Hi, I'm considering using Wicket (or one of the many similar
frameworks) to augment or replace a homegrown framework. The company
I work for creates many websites with similar functionality, but
completely different look and feel (we do online promotions for a
variety of clients). Historically we've done this using a system of
servlets and ejbs that are shared across all sites that we host. We
then use site-specific jsp so that we can customize the look and feel
of the website for the client. All sites are then hosted off a
single server farm using different URL paths/parameters to
distinguish the site that should be shown.
I'm trying to find a way to do something similar in Wicket or any of
the other frameworks but haven't found anything that really sounds
like what I'm looking for. Is it possible to use a single Wicket
WebPage implementation with multiple HTML/CSS/Image "skins"? Ideally
we would also be able to extend the base java WebPage to customize it
for a specific website as well.
Any points/documentation on how to do this type of thing would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Mike

yeah, its possible. try to search for custom markup loading. you can make
wicket load markup from anywhere you want, just have to install your own
IResouceStreamLocator into settings.
also search the list, there are a lot of threads on how to do this.

Re: Re:

Thanks for the quick response, that looks like what I need. One
followup question that isn't clear from that FAQ page (sorry if it is
another newbie question). From a file layout point of view would it
possible to do this sort of thing...
/sites/client1/Page1.html
/sites/client2/Page1.html
/sites/javafiles/Page1.java
in order to keep html for one site separate from html for another and
both separate from the shared java files? I saw things hinting at
ways to separate html from java, but I'm not seeing an example.
Thanks again,
-Mike
