel you have to use the StringResourceModel
and supply the component and an empty model. Note that it does not work
unless you supply the component (this) to the ResourceModel. Here is the
updated ContactPanel.java:
public class ContactPanel extends Panel {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public ContactPanel(String id, IModel model) {
super(id, model);
add(new Label("nameLabel", new StringResourceModel("nameLabel",
this, null)));
add(new Label("name"));
add(new Label("userNameLabel", new
StringResourceModel("userNameLabel", this, null)));
add(new Label("userName"));
add(new Label("phoneLabel", new StringResourceModel("phoneLabel",
this, null)));
add(new Label("phone"));
add(new Label("emailLabel", new StringResourceModel("emailLabel",
this, null)));
add(new Label("email"));
}
}
