Or e.g. work with bean properties and use property change listeners.

Yeah. Thing is that everything in Wicket works automatically for
normal processing. Since GWT is Ajax only, and they 'own' everything
that happens in the browser, they can do that. The way Ajax with
Wicket currently works is very flexible etc, but agreed requires more
hand work.

It's not a static framework though. We're always on the lookout for
improving things, and this might be an area for that. You could open a
JIRA issue (feature request) for it so that we make this discussion
more persistent. And of course, please share any insights you might
develop while working on this.
