direct children of a repeater inherit the markup, so you can do
something like this:
<a wicket:id="repeater"><span wicket:id="label"/></a>
repeatingview repeater=new repeatingview("repeater");
for (int i=0;i<10;i++) {
Link link=new Link(repeater.newchildid()) { };
repeater.add(link);
link.add(new label("label", ""+i));
}
this works fine when a repeater only contains one direct child per
iteration - the link we added does not have "siblings"
but now lets say inside repeater you want two siblings
<div wicket:id="repeater"><span wicket:id="label"/><input
wicket:id="textfield" type="text"/></div>
so each item has two siblings - a label and a textfield. so what do we
add to a repeater? it has to be something that can be attached to a
div tag, has no behavior, yet can contain any number of components -
best thing that fits is a WebMarkupContainer.
so our code is like this:
repeatingview repeater=new repeatingview("repeater");
for (int i=0;i<10;i++) {
webmarkupcontainer container=new webmarkupcontainer(repeater.newchildid());
repeater.add(item);
item.add(new label("label", "text field "+i));
item.add(new textfield("textfield"));
}
hope this helps...
