Re: Help on wizard solution...
Or have the complete definition on the database and use a factory approach
to generate the steps and the content of the steps... That way you don't to
hide/show anything but generate what you want, e.g. using repeaters, out of
some predefined "wizard defining grammar"...

Re: Help on wizard solution...
Hi
Well, if you know of all the steps but there's only some small
difference (like you said, Step 6 might be D or F), you might also
consider a normal Wizard, but use the conditional step functionality.
That way you would add ALL pages, but hide those that are not relevant.
Hiding can also be done dynamically, for example if on the first step,
option A is selected, step 6 is visible, else not.
This is done in each step by overriding the evaluate() method. If it
returns true, the step is displayed, if false, not.

My rule of thumb is "If you can gather all of the content together for
your wizard use a regular wizard (eg: non-dependent configuration
directives), if future wizard steps can change based on a specific
wizard step then use a DynamicWizard (eg: If you pick A on Step 5 then
Step 6 shows D, otherwise Step 6 shows F"
I have found that controlling backwards and forwards navigation in a
dynamic wizard very difficult since you are responsible for all of the
logic.

Hi,

In my web-app i have some cases, and each cases have several questions.
And i want the user to flow between the pages in a wizard manner like
the

http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples/wizard/
The only problem i have is that all the questions are database driven,
and
is not a fixed set of pages.
But the wizard example is in the link is fixed.
How would i make a dynamic database driven wizard, where the content of
the
wizard pages are database driven?
Or is the wizard approach not the right way of doing it...?
What i want to achieve is a user browsing through several question in
case,
with the option of moving backwards between the question.
Any input from anyone ...?

Re: Help on wizard solution...
I think the wizard is the correct approach... You can try use
DynamicWizardModel on your wizard.
javadoc:
* Wizard model that is specialized on dynamic wizards. Unlike the default,
static
* {...@link WizardModel wizard model}, this model isn't very intelligent, but
rather delegates much
* of the work and knowledge to the {...@link IDynamicWizardStep dynamic wizard
steps} it uses.
on IDynamicWizardStep you can implement the ordering and navegation rules
based on database and page params.

Re: Help on wizard solution...
I think the comments on this article by Igor may give you some ideas (see #14) http://wicketinaction.com/2008/09/building-a-smart-entitymodel/ So having a single page, and swapping out multiple panels for each question may be the solution. You can write logic for the "previous" and "next" buttons (or links) to swap in the right panel.

Help on wizard solution...
Hi, I could use some input on how to solve a problem i have. In my web-app i have some cases, and each cases have several questions. And i want the user to flow between the pages in a wizard manner like the example in: http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples/wizard/ The only problem i have is that all the questions are database driven, and is not a fixed set of pages. But the wizard example is in the link is fixed. How would i make a dynamic database driven wizard, where the content of the wizard pages are database driven? Or is the wizard approach not the right way of doing it...? What i want to achieve is a user browsing through several question in case, with the option of moving backwards between the question. Any input from anyone ...? Best Regards Muro
