Al added a new project for integrating Wicket with Guice. Guice (pronounced as ‘juice’) is a very elegant, focussed Dependency Injection framework. Al beat me to it; it had been on my radar for while to build such an integration project, but I didn’t want to start before I had a good idea how to re-write the phonebook example.
Jean Baptiste seems to like Guice as well, as a couple of hours after Al’s commits, I saw than he and his collegue, Vincent Demay, were already working at converting their latest pet-project, PickWick, to use Guice. Btw, JBQ and Vincent, if you ever have big plans with that project, you might want to consider a name that is different from the largest tea brand of The Netherlands :)
Eelco hi,
After attending the Wicket training session at Apache con in Netherlands this year, as a component based framework we have decided to use Wicket.
We also are interested in Adobe Flex2 for its attractive user interfaces and I saw your thread at :
http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=45880&asrc=EM_NLN_1674359&uid=1700211#235119
Since we are new to both frameworks, I wonder you can share your projects that you used the both framework experiences with us.
Thanks in advance,
-me.
(correction)
I meant project experiences not the projects. Esp. Flex2 – wicket integration.
Thanks again,
-me.
Hi Mustafa,
I didn’t actually build the Flex part of our web site, so I can’t give you a lot of specifics. Basically, it is a good idea to look at the WicketSessionFilter, which makes the current Wicket session (if any) available to the current thread so that you can make use of it outside of Wicket. As for the rest, remember that Wicket is not bound to specific kinds of markup, so you can generate anything you want.
