You need to use something like Echo2 or Echo3 to write pure Java web apps with no HTML whatsoever. All the HTML and all the AJAX is completely transparent to the developer - it's more like writing a desktop app than a web app which has benefits if you come from a Java/C++ background and some disadvantages if you like having the power to hack around with HTML and Javascript code. With wicket you're still in control of the markup (HTML) which means you have to write it but it's pretty straightforward. There is support for a single section of markup to be overridden (inheritance) from a base page markup to a derived page markup which means you can perform some level of markup reusability at the page level. On some occasions I've found the need to have multiple sections in a base markup to be 'overridable' in a derived markup pages but this is not yet possible as far as I know. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
