I evaluated wicket a while ago intensively, basically with the goal to have parts of a web user interface model-driven; you can browse through my little project(s) and some examples at http://r8fe.net/webby.
IMHO, Wicket abstracts nicely from the fact that web applications are stateless by nature and it pulls all logic and many visual aspects of a web application into the Java source, using a mature component model, making it much easier to check validity and correctness of your software at compile time. This feels structurally superior to JSF and similar technologies. A downside is that wicket doesn't support a portal environment (yet), so with tears in my eyes I had to rebuff it for my current project, which needs portlets. Hope this helps a little, if you've got more questions, let me know.
