Joachim,
Thanks for this information. It shows that we made the right choice with Wicket for a new retail site. Also thank you for posting your components as open source. Do you have any examples of how these components can and should be used. In particular the jofilter, wicket-stateless, and expiring-cache. Thanks. Jeff From: Joachim F.

Check out mobile.walmart.com (or just point your mobile phone to www.walmart.com and get redirected automatically). The reason why my client decided to go with Wicket makes it easy to support multiple different types of devices. The walmart mobile application supports different HTML for three categories of devices (L1: iPhones & challengers, L2: BlackBerries, L3: Plain Old Devices). These three experiences are supported by the same Java code on the server side. We added a few components to Wicket, mostly because in the retail arena being stateless is very important. Our components are available at http://code.google.com/p/jolira-tools/. <http://code.google.com/p/jolira-tools/> Wicket is an awesome product and I would like to thank the Wicket team for all there work. One day I hope to get the largest enterprise in the world to donate an appropriate amount of money for future development! :) Best regards, Joachim http://www.jolira.com
