It took 55 minutes, including some very basic demo of a datatable component with filters and sort (from the databinder baseball players example), of Ajax components (using the guestbook demo and quickly showing the source code), a live demo of community activity (number of e-mails sent on the mailing lists during the talk) and a more detailed demo of the custom component (I didn't show the slides with source code, but rather the actual source in eclipse with more detailed explanation). I first thought I could showcase detailed error reporting with a bad wicket id in the custom component demo, but I was too short in time.

It can work, it depends on how long you spend on each point. Maybe I talked a little bit too quickly (with the stress of the presentation, controlling the speech flow is not easy). Watching the recorded talk would be the best to evaluate the time, but I don't think it'll be available before october. I like the reference to "Pro JSF & Ajax" - I had the exact same feeling > reading that book sometime back and i even pinged Eelco and told him. I didn't actually read the book, but I attended to a talk from the authors at last javapolis, and was not convinced by the "simplicity" of creating custom components for JSF they were talking about. I first thought I could bring the book to show it instead of having just a cover picture, but I forgot it in my hotel room :-) How I wish I had learnt JSF before coming to wicket - Am supposed to do a > session comparing both. So in my spare time am forced to try out exercises > in JSF - its so painful to go backwards in life ! :-( I understand your pain :-) Some points of comparison from what I know of JSF (I may be wrong): control over your URLs, use of HTTP "verbs" (GET vs POST) and of course custom components. Also this - > > > http://chillenious.wordpress.com/2006/05/12/a-word-about-custom-components/ Yes, I quoted a phrase from this wonderful post! Btw, do you mind if i "re-use" some of your slide contents ? ;-) Sure, no problem, most of the slides are from Martjin's presentation anyway :-) Xavier thanks, > Karthik > > > On 9/12/07, Xavier Hanin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi Wicket community, > > > > I've just finished my presentation on Wicket at JavaZone!
