Hi there, We are evaluating libraries like ExtJs or SmartClient to build the application. This sort of deviates standard wicket paradigm as most of the responses will be in json or xml format and will not need .html file associated with it.
Personally I don't like idea of such kind of applications, but admittedly some of the widgets these libraries provide are very good and in many of the cases all we have to do is provide proper datasource. Will wicket be good choice for backend of such kind of applications. We already have some services in our wicket application that does generate json responses etc, so it's certainly possible. Another concern I have is security - which might be mute concern. My understanding (which is almost nothing) of wicket security is, security is applied on page level or request level as it uses servlet filters and really does not care what kind of output request is generating or whether it has corresponding html page or not. Is this right understanding? For the calls these libraries will be making, we need to make sure we don't serve the data if user is not signed in etc. Just wanted to gather what others think before we finalize the decision.
