It's usually done using various levels of HTML depending on device and some special CSS (also dependent on the device). 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. Some links to get started: http://www.w3.org/TR/css-mobile/ http://www.htmldog.com/ptg/archives/000055.php http://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/fahrplan/events/933.de.html http://www.westciv.com/style_master/academy/css_tutorial/advanced/mobile_profile.html These pages should give you a way to understand how to achieve best coverage for various devices. Using Markup Inheritance 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 for special and device dependent markups. Using Varying Versions of HTML Pages In addition to allowing you to use markup inheritance, Wicket supports different styles, localizations and variations for one given Java page/panel. MyPage.java can have many different HTML files: MyPage.html MyPage_en.html MyPage_de.html MyPage_wap.html MyPage_purple.html MyPage_wap_en.html etc. The order of style, variation and language could be different. The only thing you need to do in this case is to keep the component hierarchy in sync between the different markup files. Determining Mobile Device Capabilities You can provide a custom request cycle and override newClientInfo to plugin your client capabilities (and e.g. call Session#setStyle accordingly).
