DESCRIPTION
There are dozens of Java frameworks out there, but most of them require you to learn special coding techniques and new, often rigid, patterns of development. Wicket is different. As a component-based web application framework, Wicket lets you build maintainable enterprise-grade web applications using the power of plain old Java objects (POJOs), HTML, Ajax, Spring, Hibernate, and Maven. Wicket automatically manages state at the component level, which means no more awkward HTTPSession objects. Its elegant programming model enables you to write rich web applications quickly.
Wicket in Action is an authoritative, comprehensive guide for Java developers building Wicket-based web applications. This book starts with an introduction to Wicket's structure and components, and moves quickly into examples of Wicket at work. Written by two of the project's earliest and most authoritative experts, this book shows you both the “how-to” and the “why” of Wicket. As you move through the book, you'll learn to use and customize Wicket components, how to interact with other technologies like Spring and Hibernate, and how to build rich, Ajax-driven features into your applications.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
- Setting up projects
- Localization and internationalization
- Security
- Building database applications
- Creating custom reusable components
- Wicket's Ajax and JavaScript capabilities
- Working with resources
