Unfortunately, there is no real mobile-language. Its usually done using various levels of HTML depending on device and some special CSS (depending on the device, too).

For the HTML you can't have multiple HTML files for 1 Java file in Wicket unless you where to do some kind of trickery with Locale, which is not advisable. You can use markup inheritance to create a main-page and then extend it in the flavors of the possibilities of the mobile devices... but also think: you are better
off aiming for pocketIE or pocketOpera (...) as for special and device dependent markups.

If you want to have a standard-website which is also usable with mobile devices then your key to success is clean HTML + individual CSS files for the target environment.
