Hi, i would like to share our experiences of our wicket project. Our project
is a turism portal which has booking functionalities with different products
and tourism guides,contents etc. I want to draw your attention that
"tourism guides,contents" part! That would mean lots of wicket pages
because of thousands of different touristic places, pictures, texts,
different layouts and so on. But it have been successfully separated as
html development and java development in the project.
There is a wicket page that responsible for showing those static contents
inside. Every static site page has "resourceId" parameter and this parameter
is processed and returned in "getVariation()" overriden method. How wicket
knows panels and components inside a contentPage on runtime. The answer is
behind "autoAdd()" method. Implement "IComponentResolver" interface and its
"resolve(MarkupContainer container, MarkupStream markupStream, ComponentTag
tag)" method in your content page. Inside that implemented method, a content
service finds and returns the component with "tag.getId()". Then component
is added by "autoAdd(component)". This is java part of dynamically component
resolving and adding to markup render. (also have a look in
AutoComponentResolver
class)
In html content part, a commercial CMS application is used to manage static
contents such as guides, tourism contents, any layout with "wicket:id"
attributes for components which will be loaded dynamically.
I am grateful to wicket-guys for that they created a framework like this.
Because, at once and ever first time in my programing life, i didnt care
about html part of the application :) Since all you know, html developers
create web site and html layouts, and then we -as developers- had put our
dynamic code blocks, expressions, custom jsp tags etc. at past!
here are the urls of our application for example to a wicket application in
such a heavy-loaded ecommerce:
www.avigo.de , www.dertour.de, www.atlasreisen.de, www.der.de,
www.meiers-weltreisen.de, www.adacreisen.de
these sites can be completely success-stories of Wicket-Hibernate-Spring
triology.

Thanks for the reply. Not suggesting it should be part of the main
distribution. I am new to the framework and was trying to see if what I
proposed made sense. I want to make sure that I don't hinder or create
barriers to content creation on our portal and wanted to do it in a manner
that made sense. Maybe there are other ways to manage "separation of
concerns".
In general are their recommended best practices regarding coordination and
workflow between the pure HTML designers and Java coders? In the component
model, seems like an HTML designer will come up with basic look and feel,
CSS, etc. and then the people on the framework side will
refactor/"componentize" the markup. At this point the original markup may
now be generated by an OO refactoring involving a number of new
pages/components to insert dynamic content/behavior. The original design
is
now split into a variety of new pages and will no longer be readily
accessible to the original designer as they now have to work on a variety
of
fragments. Any references to how to keep the HTML development happy would
be
appreciated.
Thanks
