In the past few weeks, I've been experimenting with both Aries and
Wicket on OSGi. With a tiny glue component wicketstuff-osgi [1], the
two frameworks nicely play together.
Instead of creating another demo application, I simply took the Aries
Blog sample and added an alternative web bundle based on Wicket. The
backend bundles only required minor changes, like adding "implements
Serializable" in a few places.
See [2] for more details and links to the source code. The sample is
based on Aries 0.3.0 and WicketStuff 1.5-SNAPSHOT.
Just to show you are not limited to plain old Servlets and JSPs to build
a web front-end on top of Aries ;-)
Best regards,
Harald
