The GeoServer administration interface is written in Wicket, so if you use
that framework you can package your application up as a plugin to GeoServer
and have it show up in the sidebar navigation menu.  If you are building a
webapp to run separately from GeoServer then which framework fits best
depends on your team's experience and preferences.  As a first pass, I would
say that Wicket is better for developers with more desktop experience than
web/html experience, although either framework will require HTML knowledge.

The following discussions on Stackoverflow.com may prove useful to you:

Hope this helps.

Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized
environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security 
easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the 
two and get a better understanding.
