Hi, I did one Project with JSF and two with Wicket.
By far Wicket is much easier to handle, (nearly) everything works as supposed, which is not true for JSF, especially when it comes to external Libraries like Trinidad or other UI Extension Libraries. One other thing which is important for me is the Productivity. And this is much higher with Wicket than with JSF. The Community support is suberb with Wicket, and somewhat difficult when you check the JSF Forums, but this depends on the Manufactor of the Library you use. I don't want to slash JSF here, but I find it is miles away from a usable Product. For me it looks more like a prototype of what could be possible. Just check what happened from 1.1 to 1.2, and you see, that even Sun seemed to face this. Regards, Timm Am Mittwoch, 6.
