Re: Footnote-Support
Hi again, for those who might be interessted I just wanted to let you know that I now have a working footnote support implementation. The details can be found here http://sanityresort.blogspot.com/2011/09/adding-footnote-support-to-wicket.html (another chance for shameless blog advertising ;-)). Thanks to Dan for his suggestions, though I decided to stick with my initial behavior approach. Mainly because I did not want to create a component subclass but instead enable all components with a string model object to use footnotes. I'm not sure if what I did is very wickety but at least for me it works pretty well and seems rather flexibel. Here a short summary of the features: - programmatically add a footnote to a component - programmatically process the descriptions for programmatically added components - declaratively add labels with footnotes to a markup container - declaratively add label with footnote descriptions for declaratively added footnotes - declaratively add label with footnote descriptions for programmatically added footnotes - use text or images as footnotes - use separate style definitions for each footnote and description - use freely defined wrapping tags for declaratively added footnote descriptions Any kind of feedback is as always very welcome :-) Cheers, Chris The Sanity Resort http://sanityresort.blogspot.com/ Am 19.09.2011 16:41, schrieb Dan Retzlaff: I see now. Forget the behavior approach. :) How about keeping a ListString of footnotes in the page's metadata (i.e. getPage().setMetaData(FOOTNOTES))? Create (1) a Label-like component which, in its onInitialize(), adds its contents to the list and saves the new index to be rendered as the footnote annotation, and (2) a FeedbackPanel-like component which renders the footnote content as an ordered list. You may also be able to put the footnotes into the Session's feedback data as Martin suggests, but I'm not sure how the footnote annotation and footnote content would be differentiated.

Re: Footnote-Support
Well, after about two days I finally got it working ;-) I'll try to scratch together a blog post in the next days with the details :-) The Sanity Resort http://sanityresort.blogspot.com/ Am 19.09.2011 16:41, schrieb Dan Retzlaff: I see now.

Re: Footnote-Support
It sounds like a FeedbackPanel with a component filter that filters all components annotated somehow to be a footnote will do the job.
