Wicket in Action

A comprehensive guide for Java developers building Wicket-based web applications

Wicket 1.4.1 supports Ajax file uploads

August 20th, 2009 by dashorst

The Apache Wicket project is proud to announce the first maintenance release: Apache Wicket 1.4.1. The most notable change in this release is the transparent support for multipart form submissions via Ajax. Wicket is now smart enough to submit a form using a hidden iframe rather then the standard XMLHttpRequest if the form contains file upload fields.

You can download the release here:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/wicket/1.4.1

Or use this in your Maven pom’s to upgrade to the new version:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.wicket</groupId>
    <artifactId>wicket</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.1</version>
</dependency>

A complete list of changes can be found in our Jira instance.

We thank you for your patience and support.

Wicket is an innovative evolution of the MVC programming with simple roots, but without a primer such as this, it can be more challenging than it needs to be.
