there are two basic strategies to do this:
1) add all of them an then toggle visibility
this means you add all possible formcomponents and then override isVisible() on them or call setVisible(false). this will tell wicket not to render the portion of html associated with that component.
so instead of <c:if condition="blah"><input type="text" name="comp" value="${val}"/></c:if> in jsp you would have
add(new TextField("comp",...) {
boolean isVisible() {
return blah;
}
}
and in html <input type="text" wicket:id="comp"/>
2) swapping panels - this is usually used for bigger chunks of the page then formcomponents. a good analagy for this is the tabbed view.
when you click a tab the body of the view has to change to show a different tab's body. each tab's body can be represented as a panel so when a tab is clicked it can swap the panel in the body of the tabbed panel with the panel of its chosing.
see our TabbedPanel for example in code and in our component reference which shows a short example
hope this helps,

Hi Eelco,
Do you mean that I should create a "panel" with a link to my own servlet
that shows the dynamic content?
Thanks

You can do what is outlined here:
http://wicket-wiki.org.uk/wiki/index.php/Create_dynamic_markup_hierarchi
es_using_panels
Or - like the article says, add all visible components and use the
isVisible property (or override the method) for turning them on or
off.
Or use Fragments, which work like panels, but have their markup
definded in the same markup (HTML) file.
