All,
I've been reading up on various forums (JavaLobby, TSS, etc) and I
want to thank our community for bringing Wicket into the spotlight.
Two nice quotes on JavaLobby, taken from a Ruby on Rails thread:
"Wicket + hibernate is the ultimate Web Solution. I enjoy them, enjoy
coding with java, its inspiring seeing them bring out yur ideas and
sincerely I and my customers are not complaining"

"No XMLs don't make me happy. Yes I could play with RoR and I will
sometime. But for all other guys who like to build in Java, and they
like what Spring, Hibernate, OSCache, AspectJ, Quartz and MANY MORE
bring to the table, WILL YOU PLEASE USE WICKET STARTING FROM TOMORROW
MORNING ?! It's no XML, it's plain Java and HTML (even RoR can't get
rid of HTML, ack! ) AND MOST OF ALL IT BRINGS BACK OOP into WEB
Programming."

Well, here is where I am nice. You should hear me screaming and moaning
at whoever brought action based frameworks into the world. Well, WebWork
and few others are exceptions but there are some which I will not
mention here and of which the Java community as a whole should be ashamed.
Spring + Hibernate provided an excellent alternative to the complexity,
quircks and shortcommings of EJBs. I expect (and I am asisting to it
already) Wicket to do the same for the web tier. Keep up the good work
and thanks for the fact that not only RoR guys can have web fun these
days. Wicket users can do that too :-D.
Thanks for the evangelism, and keep it nice!
I will.
Martijn
