This case may not relate specific to Wicket, but for all desktop application that would like to be fully moved to server. I am evaluating to use Wicket on a new Java Project. The project will have specific requirements to print data on form (or book) that already have fields in it. I have to print to very detailed position on them. So, I think I can not rely on creating PDF using Jasper, and then force user to print them. I propose the following solution : 1.
