Rickety Wickets

For the past few days I have been investigating Apache Wicket for use in a application we are going to develop.

Apache Wicket is a good framework. Y have to develop all view components in Java, t HTML page is rendered using these components. Developing the HTML pages is very simple. For those who know it, web development will be a breeze.

One thing I did find it lacking is good online documentation. More effort on this front would help getting more developers on this framework.

There are so many frameworks and technologies to choose from. Developers and decision makers tend to make decisions based on good marketing than detailed analysis. Estimates are are based on historical data. They fail to consider time to get accustomed to developing in a new framework/ technology. Once the developer becomes fluent, technology and frameworks change.
