About this Presentation
The model supplied by Java Web Frameworks is broken. As software engineers break away from the shackles of Struts and the false promises of JSF, a new model based on object oriented programming and a clean separation of concerns has emerged with Apache Wicket. The framework has a simple component hierarchy allowing for reusability without pain.
This session looks at the core aspects that Wicket provides. Walk through the basic components and concepts and peer into an example app built using Wicket. Get insights into the differences between it and two other popular Java frameworks: JSF and GWT. Learn how Wicket embraces the object oriented concepts you haven't been able to use in web frameworks in the past, and have fun in the process.
