That's great, glad to hear Wicket has improved the landscape of Java web
frameworks. What is great about Grails (and potentially Grails+Wicket) is
that it spans all tiers, Wicket seems to be helping improve the web layer
experience for Java web frameworks which is excellent. If only we didn't
need persistence ;-)

Cheers
Graeme
