Just glancing at your link for a few seconds, and reading the earlier comment that it looks like ASP.NET with VS.NET, I would guess that Web Objects provides a library of components that you can paint onto your pages, automatically generating the custom tags in your HTML file.
Suppose you are customizing a component by setting many properties, and using it with those settings on fifty different webpages. In Wicket, I can create a method which instantiates a web display object, sets its properties and returns it. I can then call that method every time I want to instantiate a web object with those settings. What facility does Web Objects provide that lets you avoid having to re-set those properties fifty times? (Isn't the inconvenience of adding slightly-customized variations of components to the toolset the reason most Swing GUI programmers end up building their GUI in code instead of using some IDE's graphical GUI-painter?) /Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anders Peterson Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 12:51 PM To: wicket-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Wicket-user] WebObjects open source? Not sure what to say... it makes me productive... It's not really fair to compare Wicket and WebObjects (WO). WO is a whole package of frameworks and tools that function well together (but can be used independently). Wicket needs team mates to replace WO entirely. With Wicket any html and java editors will do just fine. This is generally a good thing (I think) but it's also a restriction. With WebObjects the tools are part of what makes the package great: Start up the WOBuilder tool, create a WODisplayGroup instance and start (visually) combining WOComponents and binding them to data. It's fast and intuitive... /Anders http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/Conceptual/WO53_WOBu ilderGuide/ http://developer.apple.com/documentation/webobjects/Reference/API/com/we bobjects/appserver/WODisplayGroup.html http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Webobjects/Reference/API/com/we bobjects/appserver/WOComponent.html Eelco Hillenius wrote: > :) It's one of my favorite parts of Wicket, so sure. > > What about the strong points of WebObjects, what are the things you > really like about that? > > Eelco > > On 8/29/06, Anders Peterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Sure, if it has to be just like Wicket to compete; you win. ;-) >> > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
