not a lot of docs on that is there? here is what i infer - its a switch - that means you have to have all possibilities predefined and then at runtime choose which one to display. this is not dynamic because all choises are predefined. in wicket i can create any panel on the fly and swap it in for

yes that could be interesting ! To add on the subject, the binding file of WO uses what they call "KeyValueCoding" to move back and forth values in components exemple, to declare a "Label" component : myString : WOString { value = myObject.toString } or myLoginString : WOString { value = session

WO is free since about 1 year and may be about to become open source. Try it and learn what some really talented people designed more than 10 years ago. ...and if you want to ask questions about technical details - ask the people who know. WO has a very good on-line community. http://www.omnig
