yeah, maybe it doesn't need that. Pet store is kind of a best practices project, so I figured it might get in there. Databinder as an alternative would be cool with me too.

Guys,

I love spring and use it with all my wicket apps.  However, should it be a part of the main body of the manual?  I wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that wicket requires spring in any way.  Perhaps it would go into an "Advanced" or "Using wicket with other frameworks" section that could also include the use of Hibernate, Shades, JasperReports and whatever else.

At the very least, we should make it plain in the manual that spring is not required for the use of wicket, but that it's being used in the example app and in the manual for reasons X,Y, and Z.

Thanks,
