Here are my attempts, one just a little longer than the other: Apache Wicket is a framework for component-based assembly of complex, dynamic web applications. Wicket applications are built using inheritance and composition of plain Java classes and objects and have a refreshing lack of XML configuration files and templating languages.
Apache Wicket is a framework for component-based assembly of complex, dynamic web applications. Wicket applications are built using inheritance and composition of plain Java classes and objects, leveraging a Java developer's existing knowledge and tools, and have a refreshing lack of the XML configuration files and templating languages used by other such frameworks. jk On Wed, May 23, 2007 at 12:35:53PM -0500, James McLaughlin wrote: > All good stuff!
