Wicket in Action is really good, but it doesn't go too depper. I read a lot and still having problems, so I recommend some of the links suggested and: reading this mail-list (of course), the wiki http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/ and http://wicketstuff.org/ . And I agree with Ernesto. IMO it's very expensive for us, in other countries, to buy a book considering we pay in dollars (at least 2 times more than a national book). For other things we can pay up to 60% of taxes, over the price, for the government - not for books for while, but it still expensive for a lot of stuff and a lot of people. That's why I recommended the links.
