There is Mail template example at
http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples-6.0.x/mailtemplate/?0 since
some time.

You can also use a VelocityPanel in Wicket to render to HTML or plain text
or XML or whatever your velocity template feels like :)

Re: Component to String

Yes it is the real issue when displaying HTML in emails. However, using
Wicket's builtin templating engine is great to generate these HTML mails ;)

Re: Component to String

[Nick Pratt]

The real issue here is that most Email clients render HTML really badly, or
dont render it at all (or their implementations of such rendering is just
wrong).

Even modern email clients, like the latest Outlook or GMail dont render
significant portions of HTML/CSS correctly, and you will likely have to
resort to  layout to get anything even remotely like what you're
after.

Hi,
I recently needed to do this, I come with a simple solution (quickly
deprecated by our main application architecture however). I blogged about
it here
http://www.bloggure.info/work/java-work/use-wicket-templating-system-to-generate-html.html

I hope it will help you, I don't know if it works well with Wicket 6
(written for 1.5).

Component to String

[Steve Lowery]

I found several threads on the user list about converting a Component into
a String.  There are at least 2 very valid use cases where doing this makes
sense:

1.  You are trying to create an html email to send out to your customers.
 Building that content out with wicket is a great way to do it.  We are
able to harness Wicket's awesome i18n capabilities to generate the content.
 Otherwise, we resort to ResourceBundles or having to introduce some other
templating library.

2.  Many Javascript APIs/JQuery Plugins (i.e. growl notifications,
popovers, etc) want the html content passed in.  Again, ideally the
component is written in wicket.

The threads I've seen have asked for potential ways to do this, but I'm
wondering if this is a utility that should be included within Wicket
itself.  What do you think?

If you think this type of utility does not belong in the framework and
should be implemented by the users instead, can you provide a wicket 6 way
of accomplishing this?

Thanks.
