Data Table Component in Wicket

Wicket provides a Data Table component that can be easily reused to create data tables.

• Use the class AjaxFallbackDefaultDataTable
• Define the columns by creating them one-by-one and adding them to the Data Table
• This can be an AbstractColumn where you provide the component to use inside the cell
• Or a PropertyColumn where the cell shows data bound to a model
• Also provide a database provider implementing SortableDataProvider
• Within the provider, implement iterator, size, and model methods
• The table can be styled via CSS that you provide

Example code can be found in Wicket Examples
