Dynamic page display based on a configuration in Wicket

[Vasu Srinivasan <va...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am familiar with wicket concepts and have done some basic stuff with it. I
am currently working on a PoC, but not sure how to get this around in
Wicket. In Wicket, the html and java are directly tied between each other.
However I would like to have an external configuration (json or xml) that
would contain the elements of a page (name, age, address etc fields), and
use that configuration to build out the html and tie it to a generic java
class (based on BasePage class). Is this possible in Wicket?

Or as an alternative, I can keep my generic java class, but instead of
having json/xml I could work directly with multiple htmls - that could be
handled by this generic class which delegates to other classes to handle the
page request. I know its slightly different from Wicket approach, but im
trying to see if this is a possibility.

To give an example --

Page1.html (contains name, age, address fields)
Page2.html (contains name, school education details)

Both of them should be handled by a single java file (which may be allowed
to have all of those fields). In effect the htmls may have only a subset of
fields that the page should handle/validate only those that are present in
the html.

thanks for any pointers

Vasya

If you need inspiration, you can check out the Wicketopia project.  It
dynamically builds forms for beans, but you could easily adapt the
logic to figure out which fields to display from a different source.
