How can it get messy when it's not yet possible to do in wicket? You mention 7 different panels which is > 1 and so not currently supported by wicket's current child/extends feature. Unless you mean that trying to override 7 different sections with only one child/extends feature - but now my brain hurts - the anticipated messiness my be a result of trying to implement multiple specialized sections without support for it being in wicket yet ;) (but given that many people are starting to warm to the idea you might be able to do this sooner rather than later!) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
