| A common task for web applications is to display a set of items. The most typical scenario where we need such kind of visualization is when we have to display some kind of search result. With the old template-based technologies (like JSP) we used to accomplish this task using classic for or while loops: |
| |
| [source,html] |
| ---- |
| <html> |
| <head> |
| <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> |
| <title>Insert title here</title> |
| </head> |
| <body> |
| <% |
| for(int i = 12; i<=32; i++) { |
| %> |
| <div>Hello! I'm index n°<%= %></div> |
| <% |
| } |
| %> |
| </body> |
| ---- |
| |
| To ease this task Wicket provides a number of special-purpose components called repeaters which are designed to use their related markup to display the items of a given set in a more natural and less chaotic way. |
| |
| In this chapter we will see some of the built-in repeaters that come with Wicket. |
