Extending wicket for non webapp implementations
I'd love to use wicket as a more general template library.
My immediate problem is that I need to build email template library.
Has anyone done an extension that would allow it to process non HTML
files?

This question has been asked multiple times in the past. Check
Nabble's archives for the discussions. Folks have done it before and
yes, it works. I had the same objections as Christian before, but
folks insisted they still wanted it.

Yah, I'm digging in the source right now.
A basic email is one thing, but I was really interested in the nice
clean 1:1 relationship between resource and code along with the nice
basic components like list etc.
All you'd really need to do is extend page and create a new type,
however being what it is, its very much tied to the servlet container
and its session, which is only partly useful in the same of an
EmailPage.
After a quick check, I'm thinking that it's not the best solution
because of its dependency on the servlet spec... but still I dream.

Why don't you use a template engine like FreeMarker? I think Wickets component model doesn't work well to create E-Mails.
