If you have markup like this: <div wicket:id="c"></div> You can put any panel (named "c") in using the add-method and later switch it to any panel (named "c") using the replace-method. You could create lots of tiny reusable panels and compose them into various structures. In my mind, Wicket is just as flexible as desktop programming because markup is limiting only where you want it to be limiting. When a panel needs lots of flexibility it tends to be small and when it doesn't it tends to be large.

Just wonder about subj (theoretical interest). On onehand, stateful component model has no architectural limitations on itsown preventing me from reattaching component to different parent, justlike I can do with desktop applications or with any self-contained treestructure. On another hand, Wicket's component tree structure is boundto hard-coded markup, making such change-of-parent impossible.Is thereany opportunity to do this? (No matter how sophisticated.)The reason for my interest is that I'm collecting ideas for statelesscomponents support in my web framework. Stateless component hierarchywould likely be immutable (hard-coded into application logic rather thanstate) which looks like a significant limitation at first sight,compared to "do-anything-you-want" desktop programming. But I don't yethave much experience with web component frameworks and don't know isthis limitation really annoying or not. For now it seems to me thatWicket has this lim itation too but does not suffer a lot from it. Am Iright?Thanks.-- Cheers,dimgel---------------------------------------------------------------------To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.orgfor additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
