The SourceForge open source lightweight Wicket project is a Java web application framework that takes simplicity, separation of concerns and ease of development to a new level. Wicket pages can be mocked up, previewed and later revised using standard WYSIWYG HTML design tools. Dynamic content processing and form handling is all managed in Java code using a first-class component model backed by POJO data beans that can easily be persisted using technology such as Hibernate. This book takes a no-nonsense approach, jumping directly to the practical aspects of Wicket. Chapters include Developing Wicket Forms; Validation with Wicket; Developing a Simple Application; Providing a Common Layout; Spring Integration; Wicket Localization; Wicket and Ajax; Custom Components and Wicket Extensions, and Unit Testing.
