RE: [Wicket-user] SiteMesh and Wicket are compatible?

[Scott T weaver]

Hmm, I don’t think I can agree with that.  SiteMesh, AFAIK, can aggregate from whole host of markup sources to produce a “finished product”.  I don’t see how that can be accomplished in the example you presented or with Wicket in general, not with out a lot of work that is.    This is the main reason I stopped trying to use Wicket to produce portal layouts.  It is more effort than it is worth to try and get a single component/page merge arbitrary markup.  The whole “one markup source per component” tends to break down very quickly in this type of setting and is, IMOHO, a short-coming of most of component-based web frameworks that are popping up.  That last thing I want to do is require my layout and decoration designers to create new component classes for each layout they come up with.   Don’t get me wrong; Wicket is wonderful for straight-forward application development.  However I feel it lacks the flexibility to work well as a generalized, light-weight layout engine.  Not everything is a nail ya’ know ;-)   If any of the Wicket gurus out there feel I have misspoken, please let me know as I would still love to replace Jetspeed 2’s existing layout/decoration mechanism with Wicket.    Regards, Scott T.
