for what it is worth i will be creating a cms in the near future using wicket. my idea is simple. the cms is a single wicket page. the users have a special tag they use to define dynamic components like <cms:component type=foo param1=param2/>. the page itself has a single repeater, prior to rendering it takes the markup and splits it into chunks of static and component definitions. for a static piece the repeater gets a label, for a component definition the repeater gets a new component instantiated. no need for getvariation/java classes per page/ and all that funky stuff that is made for regular applications.
