What is the preferred way to do site templates and themes with Wicket?

Question

I'm just learning Wicket, and Googling yields different results about how to theme/template a site using Wicket. It appears that the common methods are:

• Markup Inheritance (description)
• Borders (description)
• Reusable Panels (description)
• Fragments (description)

What is the best practices / "right" way to do this in Wicket? Or do these different methods each have specific kinds of uses?

Answer 1

Have a look at wicket localizer. I think "styles" is what you are looking for.

So if you have only one locale and you want to make "styles" for the Home page, you create:

• Home.html
• Home_style1.html
• Home_styleanother.html

Wicket styles are also applicable to the strings and others resources.

See Localization and Skinning of Applications.
