Re: Wicket as a templating engine

2012-02-18 Thread pkc 
Interesting.  I may try to make a generic wicket:insert=quot;abc.xyzquot;
tag that uses the page's default property model to resolve the abc.xyz.
Will this work?  

Two other cool things I'm looking for:

1) Does wicket:extend support a codeBehind attribute?  Say I have 20
stateless pages and I want them all to extend one BasePage and then use my
wicket:insert tag for the fairly simple dynamic stuff.

2) To avoid tag soup, I don't want things like if statements or loops in
the templates.  However, I would like to have wicket:insert support
property model values that resolve to collections.  So can someone suggest a
way to use repeaters in a generic way?  Something like this:
  wicket:insert=quot;addressListquot; item=quot;addressquot;
wicket:insert=quot;address.firstNamequot;/br/
  /wicket:insert

If I can get this much working, I can wicket for the entire site!

Wicket as a templating engine

2012-02-17 Thread pkc 
I'm using wicket page inheritance to take care of consistent look and feel
for pages but I'm stuck on one detail...

In the markup for a WebPage,  I need to insert dynamic text in lots of
places.  What is the closest wicket has to something like this:

htmlbodyadd text here wicket:call=quot;theThingquot;, and also here
wicket:call=quot;theThingquot;, and in a few other places
too./body/html

class ExamplePage extends WebPage{
  String xyz;
...
  public String getTheThing(){ return xyz + new Date().toString(); }
}

I was thinking adding a label and turning off the tags, or maybe use
wicket:message somehow?  I am looking for a concise way to do it.

write your own tag handler. use wicket:message as a template. see
WicketMessageResolver and WicketMessageTagHandler
