This is a very good question. Let me explain my point of view:
* From a Wicket application developers perspective:
Pros:
1. Separation of concerns: Move all business logic to the "Seam
layer". So Wicket code manages only the view.
- For example: You can develop many "Wicket views" (html, wml, ..)
all they bounded to the same loosely coupled "Seam layer"
2. Easy decoupled access to EJB3.0, JNDI Resources, Web Services and
JBPM Engine.
Cons:
More dependencies, more layers (this is not a con from my view, but
may be for others)
* From a Seam application developers perspective:
Pros:
1. Kicking off JSF and use the great Wicket component model.
Cons:
1. JSF is well known and has many component libraries, but Wicket is a
new API to learn.
* About WebBeans JSR-299:
I Think it will be the final standard solution for these things, but
i thought the same about JSF and some years after it, i am moving to
Wicket now. :)
Cheers,
Frank.
