Hi, this is a topic every web developer is facing currently.
I think because Wicket uses HTML5 and Java you can combine JS Frameworks with many of the features of Wicket. Example: Because you have a java backend you can build a rest API with wicket-rest-annotations and configure your Angular JS to work with it - if you have a page change you could use Wicket components and even the pages could be served with Wicket containing the Angular content. There are some things I want to point out: Java Frameworks: * Compiling / JUnit tests (with WicketTester) let you know if you break something - in my opinion this is currently working better as JavaScript-Testing with no compilation * You have a better IDE support for the Java Part than for JavaScript - all the time I spoke to JS developer they all the time give me a complete different tool setup they use which at least do not cover the whole stuff needed to ensure alle facets if you refactor something (this gets better with TypeScript which also Angular decided to use) * NPM itself does not guarantee that the versions you are using of a released module are the same all the time - you have to use additional plugins like Shrinkwrap to do so - this is way better in maven! * You don't have to build up the interaction client<>server yourself (Wicket and others) this is done by the framework for you - with Angular you have to handle every REST call yourself JavaScript Frameworks: * You don't need a VM to run it just a simple browser and the library * A big community of developers, because every frontend developer used JavaScript before can build up the presentations layer. * Less overhead on server side (memory consumption) As you can see there are advantages and disadvantages on both sides, but as I mentioned - if you want to you can combine them, but you have to evaluate which fits the best to your requirement. kind regards Tobias > Am 14.10.2016 um 06:33 schrieb fzb <naz...@bzforce.com>: > > Hi, > > I am a fan of Wicket & had been working on for last 6 to 7 yrs using the > same.
