just found this on DIGG: I recently converted a Rails site to Wicket. Wicket really cuts down on template spaghetti code. I can honestly say that wicket’s OO approach is the right way of doing things for web application development. If anyone is interested in the site I mentioned, http://fabulously40.com/

In case you did not notice it yet: Wicket 1.3 was released today

Please note, that there is a TagCloud component for Wicket in Beta stage. Please send Feedback if you use it.

I just put Lightbox for Wicket 1.1-beta online. Though this is a preview/beta release, i’d love to get some feedback. New ‘features’ (or bugfixes if you consider a lack thereof a bug ) are: basic IModel support AJAX-supportand few fixes. Grab it here

i fell over a subtle bug in Wicket-IOC, that causes RuntimeException when Wicket-Guice is used together with Guice-bound-Interceptors while Injecting non-Interface Classes. While the above usecase is a terribly rare one, this problem shows that it is not always a good idea to copy a required lib to another package in order to have ‘no [...]

From now on, i’m going to release a few little spare-time-software projects. The first is a simple Wicket-Component written to integrate the famous Lightbox2 JavaScript into Wicket Components/Pages. It can be found here

You know Wicket , at least, you’ve heard of it. What you might have missed, is that it integrates with Guice quite well through this project .I’ve tried it and it’s marvellous. Consider this: SomeForm.java public final class SomeForm extends Form { public SomeForm(final String componentName) { super(componentName); add(new FeedbackPanel(“feedback”)); [... populate form ...] } [...]

I’m not alone with my view on Wicket. Just found this on Nabble: Wicket is the framework that I’ve been looking for for a long time. The certain feature of wicket that made itself the favorite of mine is it doesn’t allow me (and anyone from my co-programmers) to put programming logic in the markup. [...]

Web application development to me has one central problem: separation of concern between designers/page authors and the ‘backend geek’. My firm belief is, that there is a very small number of people, that can do a good job in both areas.Any of the many webapp frameworks out there has to answer three questions: How much [...]
