Igor has already given a reply which is probably the best way to do it in
wicket. I agree it is much simpler solution to what I was thinking.
The reason I fell in love, and still am, with wicket was the ability to
separate html and java.
So i do not want to be generating html from inside java aka raw servlet
programming.
However if you still need to be able to support dynamic components (which will
be
created by the user), here is what I was thinking:
Say I have a model called Customer { firstName, lastName, emailAddress}
which I am able to get a reference of in my page/panel/component.
Now if I am giving a user to determine the way he wants to display the
information of this customer, she could choose many ways.
Two for example would be:
View-1
Name: lastName, firstName
Contact: emailAddress
View-2
<a href="mailto:emailAddress";>firstName</a>
Now what I was suggesting is allow the user to input her html in,
some manner and store meta information of the hierarchy of java
contents, database could be a contender. The I could have a mechanism in
the java code to understand this meta info and add components appropriately
in the java class.
I agree this could be a complicated way of doing things, but I am only stating
what I was thinking.

Do you mean that I could inspect the pages at runtime and store all
custom
tag as a metadata? This is interesting, but since that pages have not a
bound Java class, how could I manage these?
Sorry if these questions seem silly to you Wicket users :blush:
