I've created three subclasses of FormComponentPanel, e.g.
TextFormComponentPanel, CheckBoxFormComponentPanel and
DropDownChoiceFormComponentPanel. They all share some markup logic in that
they all have an enclosing <label> and a <span> for the text to use as label.
However each class has its own markup file, because each one needs a different
<input type="..."> or <select> instead. Here is for example
TextFormComponentPanel markup:
<wicket:panel>
<label for="input" wicket:id="inputLabel"><span
wicket:id="inputSpan">[label text]</span>
<input wicket:id="input" id="input" type="text" size="50" /></label>
</wicket:panel>
Then I created a FormComponentPanel derived class that uses a
RepeatingView, and expects its derived classes to fill in the RepeatingView
with instances of the three classes above. Those derived classes are the
detail forms corresponding to my domain model beans.
The problem is that TextFormComponentPanel, CheckBoxFormComponentPanel and
DropDownChoiceFormComponentPanel html markup have fixed IDs for the input tags
(I mean html id attributes, the ones referenced by <label for="input"). That's
the recipe for a mess, because I end up with multiple html elements that have
the same html id.
I googled around and found AutoLabelResolver and AutoLabelTextResolver. I
suspect those classes could help me, because they generate dynamic html IDs,
but I failed to find an example that shows me how to use them. While it's clear
to me how the markup should look, I can't get the java side.
Any help?
