With proper mark-up/logic separation, a POJO data model, and a refreshing lack of XML, Apache Wicket makes developing web-apps simple and enjoyable again. Swap the boilerplate, complex debugging and brittle code for powerful, reusable components written with plain Java and HTML.

Wicket review

  by singhatulkr

Wicket is a component based web application framework which lets java developers think of web applications in terms of components which can designed upon object oriented principles.
A few points worth mentioning::
1.The html markup (& looks) remains intact in the html, without any scripting,special tags or code mix up & leaves room for ui designers to work independently.
2.Sessions are managed by the framework.
3.Above point does ... [More] not make it session heavy as the concept of Models is simple and sound, letting them be detached from session & attached to session.
4.Ajax support with ajax components
5.Writing new components is a breeze.
6.Community & mailing lists are just great

"If you are a java developer, try to get the hang of wicket...And you might not want to return back to any other thing you were using for web front-end development.....theres a lot of hype on a lot of stuff out there for the job.Wicket experience is so solid that you will quit re-visiting it " [Less]

    Missing Maurice…

    Today would have marked Maurice’s birthday, if it weren’t for that unfortunate accident almost a year ago. It is times like these when you remember the loss of a valued friend more so than normally. No more sharing of cake, taunting the additional year and celebrating life. My iCal notified me yesterday of Maurice’s upcoming [...]

    Eclipse 3.4 with openjdk 6 on OS X 32-bit CoreDuo

    With the invaluable help of David Green, I was able to run Eclipse on openjdk 6 on my first gen MacBook Pro (you know, those left behind by Apple, running on a 32 bit CoreDuo processor… good to know that Apple supports the early adapters).
    With this script that I adapted from David’s blog I was [...]

    Maven-eclipse-plugin woes fixed

    There is quite some anti-mavenism going around, about plugins suddenly not working, etc. And often this is true, case in point: maven-eclipse-plugin version 2.6 botched all projects working with Wicket by being very anal about what should live in the ... [More] src/main/java directory tree (only Java files! God forbid you’d like to put web resources such [...] [Less]

    Cross platform exploit brought to you by Java

    From Slashdot:
    ‘This means you can write a 100% reliable exploit in pure Java. This exploit will work on all the platforms, all the architectures and all the browsers,’ —
    And the Java critics said total platform independence was impossible!
    (yes I know that this is only affecting OS X Java, the quote was just too good to [...]

    Downloading the internet with Maven in a new light

    I have my share of complaints like everybody else about Apache Maven and one of them is that upon installation (or upgrading to a new plugin version) it starts downloading half of the available internet. Maven is constructed in a highly modular fashion, requiring lots of different, small, focused Java libraries. I’d like the distribution [...]
