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.

Subject: Re: Wicket in Action vs the other main books
David,
Wicket in Action describe how to integrate with Spring and Hibernate.
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.
