if you dont want spring and want to write something for pure jdbc i would store a datasource in application, and subclass request cycle to open/close/rollback/commit the transaction assuming you want a single-transaction-per-request pattern.

Okay I know of all the contrib projects, databinder, hibernate stuffs etc, I have used databinder and its lovely but I think for some reason, database in wicket needs to be sort of easier to put up to encourage faster adaptation. Come to think about it, presently most of the present solutions around database in Wicket wraps around Hibernate and a beginner who is not familair with hibernate may get stuck. Some developers still tend to love thier SQL thing compared to ORM and in some cases, you want to do direct SQL cuz hibernate3.jar is some size you may not need to include in your portable web application. And believe me, i believe more ppl learn SQL more than they learn ORM in Schools
Yesterday, I was tryin to use Dababinder or wicket-contrib-dababase but at the same time i was using the wicket-auth framework and all these contibs enforce that you extend XXXApplication in your Application Class which means you cannot directly use Contrib projects e.g wicket-contrib-database and also Wicket-auth. There should be a more elegant way to use multiple contrib projects without this Inheritance lock jam.
Now most web applications need authentication and also need database which is why i believe wicket shoud somehow integrate some DAO scheme into wicket where all we do is set connection properties and from Components, you can fly CRUD.
Well i know there must be some good reasons to exclude this from wicket but what will be the most elegant way to do CRUD in wicket? where should I store my Connection? Session or Application Class. Should I create a parent WebPage with all the SQL stuffs and then make other CRUD pages extend it. a hundred ways to do this but which way is more elegant?
Thanks Wicket dads
