If I were you I would try to define something abstract at the service level and then bind these abstractions with some kind of component factory that knows how to read your abstractions. That way the same definitions could be used for swing. E.g. instead of > Component: TextField Type: simple-text| compund-text,... That way you don't bind your definition to a certain kind of component but delegate this to the factory... So, you could replace it with something different if need be. > I will keep on researching the ideas you guys have provided so far. > > Thanks again...and Happy Holidays! > You are welcome Best, Ernesto > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
