#apachewicket — Public Fediverse posts

The past couple of years have I been working with Apache Wicket (https://wicket.apache.org/). I am very satisfied with Wicket.

Unfortunately there is not a lot of buzz around it lately. We are trying to breathe new life into it. So on 1 April we are organizing a user day in Dordrecht, NL. Do I see you there? (Sorry about the tracking parameters, but without these the link does not work 😞 ) https://www.meetup.com/wicket-enthusiasts-europe/events/313524866/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=announce_event&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2&member_id=479250162

#wicket #apacheWicket

Request for comments/trying out stuff...

https://github.com/dashorst/quarkus-wicket

It is not published yet to quarkiverse, so you need to build it yourself for now.

gh repo clone dashorst/quarkus-wicket && cd quarkus-wicket && mvn install

and then you can craft your first quarkus & wicket application using the quarkus commandline:

quarkus create app --maven --java=21 --code --extensions=io.quarkiverse.wicket:quarkus-wicket:999-SNAPSHOT org.acme:acme

Check it out and let me know wydt!

#ApacheWicket #quarkus

So I have almost finished a working 1.0 quarkus extension for #ApacheWicket

I am trying to get the codestart to put an html file in a package folder structure. When that is done, it should work for starting to discover what a quarkus and wicket combination has for limitations and possibilities.

When you can generate a working wicket quarkus app it's time to weite some docs etc and release it to a grander audience.

See https://github.com/dashorst/quarkus-wicket for the code.

Probably when I arrive at internationalization I will be screaming for #ApacheWicket. For now working with quarkus + qute templates feels a lot like developing a Model 2 web application from 2004.

Nothing makes you appreciate #ApacheWicket more than having to implement a data table with paging, dynamic sorting, dynamic columns and dynamic filtering.

For the next Friends of OpenJDK (Foojay.io) @foojay :foojay: #Podcast, I talked with @marcushellberg (#Vaadin) and Martijn Dashorst (#ApacheWicket) about web development with #Java, including #Thymeleaf and #htmx. Do you really need a JavaScript framework? Why would you not just stick to Java and use one of its many great libraries?

@dashorst BTW how popular is #ApacheWicket these days? I wrote a few applications in it around 2010 and it was extremely productive with fantastic unit testing support. The component model was way ahead of its time

PSA: If you use Eclipse, and develop #ApacheWicket applications, you really should install the qwickie plugin. Make sure you get the 1.2.0 version though.
