>(that includes *you* > too!) for improving this. "Apache Wicket is an Open-Source framework for creating highly dynamic, component oriented webapplications with ease as well as seperation of concerns in mind. Every Wicket component contains the HTML Markup (in an nearly unmodified HTML File), potentially needed resources (CSS and or JavaScript) as well as the logic in a POJO object - wich makes developing even in bigger teams a breeze. Therefore its based on basic Servlet technology and can be run in any Java 1.4 compliant webcontainer like Tomcat or Jetty. The big plus on wicket is its very OO oriented way of doing things which helps anyone with SWING background and gives a good learning curve compared to other Frameworks."
this would be my 2 cent for a short intro (you didnt specify how long it should be - if it should be longer then maybe put in: wicket cares for URLs, AJAX is quite easy and can be achived without a single line of JS written by yourself, very modular -> wicketstuff + wicketextension provide already a nice base to start with) Regards Korbinian > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Martijn Dashorst [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Dienstag, 22.
