It's a nice feature... for Tapestry. We don't need such use of
annotations because we have 'just Java objects' to do stuff like that.
For instance, Wicket's equivalent of:
@EventListener(elements = "myFavoriteDiv", events = "onMouseOver")
public void watchText()
{
// do something
}
is:
myFavoriteDiv.add(new AjaxEventBehavior("onmouseover") {
protected void onEvent(final AjaxRequestTarget target) {
// do something
}
});
If you ask me, that's more object oriented, and I like the fact that
it is plain Java (thus no Java 5 needed).
Also, an advantage of using objects over annotations is that
AjaxEventBehavior can be extended and easily customized for reusable
behaviors. Annotations weren't build with that in mind.
Wicket 1.3 - when we start on that - will still be Java 1.4 based,
like any 1.x will be. Wicket 2.0 (see trunk) is based on Java 5. We
might use annotations if we have a good reason to do so, but currently
we mainly use Java 5's generics support to allow you to create typed
models and components.
