Custom Content
I'm attempting to load the markup for a page based on values that are
available when the page is constructed. For example, I want to be able to
pass a parameter into a page and then lookup the name of the content file in
my database based on this parameter and then have the page load and display
the appropriate content.
I've tried looking at the custom resource loading example in the examples
package but that seems to work by loading content based on the class name
and I didn't see a way to extend it.
I've tried overwriting the newMarkupResourceStream method, but it seems to
be called before the constructor is called as well as before the session is
available.
Any suggestions?

What is the "content file" you want to display? Is it just HTML? If so,
try:
String html = myBusinessMethodToGetContent(someParam);
add( new Label("customContent",html).setEscapeModelStrings(false) );

Okay, I think i figured it out. Using AbstractResourceStream which gets
content based on the ids.
Thank you.

Thanks. I see, so if I were to return a random value with getVariation,
that would effectively defeat reusing the complied version.
Could you give me more details on markupresourcestreamprovider I couldn't
find anything like that in the api, what should I extend / implement and how
do I use it?

not as far as i know, this is why we added IMarkupCacheKeyProvider
what you can do is use your own markupresourcestreamprovider, but use it in
conjunection with getvariation(). so when you pull out that database id
return it from getvariation() and that way you will get one call to your
markupresourcestreamprovider for every database id instead of just a single
one.

Igor,
I was afraid you were going to say that, we are still on 1.2.5 and I think
those are 1.3 features :(. We aren't planning to upgrade until it's
released.
Can you think of any alternatives? I've divided the entry page and the form
page into two separate pages, the first page figures out which html file to
use, stores it in a static hastable somewhere else, using the sessionid as
the key and forwards to the page that loads the HTML file. ( I know thats
very unwickety, not to mention hacky). I then load the value out of the
hashtable in newMarkupResourceStream and that works. Only issue is that
newMarkupResourceStream is only called on the first time the page loads when
it's compiled with the HTML i suppose. Is there any way to prevent that for
one class / page?

see IMarkupResourceStreamProvider and IMarkupCacheKeyProvider. make that
page implement both and suck the markup in from the db.

Will that work if the content includes a form?
I would like to be able to have a page which includes a form but have a
couple of different versions of the HTML and be able to select the one I
want based on the param...
In otherwords the HTML will contain form elements with wicket:id attributes
which I want to be associated with elements I've added in the form class.
The reason is I want to have radically different layouts for a page/form
which I don't want to have to update any java code to enable, only add the
new HTML file and update my database.
Swapping in different style sheets which would seem to make the most sense
isn't going to work in this case..
