some comments on the slides, might be totally off since there is no voice over for the presentation
CON HTML templates live next to Java code ------------------------------------------------------------------ this is the default behavior because wicket supports packaging reusable components into jars so they can simply be dropped into any project. for the actual application it is easily changed. CON Need to have a good grasp of OO ------------------------------------------------------------------ wtf? java is OO and requires a good grasp to get anything done properly. CON The Wicket Way - everything done in Java ------------------------------------------------------------------ wicket is a framework - thats what frameworks do. if you dont like doing this stuff in java then dont use wicket. simple as that - but is it a con? Decoration ------------------------------------------------------------------ wicket has borders and markup inheritance which are imho much more flexible then sitemesh - although wicket specific. Ajax Support Wicket: Dojo and Script.aculo.us (Wicket Stuff) ------------------------------------------------------------------ wicket has an excellent native ajax support. it also has excellent ajax-fallback support where ajax components written with this in mind degrade very gracefully when there is no javascript. see AjaxFallback* components. Internationalization Tapestry's <span key="key.name"> is awesome ------------------------------------------------------------------ <wicket:message key=" key.name"> Tools Stripes and Wicket don't have any official tools ------------------------------------------------------------------ define "official" afaik spindle's author is not a tapestry committer and if he is he hasnt always been. see wicket-bench http://www.laughingpanda.org/mediawiki/index.php/Wicket_Bench and idea plugin in wicket-stuff svn -igor On 7/30/07, Sean Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > fyi > > Matt Raible gave a presentation at OSCON last week.
