I was actually thinking about that the other day...you're absolutely right on that point, it has to be externalized somehow. I don't see how Spring couldn't be used to compliment EJB 3.0 in the regard. Spring could be used to externalize modular resources, i.e. portlets whereas EJB3 could do what it does best...persistence and simple transaction demarcation. _______________________________________________ Wicket-user mailing list Wicket-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wicket-user
