I have a requirement to provide a web site that allows the customer to drill down into database detail. At the lowest level, the web page contains the normal text presentation along with zero to many "Play" buttons. Each button plays a different audio file of previously recorded speech. The user may or may not choose to listen to the audio.

Everything is working except the "Play" buttons. Hibernate/Postgres is a joy, and Wicket is great!

I've modeled the Audio and LocalizedAudioResource classes from Image and LocalizedImageResource. Audio implements IResourceListener. I have the audio streams in memory as a result of the drill down, and, for now, I'm just creating ByteArrayResource objects for each stream (after I get it working, I'll create a Resource class that performs a database fetch). BTW, an audio stream is a java.sql.Blob.

I create the Audio object using the ByteArratResource object. The HTML tag is <embed src="<URL>" width=50 height=50>. The <embed> tag causes the browser to play the track with MediaPlayer or QuickTime.

In LocalizedAudioResource I create a ResourceStreamRequestTarget object and pass that to component.urlFor( obj ). I'm to the point where I need to flesh-out the doEncode(RequestCycle,IRequestTarget) function within WebRequestCodingStrategy in order to create the URL.

So here are some questions:

Will the URL in the web page reference the ResourceStreamRequestTarget? What will that URL look like?

Do I need to wrap the <embed> tag in a button or a link?

Does anyone have any thoughts about the doEncode function?  Sample code?

Am I on the right track, or there an easier way to do this?

Thanks for your help.  Thanks to compagner and chillenious.
