Having a beginners perspective is very good. We'll monitor your progress though ;-) We're glad you're on board, and we hope you will have lots of fun using Wicket.Two things:
1) I'm adding some stuff to the Wiki. So far only some info on the wicket
tags and attributes, but there's more to come (I'm keeping notes).
However, I'm only a beginner, so I'd greatly appreciate it if someone
experienced looked things over to make sure I'm not giving out false
information.
Of course the Spring people will tell you to use the Spring integration. But I haven't used Spring yet, and I constantly see a lot of XML configuration flying around. Wicket is about removing the need for external configuration as much as possible, so:2) I want to use Hibernate with my app. It looks like there are two ways to go about this:
- Use the wicket-contrib-data-hibernate-3.0 package
or
- Use the wicket-contrib-spring package. Apparently Spring wraps a
bunch of the Hibernate stuff so it can be used automatically.
My initial advice is to stick with the hibernate package. Especially if you need to learn Wicket, Hibernate and Spring. Learning 3 things at a time is probably too much ;-). You'll end up in configuration hell. For a good example of Hibernate development, you may want to take a look at the CD App example. This project shows some ways to use and configure Hibernate. It is also a great project to start your own development with.
The hibernate packages aren't /too/ extensive, so you may find several things lacking as you start building your own applications. Perhaps you can add feature requests on the wicket-stuff project for the Hibernate projects. Maybe even implement them? :-)
Thanks again for helping us out!
