Ok so I've gone over the tutorials for AJAX and wicket
(http://wicket-stuff.sourceforge.net/wicket-contrib-dojo/Tutorials.html),
but I still don't get it.  The problem with the tutorials is there is
no ajax!  I don't see any code for using XMLHttpRequest or Dojo.  More
importantly there isn't any javascript!  The tutorials are really
showing us how to use the components that are already written.  It
doesn't give any information how those components were created or how
to create my own.

I'm sure that's by design since wicket hides all of that stuff for us
so we just program java components.  So yes wicket is cool and I get
that, but it doesn't help me much when I want to do something other
than  one of the components in the tutorial.  I really like the end
result which is no need to work with javascript directly, but that' s
only if you're doing something that's already been done before and you
can reuse a componenet.

So I want to write my own AJAX component, but I don't understand
anything about wicket's URL scheme or how I would attach behavior on
the backend to javascript on the front end.  If I want to write some
java script on the front end how will it work with the backend?  Can
someone explain how some of those components those tutorials are
working?  Say I want to write my own version of Tooltip or
FXValidationAjaxHandler.

Thanks in advance
Charlie
