Everyone, I have several intranet sites that I am working on. All of them should have the same basic look, but will have different top menus (for navigation). Toward this end, I have created a library (jar) that will contain the base page, its markup, and the css and images needed for the look of the pages. I load the css from within the base page using a PackageResourceReference and intend to do the same with images (which will be a bit unwieldy as there are quite a few images and I'll have to create wicket components just to point to them).
The problem I have is with the menu. Each web app will have its own
subclass of my base page and must implement an abstract initHeaderMenu()
method to install the navigational menu. This navigational menu uses
images that are provided in my common library. Each subclass can create
its own PackageResourceReferences using super's class or I can provide
protected methods in the base class that will return appropriate
PackageResourceReferences like:
protected PackageResourceReference getMenuLeftGraphic() { ... }
protected PackageResourceReference getMenuRightGraphic() { ... }
protected PackageResourceReference getMenuSeperatorGraphic() { ... }
Am I missing anything? Is there an easier way to do this? Plugging in
the css is easy enough. Plugging in the images seems overly complex.
Thanks,
