Interesting - thanks for the post. On my side, I've just deployed a Wicket app to BEA WLS9 with no issues at all - Most of the development was done with Jetty, just changing the Spring config to pickup the dataSource from JNDI for Weblogic, and that's only because I didn't get round to setting the data source for Jetty to provide it via JNDI...
