Although wicket looks like a very promising framework, which is well on its way to be on of major player in web tire for JEE applications, lack of documantation has always been one of the major drawbacks for starters to dive into wicket. But recently, thanks to Apress and Karthik, ‘Pro Wicket’ beta book has been released. You can find the book here:

qwicket: A successful built, and war deployment August 7

Filed under Uncategorized, Spring, Hibernate, Wicket, qwicket by mozammel | 4 comments

The web applications generated by qwicket (0.2) still don’t run out of the box. As I tried to run the build.xml file, which was suppose to download the dependencies and build the war file, the built resulted unsuccessful. So, I had to get my hands dirty, and manually download the jar files and resolve the dependencies (including versoning issues of different jars with each other).

Firstly, I had to turn off the auto jar download during build process. I did it by adding this line in build.properties file:

build.offline=true

And then went through the build process, and resolved the errors by providing required jar files. These are the jar files that I added:

antlr-2.7.5H3.jar
asm-2.2.jar
cglib-2.2_beta1.jar
commons-collections-2.1.1.jar
commons-dbcp-1.2.1.jar
commons-email-1.0.jar
commons-logging-1.0.2.jar
commons-pool-1.2.jar
dom4j-1.4.jar
ehcache-1.2.jar
ejb3-persistence.jar
hibernate-3.2.0.cr1.jar
hibernate-annotations-3.1beta9.jar
jetty.jar (6.0.0beta17)
jta.jar
mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar
servlet-api-2.5.jar
spring-1.2.6.jar
wicket-1.2.jar
wicket-extensions-1.2.jar
wicket-spring-1.2.jar
wicket-spring-annot-1.2.jar

Perfect integration between Wicket - Spring - Hibernate August 7

Filed under Spring, Hibernate, Wicket by mozammel | 1 comment

Just started working on refining the integration frameworks (Wicket - Spring - Hibernate) with which I have already developed (with my team) two web applications and they are now online. Currently I’ve found two good resources, one is wicket phone book example at wicket-stuff, and another one is qwicket.
Keep an eye on this blog for further updates.
