I have no concrete plans, but a wishful thinking list: I am considering a marriage between HTMX for client side and Wicket for backend. But nothing concrete (or even in a proof of concept, just an idea in my head).
There are some hurdles to overcome with that approach: - wicket component identifiers and generated markup ids will prevent most of the currently used morphing algorithms to work properly, and probably also be a blocker for htmx - using htmx as front end assumes htmx is in the lead for issuing requests to the backend and wants to have a HTML response (which is not Wicket's way) - using hx-swap="append" or similar is not compatible with wicket's listview/dataview components that render everything - using idiomorph for replacing markup in an ajax swap will probably not work due to the new markup ids for components I also want to look to modernise the API and internals, using builders, automatic parameter resolving similar to JAXRS, etc. Make the renderer easier to embed in JAXRS Make Wicket and Quarkus work better together (and native compilation) Make Wicket's stateless support first class. And probably more than I can manage :D Martijn On Mon, Feb 2, 2026 at 1:22 PM Korbinian Bachl < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > is there any kind of ideas/ roadmap already? > > What serlvet level ist planned? 6.0? or 6.1? > > Will CDI be seen as core requirement? > > What about jQuery dependency and ajax? > > > > > > > ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ----- > > Von: "Andrea Del Bene" > > An: "dev" <[email protected]> > > Gesendet: Samstag, 31.
