More reasons to love Wicket

The list season is on! In a response to Xavier’s top 10 reasons to choose Wicket, James goes beyond that and provides us with a list of reasons to love Wicket. He has worked with Wicket for just about 12 hours, and already has 13 reasons to love Wicket. Here’s reason number 4:

“real re-use. Using every other framework, reuse at the UI layer has been nearly impossible, or at least broken. In struts you could re-use forms, but ended up copying jsp crap around. In wicket, you can make subclasses of existing components (like a panel) that contain your bus specific version of it.”

One thought on “More reasons to love Wicket

  1. Hi,
    for me wicket sounds good. In our company we have developed an App-Framework with PHP and I had a look on tapestry an JSF, but I don’t like the XML-configration nightmare.
    Now the things I’m waiting for are an Appl-Framework, using Wicket, with the standard things done, like user authentication, configurable access to functions and views and one special component would be great, an editable table/spreadsheet like Goggle Spreadsheet. Nothing is more convenient than having the possibility to edit data in a spreadsheet than to edit each dataset ot its own. regads mikel
