What are the benefits of Wicket framework ?

Apache Wicket is a light weight component-based web application framework for the Java (conceptualy similar to JSF)

Why Wicket fremawork is used ?

1. Your HTML can be fully XHTML compliant

Separation of presentation and business logic and both are connected using "wicketid" in HTML through standard HTML tags.

We can have 2 separate teams : Web developer working on html/css/javascript and programmers working on Java code.

2. No XML config for any wicket components

Everything can be done in source and very little needs to be done to the standard web.xml for your .war

3. Component based development

Especially if you have a non Web development background like a Swing programmer, it would be more possible to reuse the components.
