Hi!

In what way?

Normally you have a panel like this:

<html>
<button wicket:id="button"/>
</html>
class Panel {
  add(new Button("button"));
}

You cannot change the panel content flexibly at runtime.

Now if you have a MashupContainer you can do:

mashupContainer.add(new Button());
mashupContainer.add(new Panel());
if (privileged) {
  mashupContainer.add(new GoogleMap());
  mashupContainer.add(new FacebookWidet());
}

Also you can add new components at runtime via ajax just by saying:
  mashupContainer.add(new PanelAtRuntime());
  ajaxRequestTarget.addComponent(mashupContainer);

So you can do pretty much anything with it without having to modify
HTML at the same time.

Hi!

One more benefit for MashupWebPage is that you can use it for creating tests:

public void testSomeFieldComponent() {
   Page page = new MashupWebPage();
   Form form;
   page.add(form = new MashUpForm(GID));
   FormComponent customField;
   form.add(customField = new CustomFieldToBeTested(GID));
   tester.startPage(page);
   FormTester formtester = tester.newFormTester(form.getPageRelativePath());
   formtester.setValue(getRelativePath(form, customField), "test-value");
   formtester.submit();
   tester.assertNoErrorMessages();
}

No need to hassle to build a dummy page with boring html markup to
test a formcomponent.

Ofcourse this is just a simple example and more versatile examples can be made.
