Anyhow, I promise to stand up towards any evil attacks. It's a good book
you're working with. I do have some comments and have found a few errors,
but I will mail them to you when daytime work is over.

So there will definitively be a reason to also get Wicket in Action when
it's released - it will target 2.0 if I'm not wrong.

Summary of Table Of Contents:
Pro Wicket gradually builds upon the concepts and examples introduced
in preceding chapters,
and therefore, in order to derive the most out of this book, it is
better read cover to cover.
Use this chapter outline for a quick overview of what you will find
inside.
Chapter 1, Wicket: The First Steps, helps you to quickly get started
with Wicket development.
You will develop your first web page using Wicket and then build a few
more to
get introduced to some of the core Wicket concepts like Wicket models.
Chapter 2, Validation with Wicket, shows how you can apply Wickets
built-in validation
support to your application pages. Here you will also learn about
Wickets
converters.
Chapter 3, Developing a Simple Application, introduces several
important Wicket
concepts like the global application object, session, etc., through
development of a
simple application. You cannot afford to skip this, as all the
remaining chapters use
the sample application that you will be developing in this chapter. It
discusses several
important concepts central to Wicket such as behaviors, different
flavors of Wicket
models, and support for authorization and authentication.
Chapter 4, Providing a Common Layout to Wicket Pages, goes into details
of the page
layout support in Wicket. In this chapter, you will learn to use
Wickets Border components
and markup inheritance to provide a consistent layout to your
application pages.
Chapter 5, Integration with Other Frameworks, first discusses how
Wicket integrates
with view technologies like Velocity and FreeMarker. Then it deals with
a topic Im sure
you must be really curious about: Wickets integration with the Spring
Framework. Such
a chapter cannot be complete without a discussion on EJB 3 - you will
learn how to
specifically integrate Hibernates EJB 3 implementation with Wicket
using Spring 2.0.
Chapter 6, Localization Support, outlines and explains Wickets support
for localization.
Localized text can be specified in resources external to the pages, and
this chapter
also explains the search mechanism employed by Wicket when looking for
localized
content. You will also learn about a couple of model classes that offer
help with
localization.
Chapter 7, Custom Wicket Components and Wicket Extensions, introduces
readers to
an area where Wicket really shines writing custom components. You will
also put to
use some of the existing Wicket-Extensions components in this chapter.
Chapter 8, Wicket and Ajax, discusses Wickets integration with Ajax.
You will learn
that, to a great extent, you could Ajax-ify Wicket web applications
without writing a single
line of JavaScript code. Wicket models Ajax support through a concept
of behaviors,
and you will be introduced to several flavors of built-in Ajax behavior
in this chapter.
Chapter 9, Additional Wicket Topics,starts off with a discussion on
Wickets built-in
support for unit testing. Next, you will get a sneak peek into the
features that will be
part of the next version of Wicket that is currently under development.
