I'm still cross posting to the ServerSide, as I'm trying to get the thoughts of wingS users. --- Some of the responses mention the separation of concerns: Web page designers can focus on the usability and beauty of the page, while Java developers can hook up that page to that application.
I see advantages to that approach, but there is duplication in the wicket approach. If I add a component to the page, I most likely would have to add the same component to the code. So, does the duplication in wicket lead to: * more performant page rendering over wingS (this is quite important to me) * highly productive development, i.e., is the effort to produce and maintain an HTML page /and/ the wicket components less than that to produce an equivalent set of components in wingS (as measured in developer time) * any other advantage On 12/12/05, Dorel Vaida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Michael Jouravlev wrote: > > >On 12/11/05, Andrew Lombardi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > >>Programmers work in Java, Designers work in HTML, wicket follows the > >>separation of concerns fairly eloquently. > >> > >> > > > >This is a wrong principle.
