If it helps: about half a year ago, we started to port a Swing application to the web. We started with JSF, but after three months we pulled the plug and switched to Wicket. We had converted everything to Wicket in two months and about two thirds the code. Oh... and with two instead of three developers. And did I mention that we added quite a bit of AJAX bling in the process and EVERYTHING still works when you turn of Javascript? And that there is none of the POST-only madness? I know JSF is supposedly the standard, but so is CORBA, and look where that went;-)
Thomas PS: a funny thing happend about 3 weeks into the Wicket port: one Thursday I noticed that I had not been completely disgusted and ready to quit (and become a goat farmer) a single time that week. Wicket does not suck and sometimes it's downright cool. > -----Original Message----- > From: robert.mcguinness [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Freitag, 28.
