Re: Apache FOP and Wicket
Sure, it is possible, but it is tedious and verbose compared to using
Freemarker or another scripting language. Using Wicket for this will
only add more code and complexity to the process, and it's not like you
need component based control of the markup you are creating, so Wicket
is simply overkill for this task. Wicket isn't a golden hammer, even
though it is great at what it does/is meant for :)
Remember, you have to create both the java-side and the html-side for
every variable you put in your markup, instead of just outputting ${var}
where you need it :)

Not sure. If you do, so do I :)
I have written a renderer which takes an XML containing some UI
description and either generates Swing, HTML (Wicket), PDF (FOP) or CSV
from the same UI description (but from different templates).
Although you can ask Wicket to generate the PDF, there is no direct link
between FOP and Wicket. Wicket only calls my renderer and forwards the
generated file to the user via HTTP.
The problem with having Wicket generate your FOP files will be that you
will have to write all UI elements on your own because there are no
classes/objects you can use.

Apache FOP and Wicket
Dear all, If I'm not wrong Wicket is able to manage any king of markup not just HTML. So it would be possibile to use Wicket to generate an Apache FOP markup to rendere a PDF file? Any suggestions? Thank you, -- Paolo
Re: Apache FOP and Wicket
I don't think Wicket is the right tool for that, try Freemarker instead. You can still serve up the file through Wicket though :) -- Edvin Paolo Di Tommaso skrev: Dear all, If I'm not wrong Wicket is able to manage any king of markup not just HTML.
