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]

    I think the script writers in Hollywood are taking notes, because this year’s election in the US are just incredible. It feels like a horror movie made by Sam Raimi (I love his Evil Dead trilogy!) where humor, slapstick and horror mash into a brilliant movie.
