In which app.xml file is it in? An XML properties file? Or in some Spring (etc) config file?
String loading from Wicket's built in resources framework is quite robust. If you have a .properties file (or .xml properties file if you choose - certain languages require this format because of encoding) named the same as your application (MyApp.java = MyApp.properties or MyApp.xml), then you can use string loading just like if it were MyComponent.java and MyComponent.properties. This is well documented in Wicket in Action, which leads me to believe that you are talking rather about some app.xml Spring config. In which case, you'll probably need to add a resource locator in your application's init method to locate resources in custom locations. -- Jeremy Thomerson http://www.wickettraining.com On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 12:30 PM, Seven Corners <shel...@blackwave.tv>wrote: > > Thank you for giving such an explicit answer, Steve.
