The problem with this approach is that you're not able to localize the
title if you hard-code it.  What I've done is actually specify a key
for my messages file and I use that.  So, every page has to define its
page.title key in its PageClass.properties file.

That's what I do it too. :-) In applications that are localized I change the

add(new Label("title", title))

with

add(new Label("title", new StringResourceModel(titleKey, this, new CompoundPropertyModel(this)));

This has the added benefit that you can do nice property substitutions, that is, if the titleKey resolves to "Profile for ${session.userName}" then you'll get a nice title "Profile for Sebastiaan" dynamically. :-) I don't use a static key though (like page.title) because my keys come from the database and I have little web page with a tree view where you can edit the key values. :-)

Regards,
Sebastiaan
