Bruno Borges commented on WICKET-3813:
--------------------------------------

[~david.phillips] I liked the way you improved this. If Wicket wants to compete on the mobile world of web frameworks, this is a top feature that really should be take in consideration for future releases.

> Wicket does a great job at locating resources based on variation, style and location. The current way of locating HTML resources is done by the following schema:
>    Page[_variation][_style][_locale].extension
> where:
> * variation is per Component
> * style and locale are per Session
> The feature proposed here is to add another section, separated by a single dot, to be used specifically for HTML files:
>    Page[_variation][_style][_locale][.device].extension
> The use case that requires this is one where an user's device is identified as an Android phone and so one could set Session.get().setDevice("android"); 
> Inside ResourceStreamLocator, the current algorithm can just add that as an array of extensions to iterate.
> Consider the HomePage: 
> - HomePage.html
> - HomePage.m.html
> - HomePage.android.html
> For the Android user, HomePage will render HomePage.android.html file.
> A desktop user will render HomePage.html because Session.get().isStandardDevice(); will return true
> To support an iPhone user, one could set Session.get().setFallbackDevice("m"); and so, will render HomePage.m.html which could be a simplier version for other phones but Android.
> I've attached an example of DeviceStreamLocator
