Thank you to all those who contributed. I think may be I will end up
with WML components if I do work on it.
For now, for the quick prototype/demo, I will be using wurfl and wall
(http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/java/wall.php and
http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/java/tutorial.php)
Will be monitoring
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WICKET/Mobile+Devices for
more information.
Also found this useful http://www.passani.it/gap/
Thank you again for all the information. Will use Wicket on a more
'standard' web application for now.

hey Ashish,
i did some research in this field long time back; unfortunately i failed
and i gave up at one point but at least i can share my experience.
here are few key points as far as i can see them:
- first of all you'll deal with 3 versions of markup: WML1.0, XHTML-MP, HTML
- figure out what are your target devices from the very beginning, if
the site needs to work on all mobile devices out there then good luck buddy.
- you need a very well designed site design, designer needs to keep in
mind that same content will be rendered in 3 formats, for devices with
very very very different capabilities.
- the component hierarchy in all 3 markups has to match, but in WML1.0
will display only 10% of all components so there will be a isVisible vs.
isNotVisible playing game. well, you can implement your own
rendering/resolving strategies to achieve that.
- some wicket components are very rich in terms of
markup/javascript/css, you have to implement your own WML components
where it is needed, as i said it is very important to have a simple and
WML/HTML friendly web design.
- and last one, even everything is perfect and works fine there is
mobile device browsers war. if you can make site to look good in
IE/FF/Opera; you'll find out that mobile's browsers are real nightmare;
they are so many types with very different capabilities and behaviors;
tables are not supported by this specific version, even they say it is,
text is not wrapped properly, all kind of resolutions issues ad so on.
if you have time and resources to do it it will be great asset for
wicket community and open source community in general. i can say that i
couldnt find a good and reliable WML/HTML framework out there. except
WURLF that is jsp based and is quite acceptable (but who uses
jsp/taglibraries/scriplets these days) and a give it a try and not
supported anymore renderkit from myface jsf framework, there is
nothing, really nothing.

Hi All,
I am currently looking at Wicket and going over the examples. I am
interested in developing mobile friendly websites. Any one has any
experience they can share or point me to place where I can get more
information.
I would like to serve different 'versions' of the page based on the
capabilities of the mobile phone browser. In the demo, the HTML file is
named same as the Java class. Can I have different 'version' of HTML
file based on the mobile capability? Would this be similar to
internationalisation? How does one do internationalisation with Wicket?
I am planning to use http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/
http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/ to find the
capability of the mobile browser.
Thank you for any hints, suggestions or pointers.
