Hello Erik, thanks for the speedy and informative reply. I just acquired the Tong PDF and I will cruise by B&N and pick-up the WIA book. The databinder.net may be LGPL but I do not see any source-code repo: SVN, HG, etc. so it is too risky for me to rely strictly on the jars that came with the demo examples. Thanks again, David.

Databinder.net is LGPL, you can choose and copy code you like. Updating selected code to recent wicket version should be fairly easy. Regards, Erik.
