A Wicket Diary

Nathan blogged a while back about Ruby on Rails and which Java frameworks are best to compete with it. He tips Wicket as the best Java framework for this purpose, but still has some doubts on the statefulness of Wicket applications.

But since a week or two, Wicket has support (in CVS HEAD) for ’stateless’ pages. It still needs testing, but Jonathan Locke has worked quite hard to make this possible. Wicket 1.2 will become a giant leap!

It appears that Wicket has a new fan: R.J. Lorimer has written a second article about Wicket, this time on creating custom components using reusable panels.

It is good to see other people writing articles about Wicket. Thanks R.J.!

There is a new nice introductory article posted on the JavaLobby: Wicket: a little bit about Wicket. It is written by R.J. Lorimer and focuses on the novice Wicket user.

Read the article, and try Wicket… You might even like it!
