Juergen Donnerstag commented on WICKET-1134:
--------------------------------------------
@Abul: why do you need to maintain 100 page markups? It's perfectly ok that
BasePage only has associated markup. SectionPage only needs to add the
"abstract" components, which in case of Panel have their own associated markup.
> Multiple abstract/implement tags instead of child/extend

> Key: WICKET-1134
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-1134
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: wicket-core
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0-rc1
> Reporter: Stefan Fussenegger
> Assignee: Igor Vaynberg
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.5-M2.1

> Attachments: wicket-1134.patch, wicket-abstract-implement.patch

> The current implementation of wicket:child and wicket:extend only allows for
> a single extension per subpage. However, this restriction is neither mandated
> by java class hierarchy nor by any other reason. Therefore, it should be
> possible to extend the current implementation to support multiple 'abstract'
> sections, just like abstract methods in java classes. This could be done by
> replacing
> <wicket:child>
> <wicket:extend>
> some content
> </wicket:extend>
> </wicket:child>
> with
> <wicket:abstract id="foo">
> <wicket:implement id="foo">
> some content
> </wicket:extend>
> </wicket:child>
> (new names have been suggested in
> http://www.nabble.com/Multiple-%3Cwicket%3Achild--%3E-tags-on-a-single-base-page--tf4738673.html)
> A possible application is a layout with two columns, e.g. a header with
> navigation, a left column with sub-navigation and a right column with content
> (where the sub-navigation may change depending on the section. In deed, this
> is already possible using panels or similar means. However, it would allow to
> take advantage of markup inheritance only:
> BasePage extens WebPage:
> <div wicket:id="links>[some nav links here]</div>
> <div><wicket:abstract id="subNavigation">[left navigation goes
> here]</wicket:abstract></div>
> <div><wicket:abstract id="content">[content goes here]</wicket:abstract</div>
> SectionPage extends BasePage:
> <wicket:implement id="subNavigation">[sub navigation links
> here]</wicket:implement>
> FooPage extends SectionPage:
> <wicket:implement id="content">[content goes here]</wicket:implement>
