Hi, A beginners question, what is the difference between a Panel and a border component? I tried to use them both and I couldn't tell the difference between the two.
I found this description on wicket-wiki: |The Panel component is a component that groups together a collection of other components and have an |associated markup. It is the basic building block for reusable site elements. |The Border component provides a way of wrapping a set of markup around a markup container. Typically the most |common use to to provide a common site template (e.g. header, footer, menu etc.) that gets wrapped around |individual content pages. The result being that top level site layout only needs to be maintained in one |markup file. However, the Border component is much more powerful than this simple use case as it can be used |to achieve exactly the same functionality for individual elements on a page. Ok, so they both are containers for other components and they can have markup. They say the difference is that the Border component is more powerful..... so why does a Panel even exist then? I am confused.
