Hi Martin, >I have actually been thinking that [Wicket] is an MVC framework.
Looking at all the other MVC web frameworks I'm glad it isn't. What issues are you trying to solve actually? Sven Am 14.12.2011 09:12, schrieb Martin Makundi:
Hi! Today I have learned about a huge misconception I have had about wicket 1.4. I have actually been thinking that it is an MVC framework. But it is practically not. Why? Wicket's request cycle and serialization process makes effortless MVC design almost impossible. It seems like wicket is just an "MVC proxy", via IModels. Maybe it's just my mistake, but maybe it is also a design issue in wicket. Don't know yet. Nevertheless, I am trying out a new approach where model and wicket are more strictly decoupled: wicket will only render what is managed in a non-visual model that has a some sort of "facade" representation which can be iterated and rendered. So it will be: Wicket (View)<-> Facade<-> (Model, Controller) Until now I have been wronlgy assuming that wicket can manage the lifecycle of Model, View, Controller, but it truly becomes a mess with serialization issues and complex logic.
