Hi,
I am facing a hurdle that need crossing in my final attempt to push
Wicket for use in an organization.
I have:
1) Prototyped a small size module
2) Did 2-3 presentations on the key features and advantages of wicket
No one is disputing my claims about productivity and good OO code that
was the result.
BUT, the technology evaluation committee is NOT recommending Wicket
because of..... of all things.....
- Wicket's Low Adoption Rate!!!!
Can I find any numbers to blow this away?
My alternative is to accept the finding and work with Struts 2. Which
will mean the stack will need to expand to DWR
(for security). I REALLY don't want to go there, and am even
considering not taking part in this project due to the high risk
involved, only 9 months to introduce huge changes to a system that has
lots of legacy problems (took about 3 years to build). I think a lot
of those years were spent wrestling with the monster that is EJB 1.1.
The only way I thought the project can even be on time is to scrap the
entire presentation layer (aka Struts) and redo it in Wicket with 1
dedicated developer while the rest of the team work on killing the
beast that is EJB 1.1 by refactoring the biz code.
Sigh, my choices are stark. It's either to keep the job and plough
ahead and probably fail spectacularly 9 months later or go hungry and
explain to my wife why we need to spend less on the kid......
It's easy to blame the tech committee but they did help me find wicket
by rejecting my initial proposal to build the new system on a
(JQuery+JSON+REST) framework, which can be very productive as well, if
not as "clean" as Wicket.
Sorry for rambling so much. Is there any way I can demolish the silly
low adoption rate argument (omg I still don't believe it can be so lame)?

Hi Lester
Did you point out that someone like Gavin King recommends wicket (and
hence the Seam support for it) ?
It may help to convince about wicket's credibility.
hope it helps
