>Wicket Application Design

Point your colleagues to the components in wicket-core and wicket-extensions:
Is there a global .js file or many component specific ones?

*After* you've experienced performance problems, you should look into ResourceBundles.

Hope this helps

Hello,

At my current place of employment we are using wicket for quite some time
and I believe that we are comfortable with it..but this days I had a
discussion with a colleague about the javascript files that we write for our
components.We could not agree and I think that we can find the answer on
wicket forum.So here it goes:
  I believe that because wicket is a component-based web framework the
javascript code that only applies to one component should be only loaded
when that component is being used.We have a global js file where I believe
that  we can keep javascript code that can be applied in multiple places
like validation behavior for textfields.This way we also support component
portability.
  My colleague believes that we should only use the global js file and place
all our javascript code there.One argument witch i believe is true is that
one js file loads faster that multiple js files - but i think that this is
true  only when you load all the js code in that multiple files.I think that
if you only load what you need it cannot impact the page load time.
  To give you a example of our problem: We have a component that handles file
upload witch is only used in one place in the entire application. I think
that the js code that handles validation for this component should only be
used when the component is used.I see no reason the load the js code it the
entire applications if it is only used on one page.
  Any opinions are appreciated.

TL;DR: Should javascript code that is only used on one component/panel be
placed on a js file that is loaded only when component/panel is used or on a
global js file that in loaded on every page.
