"<p wicket:id="message">This is replaced</p>"

public HelloWorldPage() {
   Label component = new Label("message", "Hello World!");
   add(component);
   add(new Label("wicketId", "dynamicTitle");.
}

UGH  ... Why would you want to write an app like that?  It's like a swing app, 
which is ok, except you still _have_ the template only you've moved what would 
be simple template code into their strange java api.  If that's really how you 
add the <title> to the page I'd imagine new developers will be bringing up the 
javadoc for a long time.  I've looked at the stripes java doc maybe 15 times 
over 2 years, it's so simple the wiki covers 80% in 60 minutes.
 
I might give it a try just to see how awkward it is, maybe it eventually leads 
to benefits and I am being shortsighted.  I definitely buy the 'more java code 
is good for refactoring tools' argument.  Even if you use wicket and refactor 
like crazy you still have to go over your templates by hand like stripes ... so 
at the end of the day it's probably not a huge gain.  I'd like to see a 
reasonably sized example, like the stripes calculator written in wicket.

Well to each his own, and that's one nice thing about the Java
framework world - there's something for everybody. However I looked at
Wicket and Tapestry for a while and could never figure out why anybody
would ever want to write an application that way, so I decided it must
be one of those "basic brain wiring" issues. I suppose my preferences
seem bizarre to a Wicket fan :-)
