Persistence with Hibernate annotations and Spring declarative transactions (@Transactional) provide a great programming model. Wicket on top of that, with Spring components injected via @SpringBean works well, too, though so far Wicket doesn't really leverage Java 5. One notable exceptions is the wicketstuff-annotations project, which allows you to configure mounts with annotations.
You should look for existing components for image uploading and map display, that will help getting started. Building your own forum software doesn't sound like a good idea, all in all there is just way too much stuff you'd have to reinvent. Not sure if there is anything available for wicket for building a forum. Jörn On Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 10:01 PM, Vernon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I plan to use Wicket first time for my next project.
