Wicket can be tweaked in every imaginable way either, but some things are easier than others. > and you have full control of what objects are stored on the session Even that is true for Wicket (see ISessionStore), though you'll always have to deal with some overhead. > With Wicket I can quickly start developing pages but it feels like I > need to think much harder about how to do things without filling up the > Session with data, Unfortunately, that's an assumption that many people make. But say that you're not worried about optimizing and one session means about 100kb (on the high side, as with optimizing in my experience you should be able to bring that to 15-30kb)... That means you can support 10,000 concurrent sessions with one gig of RAM. I think if there is anything a bit more tricky with Wicket compared to other frameworks, it is bookmarkability. To the upside, everything you do with Wicket is safe by default. The downside is that it is not bookmarkable by default. > since it tries much harder to be smart for you behind > the scenes.

Best thing about both is that they are component oriented frameworks. Big improvement over model 2 frameworks imho.
