How to add links in wickets - wicket

Question

In java class i need to add list (E.g. list.getFirstName()) to the Label in wicket and that first name shoulb be a hyper link in the html. Below i have code of java and html
the html code
<tr >
<a wicket:id="gotoClass">
<span wicket:id="firstname"></span>
</a>
</tr>
the java class
Iterator<String> brds = list.iterator();
RepeatingView repeating = new RepeatingView("repeating");
add(repeating);
while (brds.hasNext())
{
AbstractItem item = new AbstractItem(repeating.newChildId());
repeating.add(item);
String contact = brds.next();
item.add(new Label("firstname", contact));
}
The above code works for me and i am able to add the label i.e if i have 10 first names in the list i am able to add 10 labels in html.But i try to add the anchor tag in html and
form.add(new BookmarkablePageLink<String>("firstname", gotoClass.class)); in java
then i get the below exception
Last cause: Unable to find component with id 'firstname' in [ [Component id = formname]]
Expected: 'formname.firstname'.
Found with similar names: ''
can anybody help me on this

The link element must be son of the repeating element (as you did firstly). For example:
//...
BookmarkablePageLink<String> link = new BookmarkablePageLink<String>("firstname", gotoClass.class);
item.add(link);
link.add(new Label("firstname", contact));
