 The Wicket project has released Wicket 1.2. Wicket is a Java component
based web application framework licensed under the open source Apache 2
license. Wicket allows Java developers to create highly dynamic web
applications using plain Java and HTML.

This is the third major release of the Wicket web framework and marks a
major milestone after 7 months of hard labor by the core team of developers
and the users of the framework. This release has been anticipated for
several months and sports many major new features and improvements over
previous releases. Major features of Wicket 1.2 include:
 Native, cross-platform AJAX support: use AJAX without having to write a
single line of JavaScript. Wicket's AJAX cross-platform capabilities have
been rated 'A'
 Render multiple components in one AJAX call, where each component can
occupy any part of the page
 Improved markup inheritance: panels, pages, header contributions
 Improved and simplified internationalization (i18n) support, using
<wicket:message>, better resource bundle lookup strategy
 Out of the box default resource bundles for many languages, including
English, German, Spanish, Portugese, French, Hungarian, Dutch, Finnish,
Danish, Swedish, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Bulgarian and Farzi (Iranian).
 Multiple form component validation, validate two or more fields that are
related
 Improved form handling: clear form validation workflow that allows you to
much easier defined required and type conversion attributes of a form
component
Nice URL support through URL mounting
Markup fragments (inline panels)
 Improved performance by replacing OGNL with our own object graph language
parser
 Response filter support, added ServerTime and ServerClientTime filters
 Reloading of resource bundles in development mode
 Improved unit test support for your Wicket components and pages through the
WicketTester, create unittests that run outside the container.
 Out-of-the-box AJAX components: paging navigator, link with fallback,
auto-updater, AJAX form, AJAX submit buttons, etc.
 Improved authorization and authentication support, giving you the power to
specify authorization at the component level. An example project featuring a
role based, annotation framework is now part of the standard distribution.
 Spring support for injecting your business logic into your web pages in a
non-intrusive manner, while still being able to use the convenient Wicket
idiom for creating pages (using the Java new operator).
 Improved settings system: settings are now partitioned into logical
groupings to make them easier to find
Numerous bug fixes and minor improvements Wicket runs on any application
server supporting the servlet API version 2.3 and higher, and will work on
Java 1.4 SDK's or newer. We have tried to keep API changes to a minimum, but
had to change and remove some methods and classes. Wicket 1.2 will not be a
drop-in replacement, though most of your application's pages and components
should not be affected. There is a migration guide available on our wiki:
Migrating to Wicket 1.2 The Wicket 1.2 release is a highly anticipated major
landmark in the history of Wicket.

The core development team wishes to extend their gratitude to all users who
helped build and test this release.

Enjoy and have fun!

- The Wicket team
