Ques 1

What is Wicket Framework?

Wicket is one of the most recent in a long line of Java web development frameworks.Wicket is a component-based framework, which puts it in stark contrast to some of the earlier solutions to the sometimes monotonous task of web programming.Wicket builds on top of Sun's servlet API. Wicket is mostly removed from the request/response nature that is inherent with the web and Servlets. Instead of building controllers that must service many users and threads simultaneously, taking in requests, returning responses, and never storing any state, the Wicket developer thinks in terms of stateful components. Instead of creating a controller or action class, he or she creates a page, places components on it, and defines how each component reacts to user input.

It is a lightweight component-based web application framework for the Java programming.

Ques 3

What are the Ways to create a page in wicket?

There are 2 ways to Create New Wicket Page.
1. create a Page Extending "WebPage" Class.
2. create a Page Extending  "BasePage" ( BasePage Should Extend "WebPage").

IF you are using first Way you should Create Whole page with thier Header,Footer and other parts
and that HTML file's content may be large (complicated).This is an Unreliable way to create Page. suppose you have to change some content in Header part then you have to edit all pages that having Header Content 

If you are using second way, first Create your BasePage then you can extend these page to other while creating new page. in that page you have to add only Body part (Content that you want to show on that Page) Using <wicket:child />

Ques 6

Dependency to start wicket.

<dependency>
<groupid>org.apache.wicket</groupid>
<artifactid>wicket</artifactid>
<version>1.4.17</version>
</dependency>

Wicket need SLF4J !
You have to include the slf4j logging implementation, otherwise Wicket will be failed to start.

Wicket need resource filter
Remember to add the resource filter, Wicket puts all files in same package folder, if you didn’t define the resource filter to include everything “<include>*</include>” , “html”, “properties” or other resources files may failed to copy to the correct target folder.

Ques 7

A sample web application using apache wicket.

In Wicket, most stuffs are work by convention, you don’t need to configure it. In this case, WebApplication returns a “Hello.class” as the default page, when Wicket see this “Hello.class“, it know the mark up “html” page should be “Hello.html“, and it should be able to find at the same package directory. This is why Wicket need you to put both “html” and “java” class together.

File : WelcomeApplication.java – The main application entrance.

package com.withoutbook;
 
import org.apache.wicket.Page;
import org.apache.wicket.protocol.http.WebApplication;
import com.withoutbook.hello.Hello;
 
public class WelcomeApplication extends WebApplication {
 
@Override
public Class<? extends Page> getHomePage() {
return Hello.class; //return default page
}
 
}

File : Hello.java

package com.withoutbook.hello;
 
import org.apache.wicket.PageParameters;
import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.basic.Label;
import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.WebPage;
 
public class Hello extends WebPage {
 
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
 
    public Hello(final PageParameters parameters) {
 
        add(new Label("message", "Hello World, Wicket"));
 
    }
}

File : Hello.html

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Wicket Hello World</title>
    </head>
    <body>
 <h1>
        <span wicket:id="message">message will be replace later</span>
 </h1>
    </body>
</html>

To make Wicket works, you need to register Wicket filters in your web.xml file.
