Thanks for the input. I am just getting my feet wet with the platform and am amazed at the underlying capabilities. My main concern is to make sure that I come up to speed regarding best practices, etc. I will ping you again once I have had a chance to digest your comments. I think I understand what you were doing, but I want to dig deeper into the API to try and understand what you have implemented. In general iit appears that you have a small number of page classes, use the request URL to dynamically associate the appropriate html markup file, and then the wicket:id's are handled in an automatic manner so you don't need to create explicit code to handle these references, but do it on an id by id basis. I am also assuming that your markup is probably not jar'd.
Once again thanks. Kadir Sener GUMUS wrote: > > Hi, i would like to share our experiences of our wicket project.
