I'd need to look at Tailer to see how it operates. But here is how I'd try it (it is quick and I don't like the markup, but we'll optimize it later:
Create a panel that looks like so (we'll call it LoggingPanel): <wicket:panel> <div wicket:id="logData">log contents</div> <div wicket:id="nextLog">next log call</div> </wicket:panel> Add a self updating timer behavior so the panel check the Tailer for output, if there is data, then update the logData label with it, make the nextLog component be another LoggingPanel with a SelfUpdatingTImerBehavior, and stop the timerbehavior on the current panel. Drawbacks are: the divs keep getting nested, so the markup isn't the most beautiful, so setRenderBodyOnly(true) might make it nicer. -Clint On Sun, Nov 20, 2011 at 9:27 PM, James <james.eliye...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Steve.
