Numerous enhancements make Apache Wicket > v6.0.0 a solid choice for web development: > > - Out-of-the box JQuery integration > - Complete control over AJAX requests > - Improved event registration in browsers > - Support for large datasets in components > - Dependency management for client side javascript libraries > - Experimental support for websockets > > Additional features include a customizable client-side API, improved > feedback messages, correct packaging for OSGi compatibility and > improved initialization of plugins. Highlights include: > > Java 6 required -This release moves the minimum required Java version > to Java 6. This means that Wicket applications running on earlier Java > versions meaning to upgrade, also need to upgrade their Java runtime. > > Revamped Wicket AJAX now leverages JQuery - Wicket's custom AJAX > JavaScript library has been re-implemented using JQuery. This makes it > easier to integrate JQuery plugins into Wicket applications. With the > new AJAX implementation it is possible to provide your own version of > JQuery should the need arise, or even to replace the whole Wicket > client side AJAX implementation. > > AJAX Attributes - With the new and improved AJAX implementation, you > can alter any aspect of an AJAX request through AjaxRequestAttributes. > For example you can specify that the request should be executed using > POST instead of GET, or that the AJAX request should be multi-part, > etc. See the migration guide or the JavaDoc of AjaxRequestAttributes > for all possible options. > > Browser event registration replaces inline events - Wicket now uses > JavaScript event registration instead of inline attributes for AJAX > components. This enables multiple event listeners to be attached to a > markup tag, cleans up the rendered markup considerably and reduces the > amount of generated markup. > > IDataProvider now uses long instead of int - The IDataProvider<T> > interface and implementations now use long instead of int for index > and size parameters to better line up with the Java Persistence API > and other persistency frameworks. Big data is now possible with > Wicket! > > ${label} replaces ${input} in feedback messages - Previous Wicket > versions used the input that was provided by users in error messages > when validations failed. This led to error messages like "1234a is not > a valid number". In Wicket 6 the feedback messages use the label of > the invalid form component instead. You can set the label by calling > setLabel() on the form component. If no label is provided, Wicket > defaults to displaying the component identifier. This changes the > error message to "Phonenumber is not a valid number". > > Resources can declare dependencies - It is now much easier to create > resource contributions with dependencies, for example a JQuery plugin > can declare a dependency on JQuery and other resources such as > embedded style sheets. Users of such resources don’t have to provide > these dependencies themselves, and the dependencies are linked in the > appropriate order. > > Packaged resources will use minimized version automatically - When a > minimized JavaScript resource is available (filename.min.js – add the > .min part to the filename before the extension), Wicket will > automatically use the minimized version when running in deployment > mode, while using the non-minimized version for development mode. > > OSGi compatible packaging - Wicket's packaging has been made > compatible with OSGi bundles by moving some classes to different > packages. The full list can be found in our migration guide. This > makes it much easier to deploy Wicket applications in an OSGi > environment. > > Experimental websocket implementations - This release also includes > two experimental websocket implementations: one using Atmosphere as a > bridge for browsers and containers that don't support websockets > natively and one for containers and browsers that have native > websocket support. > > The complete set of changes is available in the migration guide at > http://s.apache.org/wicket-6.0-migration > > Availability and Oversight > > As with all Apache products, Apache Wicket v6.0.0 is released under > the Apache License v2.0, and is overseen by a self-selected team of > active contributors to the project.
