Use wicket page templates not for webapplication
Can I render a page but not in web environment? E.g. I want to create
an javax.mail with html-body and want to reuse my wicket components to
generate content. So, no servlets, no sessions, no requests/responses,
no ajax - just render a page to a stream.

I would check the archives. This question has been asked/answered
many times before. I'm sure you'll find some example code.

Hi Kan,
I've been looking into this problem for some time, and I'm really
interested in your solution, if you mind sharing !
As I've seend this kind of thread popup on the mailing list every 6
months or so with no real solution to the problem at hand, maybe you
could add it to the Wiki if the core dev are OK with it ?
thx,
Antoine.

Ok, I've made it. I've created "class TemplaterApplication extends
Application" (and all related classes Request, RequestCycle, etc) and
WicketTemplater over it. It takes TemplatePage (child of wicket.Page)
implementation and writes result to given java.io.Writer. All stuff
like sessions, versioning, request parameters are disabled,
TemplatePage is always stateless.
Yes, web page is not the same as email, but very-very close. Of
course, it's nearly impossible to reuse the same WebPage, but you can
reuse some your components both on WebPage and TemplatePage. And of
course it's possible to use most standard wicket components like
wicket:border, wicket:extend, repeaters, etc...
Yet another great benefits, but I've not done it yet:
- it's possible to make auto-linking of resources. Say, if you have
<img> on your page, the generated email will have the image attached
and properly linked as "cid:" resource.
- if you have a link in email to your web-site back, it could be
properly handled and checked if it actually links to correct Page.
If somebody find it interesting, I can to share my code and actually
it's possible to make "html templater" and "html email generator" as
yet another library.

Kan, please put in your findings in a page on the wiki (maybe under
faq). Seems it's something people do once in a while..
I did something similar once, but realized somewhere in the process that
it werent exactly the same content writing a mail as the web page. I
used the wicket text templates heavy instead.
