Apache Wicket Reviews & Product Details

The biggest appealing of Wicket is that is a Java based framework. Learning how to use the templates is easy and takes of the learning curve of javascript our typescript technologies. Some of the features that i most liked were: litte configuration, maven support, integration with spring, the fact is a component oriented framework, easy control on the templates, the model and forms and how easy is to integrate with java beans, out of the box components like check box's, radio-buttons etc, localization, web-sockets just to mention some.

It lacks of the maturity, power and robustness that frameworks like Angular give. On the other hand the learning curve of these technologies are much higher.

The power that type script languages can bring is huge. Another thing that i think is negative has to do that there is no clear separation of front and backend creating a big dependency on a webserver to deploy it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wicket makes it quick and easy to set up customized web apps. The templating is very nice, and it has implementations of pretty much any web component you could possibly want, and lets you override and customize classes for components not supported out of the box Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the hooks are a little difficult to use. Adding custom CSS and JS to a page isn't exactly straightforward, and integrating with JQuery was kind of a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DSL is pretty nifty. Component-based testing is made very easy as the number of components are equal to the number of modules that are present. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
