Jonathan,
Bingo, I think you may have hit it on the spot.
Igor,
I have not managed to get a reply on how they determined Struts2 to be
better supported compared to Wicket. But I suspect the list of a
approved technologies is not very updated. I.e. the evaluation was
probably done 2 years ago.
Thanks for all the responses. The anecdotes and points made were very
helpful and have helped out get out of my depression over the weekend.
And I have written a long and hopefully thoughtful reply to the
technical committee and will keep you guys posted.

honestly, your response is too thoughtful. these pointy haired bosses are
self-serving. they don't care about training costs or developer pain and
they don't really care if their org runs efficiently. what they care about
is that if there is a failure, their choice didn't cause it. which is why
the old saying goes "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM." same seems to
go for struts. an idiotic technology choice, but you won't get fired for
making the same idiotic choice everyone else is making.

The pointy haired bosses that do this believe in their heart of hearts
that if you choose the same technology everyone else is using that they
can turn thinking developers for mindless drones. It has more to do
with avoiding training costs and rational thought, and more to do with
trying to turn software development into an assembly line process.
Reality never fits this mold, but it doesn't stop the pointy haired boss
from trying. In this respect they are eternal optimists.

Hi,
We also had the same consideration when we chose Wicket. But why choose
an
inferior technology just because of it's Adoption Numbers? Also, Wicket
is
becoming more and more popular as people see the light :)
Check out Jobs Trends (Relative Growth) here (JSF vs Struts vs Wicket):
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=Struts%2C+JSF%2C+Wicket&l=&relative=1
We have a couple of hundred customers and so far the feedback is great
both from our Developers and our Software Architects. Customers like
that
the GUIs are faster due to the simplicity of Ajax Adoption in Wicket.
I also know that several large privately held companies in Sweden are
using Wicket, as well as large Government Agencies (e.g. the Swedish
Immigration Office).
Sincerely yours
Leo Erlandsson
