This might be asking a lot but...

A list like this would be great on the Wicket features page with links
to the cdapp page source that demonstrates each of these things.  For
example, I wasn't aware that Wicket yet supported a pagable list model
that only loads data as needed and it would be very helpful not to have
to get cdapp running in order to find out where that is used or how that
is implemented.

I think having a prominent (easily found) index of where to find
complex examples like this would entice more people to try Wicket on
their own complex needs.

Just thinking of ways to "lower the bar" and entice more people into
jumping into Wicket.

I saw this question (where did cdapp go) on one of the lists recently.

Cdapp was moved to wicket-stuff (http://wicket-stuff.sourceforge.net/)

as part of the examples subproject. Unfortunately, I haven't had the 
time to make a decent distrubution, so you won't find it in the file 
section. The CVS version works fine however. We (Martijn and I) will
try 
to get a decent build for all of the wicket-stuff projects this
weekend.

I think cdapp is a nice example to look at, as it is much more
elaborate 
than the core examples (except for the display tag example). There's a

bunch of trick's/ patterns in it you might find interesting to take a 
look at:

    * persistency using Hibernate
    * cooperation between search form, results label and results list
view
    * pageable ListView with navigation
    * pageable list that only loads what is actually needed while
acting
      as a real list
    * custom WebRequestCycle that sets up a Hibernate session for each
      request
    * base page that provides the business layer objects (CdDao) so
that
      these objects can be constructed in an IoC like manner (CdDao
      doesn't have to know anything about the wicket/ the world and
has
      its hibernate session provided).
    * Links attached to non-anchor (<a href...>) elements
    * clickable headers that sort the current results alternately
    * navigation from search to details and back again
    * reuse of edit page for new and existing persistent objects
    * uploading of images
    * automated thumbnail creation for display using
ThumbnailImageResource
    * sized-to-fit popup that shows actual image and that closes on
click
    * display of packaged image (questionmark.gif) when no image is
coupled
    * (not really wicket related) automatic database creation using
      Hibernate

Eelco
