Casper: Thanks that is helpful :)

Igor: Sorry again for not being clear.  What I meant by Wicket DAO's was the
Dao's I have written and are currently used within my app, which happens to
be Wicket-based, and which also uses Guice and Hibernate.  Basically, "the
DAO's that are working within the space of my existing app."

The reason I asked was because if I set up my REST stuff in a separate
Servlet, then I was wondering if the objects in that app would be able to
call methods on the objects that are living within the classloader of the
Wicket-based app.

So, looking at this other Thread that Casper pointed me to: 
http://www.nabble.com/Wicket-and-%28or%29-restlet-ts22822162.html
it sounds like Jersey might work well for what I'm trying to do.  
So my question is, should I write my Jersey-based classes inside of my
existing Wicket-based webapp and just have them invoked from a separate
servlet?
It seems like that would work since my wicket stuff will be mapped to /* and
my REST stuff will be mapped to /service/*


Thanks guys,
Jamie
