Yep. ListView or Repeaters. Feed it a list of objects that are translated from the XML model. And you really should have object counter parts of those XML elements. > how could groups be handled You can make group panels as well. Basically, create a panel for each dynamic entity that matters in the context of the UI. > - how would the content in a recursion be updatable. As long as your form components are nested in a form, Wicket will take care of the updating. So, it doesn't matter how deep the recursion goes. For a very simple example of recursion with Wicket, see the 'nested' example of wicket-examples. i'm quite lost in such a complex scenario with wicket. i > guess i've been in the wrong programming model for quite a while... ;-) Something like this would make a very nice (and needed) example actually. If someone is up to it, it would be great to have the basis for such an example, so everything except for the actual Wicket code in a simple fashion without introducing extra dependencies. We'll be happy to contribute the Wicket code then. Eelco ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
