Hello, We really need advise from Apache Wicket experts. Please let me know if you have any ideas how to realize the following:
We are working on Orienteer (http://orienteer.org) - open source Business Application Platform for rapid development. Orienteer already has pluggable architecture which allow to start/stop/restart modules and etc. Every module can bring different things: new webpages, REST, wicket components and etc. For example: https://github.com/OrienteerBAP/Orienteer/tree/master/orienteer-pivottable But there is plans to allow dynamically upload required new module (without recompiling whole WAR with new module). To upload person can literally upload JAR or enter URL with the module or specify Maven's groupId:artifactId:version. There is no problem with downloading of module: there is a problem with runtime running it. Questions: 1) Is there good way for substitution of your own ClassLoader for more dynamic management? 2) Is there a way for restarting of wicket app without restarting a web-container? 3) Related to p.1: any good experience with using this: https://github.com/kamranzafar/JCL ? 4) Any other suggetions how to make dynamically pluggable modules in wicket?
