Thanks for the suggestion (to hit the Java Books, further), Per. I'm sure that is sage advice.
However, just to clarify... - I am aware that RadioChoice *is* a different Type than String - my question: how is a RadioChoice value converted back and forth with a String? - It appears (to me) that RadioChoice is a Wicket Class (hence my question to Wicket Forum) Regarding Learning Path... I am accustomed to jumping around when learning and when I came across Wicket, it appeared to be a superior way to incorporate Java in a web environment. Thus, I have not studied any of the Swing stuff that most of the books contain. IMHO, I think Wicket would be an outstanding paradigm from which to *teach* Java. After all, the web is a very probable deployment platform for new Java projects. If Wicket *is* the *way*, I think there is a huge opportunity to train and indoctrinate new Java programmers, using Wicket from the get-go. For me, what has been confusing has been distinguishing where Wicket is deviating from standard Java. I sense that it could all come together quite nicely (for a java newbie), if beginner 'Java, the Wicket Way' resources were available. Thanks - Scott Newgro wrote: > > Am Freitag, 18.
