Customizing the Viewer

The Wicket viewer allows you to customize the GUI in 3 ways:

• first and most straight-forwardly, you can change the styling using CSS
• second, you can write your own views using the Apache Wicket Component API.

  These views will typically be to render a specific entity, a particular property/parameter type, or a collection of entities. Examples include:

  • google maps v3 integration
  • wicked charts integration
  • full calendar integration

  Wicket itself has lots of components available at its wicketstuff.org companion website. These could also be used as the basis for customizations.

• third, you can register your own pages for a particular object type. This allows you to render certain objects (eg a Dashboard object) using a completely customized web page if required.
