wicket.markup.html.border.Border
[back to the reference]You can view Borders as kind of the opposite of Panels. You use Borders to decorate other components/ markup. This allows you to combine loosely coupled components into larger blocks. An example of this is the FormComponentFeedbackBorder components that you can put around e.g. input fields (TextField) so that when there was a validation error for that field on a form submit, the border displays its' red star marker as a hint to the user.
You can also use Borders for templating techniques much the same as you can use markup inheritance. See the library example for an example of that usage. Like Panels, you can nest arbitrairy components in a Border, including other panels and borders.
