I think it should be easy enough to pull things from a database that it's worth doing even for 12 items. Wicket is adept at rendering objects, and Hibernate turns table rows into objects; it should be win-win.

But... looking back at the Databinder bookmarks example (http://databinder.net/bookmarks.html), even it looks longish. I see what you mean.

I can get rid of the validation messages now (thanks Wicket!) but otherwise it's hard to optimize it further, without getting into generic bean rendering which I'm honestly not that fond of. Or strip out the add & delete code and you have something really short, but it's a brick. ;)

with Hibernate, though...)

We've got the wicket-phonebook app (Spring/Hibernate) & DataBinder
(Hibernate/EJB3 Annotations) but what should we be recommending for
the following 'introduction' cases?

a) Something to display "select * from table" where there are less
than a dozen items (i.e. no paging needed & hibernate may be overkill)

b) (a), but with a couple of dozen items, leading to needing paging. (Maybe here is where we do want to point to phonebook or databinder,
or maybe there's a step between (a) & Hibernate - Thoughts?)

Anyone want to suggest which components we should point people towards
- it doesn't have to be a full wiki article, just some comments would
do!
