Yes OSGi should helps. For the time being, I have tried JRebel successfully in OFbiz. This means if JRebel is used, any java code changes will not need to building the jar and reload tomcat, inorder to do testing. Developers for open source project can apply for free annual licence. Alternatively, I can explore using groovy to do the wicket pages. Fyi, I am working on using existing screens for the Wicket Pages, so that existing templates for headers, menus, footers can be reused. I will report the progress probably a week or 2 later.

For Widget Form vs Grooy/Freemarker couple it's mostly because it allows more reusability and extensiblity, it's more compact and clear, here experience can tell For Minilang vs Java it's easy to understand that you don't need to compile and especially reload. Using OSGI for components would help for the reload part and component compilation is not that long...

The wicket example serves to demonstrate the necessary setup. The proof of concept is not polished but it serves to show: 1) how we add a wicket component to framework 2) how we can use wicket in an existing OFBiz application 3) how we can reuse the OFBiz's menu.xml file to generate the menus in the wicket page. I have added the function for the request handler to forward the request from OFBiz control servlet to Wicket servlet. Inorder for the forwarding to work, we need to a) add request-map to the controller.xml and set the response type to 'forward' b) mount the wicket page in WicketExampleApplication.java UrlRewrite servlet and its urlrewrite.xml file serves to rewrite the url necessary for accessing wicket's resource and ajax functions. About the WicketCommonDecorator class: 1) It's concept is akin to OFBiz's Decorator concept, and meant to be subclassed when creating a wicket page. 2) There are various abstract methods the developer needs to provide information with. (I am thinking of providing a setting class instead of those abstract methods) 3) It should look at the current theme and add the necessary themes panel (currenty only done for Tomahawk) Other things todo includes: 1) Implement the panels for other themes, including the footers 2) page header info is hardcoded Bugs: 1) Screen doesn't look OK in IE8. I am hoping that someone interested in using wicket with OFBiz to give it some polish, as I need to focus on other things 1st.

As a side note: I use a third party WYSIWYG to create the java code for a GUI. I now use Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) to launch and communicate with ofbiz. Just some thoughts.

I agreed that more thought is needed for the theme portion. 1) To give an example: Currently the quote header and items are separate forms. If I were to create a single creation form for them and have the ability to change certain part of the form based on a dropdown value, I will have to start using javascript. But wicket makes such a task simpler. 2) Wicket pages are just java files. Wicket will bind the values in the html (client )with the fields in the wicket pages (server). To interact with OFBiz, there is an OFBizContext object in the wicket page (like the context in ofbix) that the developer can use it to get delegator. security etc and use them in the various wicket page. This OFBizContext is also used when accessing OFBiz services.

Except for framework the Goal is to use minilang instead of java. one of the reason that the quote header and items are separate forms is to allow other applications in the future to use just one or the other without the baggage of both. the advantage of using the Widgets is they allow to build a larger more complete screen but including many screenlets, that also have there own CSS class to placement and look and feel are defined in the CSS. so if that functionality is also for Wickets then I see it integrating better. #2 i am not clear yet how when you have a java application such as wickets on the user desktop how it will securely communication with the ofbiz server.

As for reusability, wicket panels work equally well. It can also combine panels into a single form and page. #2 I am not sure if I understand your question. Wicket is a web application framework. You can take a look at some demos at http://wicketstuff.org/wicket14/, including the guestbook.
