I don't think there need to be a 1000 examples - a single, complete, convincing example would be sufficient...one that can be used as a starting point for a website (authentication, a good database layer...some ajax samples).
I am currently looking at several webprograming frameworks, including T5, Wicket and PHP based frameworks such as Akelos and CakePHP. For a new project I want to use the "fastest" webprograming framework, that will both show results in little time and that does not require a lot of time to get it running and to be able to get going with it. So far, T5 is quite good as you do not need a lot of configuration and tools exist to generate mapping files etc....or annotated java daos....and you can either start from a database or object-driven point of view. The problem in T5 is that it is very flexible and different people use the "lego bricks" of Tapestry in a different way so that it is hard to re-use code of others. There is no general agreement on how to do those projects and everyone does his own user authentication etc....so in my opinion it is only good if you start from scratch and do everything on your own. My first impression of wicket (after looking at the phonebook application) is, that lots of code examples for Ajax exist and that it looks quite good. However there seem to be lots of configuration files, so whenever you make a new object you need new hibernate mapping files, and several class files and interfaces - so lots of writing. I also happenned to see a .vm file - and I think velocity is really out-of-date....and I dont know why this is needed. So I think you could re-use existing code of others and save time with Wicket and make nice-Ajax applications - but it seems to be a lot of code-writing and configuration work. Akelos looks like a great framework - like Ruby on Rails for PHP. However there is not much code available but you are a lot faster then doing webprogramming using Java frameworks... CakePHP is a good alternative - a different approach and much more code samples and a bigger community. E.g. there was a sample application (a complete CMS!!!), and I wanted to replace a text field on the registration page by a date. So I opened phpMyAdmin and replaced the column type by date - reloaded the page (without a restart or additional code-generation) - and there was already a date-picker on the page instead of the text field. So you save lots of time. You dont even need a mapping for your objects as it uses the meta information of the database tables and in general a general definition of what column names need to look like etc....so a great time-saver. So my favourite would be cakePHP right now although I would prefer a Java framework - but they are either incomplete or involve much configuration files, restart of the server every time and often you end up in problems that require to debug the core code - and then you end up wasting one day or several day for nothing. -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Sat, 20 Sep 2008 08:10:01 -0400 > Von: "James Carman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > An: [email protected] > Betreff: Re: Wicket sample application > A quick perusal of Wicket in Action over a weekend wouldn't hurt > either (if you like Cheese)! :) > > On Sat, Sep 20, 2008 at 8:08 AM, James Carman > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think you might find that if you started with some of the tutorials > > and perhaps some maven archetypes, you could have probably made up > > your own example of wicket with database access and all of the > > features you're looking for with far less keystrokes than you've spent > > writing emails asking where the examples are.
