1.3 will be released soon. Martijn sent a release plan to the developer list earlier this week. 1.4 shouldn't take too long either, but you never know. > - Documentation. There's not one coherent document for 1.3... the Wiki is > littered with bits of wisdom, but it's hard to tell what techniques work > with or are obsoleted by version 1.3... You can always compare with http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/migrate-13.html. The techniques in general are valid for both, but you probably won't be able to copy n paste much. > - Books. When are the books coming out? Pro Wicket has been available for a while, and though this is written for 1.2, it should give you a good base to start learning. We're starting a MEAP program for Wicket In Action in a few weeks. > - CMS... as I've said, the front-end is CMS driven, and because of load, I'd > like to keep things stateless as much as possible (altho, all bets are off > when the user logs in).

If you want to know how session state is handled, you can start looking at ISessionStore and implementations/ friends. Rather than 'mounting' pages dynamically, you should look into providing a custom coding strategy.

You can code the part that gives you an uneasy feeling entirely stateless if you want. However, if you are just talking about a couple of thousand concurrent sessions: put a couple of hundred MBs in your server and you should be done. Start profiling and load testing early for better results :) Eelco ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
