have been reading the buzz about the Apache Wicket web application framework for a while, but didn't decide to seriously learn Wicket until just a few months ago. I had just finished experimenting with the Java Persistence API (JPA), and decided to repurpose some of the code into a web application for managing bugs. Yes, there are many bug-tracking applications out there, Bugzilla, Jira, and all their cousins, but none compared to the thrill of rolling my own.
Just as I finished writing up the basic bug-tracking functionality to my satisfaction, along comes a new version of Wicket, 1.4-M1, a milestone on the way to 1.4. Of course I had to try it. This article walks you through my experience. Follow along to learn how to utilize some useful new features slated for Wicket 1.4.
