Marrying Wicket And jQuery UI Autocomplete Ajax:
I learned that no one seemed to have posted a pure Wicket solution but rather relied upon wiQuery’s implementation. [As] I prefer to not use wiQuery and to roll my own reusable “pure” Wicket based solutions

Apache Wicket Cookbook Is Published!
March 25th, 2011 by ivaynberg
For the past nine months I have been quietly working on a book about Wicket. Unlike other books on the market this one does not attempt to teach you Wicket from the ground up. Instead, it is for developers who already know the basics and want to learn how to implement some of the more advanced use cases. Essentially, it contains recipes that show the reader how to implement solutions to some of, what I think are, the most commonly asked questions and stumbling blocks. This morning I was informed that the book has been published! You can read more about it and pick up a copy on PACKT’s Site. I hope you enjoy it, more details below the break …
- UPDATE: Table of Contents added below the break.
- UPDATE: PACKT made Chapter 5 available as a free sample

London Wicket Event November 21st
November 4th, 2009 by dashorstSomething special is brewing in downtown London on Saturday, 21st November. jWeekend is organizing a very special event at the iconic Foyles Bookshop in central London.
Join core committers Matej, Alastair, Jeremy and Martijn together with WiQuery gurus Richard and Lionel for an afternoon of intellectual Wicketness.
Join us for some very interesting, high quality presentations and to chat with fellow Wicket users and developers at all levels. We’re expecting this to be another popular event and since places are limited book and confirm early if you can make it. Details and registration are at the usual place.
There is a cool little Jazz cafe at Foyles too, where there’ll be a live act (Femi Temowo) at 13:00 if you enjoy some Jazz guitar relaxation before your intellectual stimulation. They offer a decent range of food and drink there too.
I’ll be available to sign some books, so Bring Your Copy of Wicket in Action—or buy one in the store and have it signed!
