Wicket in Action

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

Wicket takes lead in test over Grails, JSF/Seam and Tapestry

Peter Thomas, renowned for his previous comparisons between web frameworks has put all the popular choices of the moment next to one another in one short article. I haven’t tried the benchmark myself, but I like the results:

Overall, Wicket is fastest, with Tapestry coming a close second.

Read it yourself, and then confirm the results yourself.

  1. I love developing in wicket, but this news just sweetens the experience so much more. It really is the way web development should be (from an OO perspective). Great news.

  2. Wicket is an awesome framework, it has his quirks but makes code development fast. The websites developed are blazingly fast.

  3. The following mega site http://buy.norton.com was developed using Apache Wicket. We did tweek some code to take care of some performance issues, overall great experience.

Finally, the Web Framework of web frameworks, Apache Wicket, now has a bible of its own.

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.

Wicket In Action glues the areas of web development with Apache Wicket together and gives a great overview of Apache Wicket...it will make a great compendium.
