[Wicket-user] nesting components

[Vincent Jenks]

I'm trying to nest a Label within a Link so the name of the link displayed is dynamic (please fill me in if there's a better way.)

Here's my Link & Label on the page:

<a href="" wicket:id="link"><span wicket:id="linkName">link</span></a>

Here's the panel class:

public class TrailPanel extends Panel
{
    public TrailPanel(String id, String linkName)
    {
        super(id);
       
        //create link w/ event handler
        Link currentLink = new Link("link")
        {
            public void onClick()
            {
                //redirect
                setResponsePage(getPage());
            }
        };       
       
        //add link to page
        add(currentLink);
        add(new Label("linkName", linkName));
    }
}

I'm getting this exception, which makes sense..just don't know how to fix it:

wicket.markup.MarkupException: Unable to find component with id 'linkName' in [MarkupContainer [Component id = link, page = com.myapp.ui.admin.EditProduct, path = 1:trailPanel:link.TrailPanel$1, isVisible = true, isVersioned = true]]. This means that you declared wicket:id=linkName in your markup, but that you either did not add the component to your page at all, or that the hierarchy does not match

Don't shoot the n00b!!
