Apache Wickets biggest strength is its focus on  components  - Among a very large set of components is PagingNavigator component. It is a Wicket Panel component to draw and maintain a complete page navigation. I found this component very useful but the only problem that compelled me to write my own CustomPagingNavigator is the wicket URLs that are being created by clicking the page links.  The Java Part... public class CustomPaginationLinksPanel<T> extends Panel{   private static final long serialVersionUID = 10002L;   /** Pageable List View to be displayed  */   private PageableListView<T> mainView ;   /** Max count of links  default  value = 5 */   private int linksPerPage = 5;   /**  Page Number currently visible */   private int    currPgNum ;     /** first page number */   private int firstNum ;   /** last page number */   private int lastNum ;   //Calculated on the basic of List size   private int maxPages ;

Problem Statement:  How can we  sort a List containing Object[] elements? The Solution: Ever wondered how to sort a list full of Object[]? The answer is to use a Comparator I have used an anonymous class which implements compare method to sort the List of Object[] package  example.collections; import  java.util.ArrayList; import  java.util.Collections; import  java.util.Comparator; import  java.util.List; public   class  Sorting {         public   static   void  main(String[] args) {               List<Object[]> list =  new  ArrayList<Object[]>();                             list.add( new  Object[]{123,  "abc" , 212});               list.add( new  Object[]{423,  "qwert" , 2131});               list.add( new  Object[]{656,  "asda" , 45});               list.add( new  Object[]{111,  "zxcz" , 43});               list.add( new  Object[]{10,  "poiu" , 890});               Collect
