In subversion they support much newer versions. The 0.4 dojo version is wicket 1.1 based iirc. Not only in Dojo land things have changed since then... Using snapshot versions for wicketstuff dojo will give you 0.9 or 1.0 (iirc) This option is best used when you have Java developers that don't want to get into Javascript and use the tight integration from inside their server side view. 2) surface integration - using own javascript code, java code(json) to bind > js framework and wicket.

Not perse... if you include the library in a base page, then you can use it as if it is omnipresent. This way you can create behaviors that create widgets on the client side, or animate or ... The difference is that you couple your java code implicitly to the javascript library. This is probably better for teams with web developers, or when you have a complex page where a lot of client side processing takes place. How javascript library should be integrated into wicket application? You gave the two basic options. Either works and suits different teams. It is a matter of preference, and whether you want to use the latest and greatest. Please left your opinion there. Where? :) Best, Martijn -- Buy Wicket in Action: http://manning.com/dashorst Apache Wicket 1.3.0-rc1 is released Get it now: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/wicket/1.3.0-rc1/
