Basically his problem seems to be this whole J2EE hell which has nothing to do with wicket - like creating a webapp directory with a valid structure, add web.xml and so on.. I suppose VGJ got the point and there most certainly is work to be done so building web apps in Java doesn't intimidate

Before we moved to Java as our primary platform at work, I had done years of development w/ MS technologies and you can love or hate Microsoft, but the ease of which you're able to sit down and get to work is one thing they *have* gotten right. The fact that it takes four months to install

Anyhow, I might blog-up a little setup guide for new users for Windows and Linux using Wicket as the web framework. I'll try to do that this weekend as crunch-time will be over and I can breathe once again. Maybe you want to share the URL to your blog? If you - or anyone reading this - plan

It's pretty ghetto at this point and it's hosted on a dell server in my home-office, so I've been reluctant to take it seriously: http://zambizzi.blogdns.com/ It's built w/ Wicket + EJB3 on JBoss 4.0.4. The cable connection will make it sub-optimal for speed/scalability ;) It's pretty basic

Cool. A thing to consider is to use bookmarkable pages more, especially for the topics, but also for the blog details if you would implement that (one detail bookmarkable page, and a human readable parameter to the actual topic). Eelco On 5/23/06, Vincent Jenks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's

Be glad you didn't have to work with VS 2003, that one sucked. VS 2005 is much better; one of the things I like is the integration of (integration) testing. I think they did a nice job on that. Of course easy for them as they just support Windows/ IE. One of the things I hate most of working

I worked w/ vs.net 2002/2003 since the day each of them was released, 2002 for a long while before it was final. I actually quite liked it compared to Visual Interdev and the old vs 6.0 stuff. Of course, you're right - It's Windows-centric and doesn't allow the freedom. Once I dove into the

You're probably right. This was the first thing I ever built w/ Wicket and I'll usually do a small project in-parallel, at home w/ a big project at work so I can more quickly iron out any problems I might have. I plan on building more features into it, like the detail page (single blog entry on
