Wicket mostly does this.

There is support for links, but mostly on a basic level. As with everything, if Wicket doesn't do what you want it to "out of the box", you can create your own components or customise the framework. I suggest you actually try it out or check out the examples. Perhaps others have better answers than the above. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
