On February 4th I gave a talk at the London Wicket User Group. These are all the materials that you can download to get started with Scala and Wicket today!

If you want to attend one of the Wicket User group meetings in London, just visit the jWeekend site and register there. It’s really cool to attend, there is a good atmosphere and nice and smart people everywhere…

Wille Faler released Wicket RAD 0.6, a rapid application development framework for Wicket. This release also includes my FeedbackLabel, a component feedback label for more userfriendly forms.

Major points in this release:

• Various bugfixes, including an inheritance bug with JPA annotated classes.
• Convenience implementations of Bean Forms in the org.wicketrad.propertyeditor.form package.
• ListQueryModel and UniqueResultModel IModel implementations in wicket-rad-jpa module
• Experimental wicket-rad-user module for user management (may change or be entirely removed in the future depending on feedback).

Geertjan wrote about the Wicket plugins for Netbeans. With just a few simple steps you have a running Wicket application, with all the AJAX you can get.

He titled his blog post: AJAX: Can it get better than this…

Instant Wicket goodness for Netbeans!

Nino Martinez Vazquez Wael did an update on his OpenLayers integration for Wicket. Looks really nice. The communication to and from Wicket is handled for you, so this is a very easy way to add maps to your Wicket applications.

Richard Wilkinson just released a new version of Terracotta integration for Wicket.

From his blog:

The code will now automatically configure your application to use the correct page store, with a default of 100 pages history per page map. If you need to override this value then you can override the the newSessionStore method in your WebApplication class, as in the previous version (see this post).

I should try this out soon! Terracotta and Wicket should be a nice combination.
