We're clustering with Terracotta and none of our model objects actually is Serializable ... regards, Michael Fabrizio Giudici wrote: > > > On Jul 23, 2008, at 13:19 , Alex Objelean wrote: > >> >> I've recently found this post on dzone: >> http://java.dzone.com/news/this-time-last-year This time last year ... >> >> What is your oppinion about this? > > In short, I could compare (partially) it with my feelings about Apple. > I was so excited when I abandoned Windows for Mac OS X, but after four > years Mac OS X is not up to my expectations; but I consider it still > the best of competitors (the parallel stops here: today I'd happily > leave Mac OS X and Apple if I could, but I can't; while I'm not > willing to abandon Wicket). > > The v1 of my most strategic web project (a direct customer) has been > developed in Wicket (1.3), and now I'm working on v2, which will be > developed on Wicket of course.
