Nesting "RepeatingView" components: "Possible attempt to embed
component(s)" error
Hello,
I want to add menus (as in a menu bar with drop-down menus) on my pages.
In order to achieve that, I must use a nested RepeatingView (see further
down for the explanation). What I need (and don't know how to do) is to be
able to have markup like this:
<ul class="web-menu">
<li wicket:id="menuBarChoices">
<ul>
<li wicket:id="menuBarChoiceItems"></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
In my code, I would use RepeatingView to generate a number of list-items
(menuBarChoices) which would be rendered as a menu bar. In addition I
would need to create a NESTED RepeatingView per each of the
"menuBarChoices", to generate a number of list-items (menuBarChoiceItems).
These would be rendered as a drop-down menu when the user hovers over the
respective menu bar choice.
I tried to do that, but Wicket catches my attempt to nest the
RepeatingView components and politely explains that the "outer" component
"discard" its content, therefore the nested "embedded" component can no
longer be used for dynamic content. The message is as follows:
"Last cause: Expected close tag for '<li wicket:id="menuBarChoices">'
Possible attempt to embed component(s) '<li
wicket:id="menuBarChoiceItems">' in the body of this component which
discards its body."
Ultimately, I need Wicket to produce something like this:
<ul class="web-menu">
<li>
Menu1
<ul>
<li>Menu Subitem 1</li>
<li>Menu Subitem 2</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Menu2
<ul>
<li>Menu Subitem 1</li>
<li>Menu Subitem 2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
How do I go about doing that?

Hi,
I actually managed to get around this by creating a component called
DropDownMenu with the following HTML:
<html xmlns:wicket>
<body>
<wicket:panel>
<span wicket:id="menu"></span>
<ul>
<li wicket:id="menuChoices"></li>
</ul>
</wicket:panel>
</body>
</html>
The DropDownMenu.java code creates a repeating view (the nested one) and
adds the "menuChoices".
Then, I simply add instances of "new DropDownMenu(...)" to the "outer"
RepeatingView which I've also converted into a separate "MenuBar"
component.

Check out the YUI menu support in wicketstuff. It works great for us.
