the basic answer is that wicket traverses the component graph and calls various render methods on the components, which then output the markup. > And > what is the model's role there. i assume you are referring to component.get/setmodel(). this is a default model slot that all components have. its use varies per component. for example label uses the default model slot to get the string it will replace its body with. listview uses it to retrieve a list of items it will use to populate itself. link doesnt use it at all - allowing the user to put their own model into it which is then easy to retrieve inside the onclick event. as your questions get more specific so will the answers :) I have been reading and re-reading the > getting started manual, unfortunately it is an extremely incomplete > document, so it is of a very limited use, although I appreciate the > intention. we depend on our users to make it better.
