IT System Architect Telecommunications Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/2/2017 "I have been using Wicket for 6 years" 4/5 What do you like best about Apache Wicket? OOP and component based deign of the framework (Write once, use eveywhere) Ready-to-use components (e.g. wicket, wicket-jquery-ui and wicket-kendo-ui components) Designing elegant architecture is simplified by the use of Java 8 and functional programming! User guides and doccumentation. Active releases and Apache support. It is of course open-source, which helps you becoming master in Wicket. Bean validation, Spring injection and Spring security integration. Inherent protection against session fixation, request forgery, etc. Having the liberty to push the load onto client or server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache Wicket? Sometimes hacking with jquery-ui components can be daunting. Sometimes you need to override an internal method, but realizing that it is a final method is just frustrating.. Java code in pages and components might get messy after some time. You should search for the developer experiences and best practices for Wicket, before attempting to build a huge architecture... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Apache Wicket: Jump in the Wicket user guide and learn the basics. Build some simple pages at first. Then search for best practices before architecting an infrastructure. Wicket's internal working is very well documented. Read documents with full hearth, and see how the framework is designed. You will like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache Wicket solving and how is that benefiting you? It's a real web framework. When you use Wicket, you theoretically and practically don't need any other library to use (yet, making use of jqery-ui integration makes you happy). I think Wicket seems to be tailored for enterprise development, in which somebody needs to write a bunch of pages while the more experienced is developing the infrastructure...

JB Jakub B. Software Engineer / Project Manager Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/26/2016 "Well though object oriented Java view framework" 4/5 What do you like best about Apache Wicket? There are multiple things I love about the framework, but if I would have to point one, I would choose the object oriented approach to web application. This means for me that the logic isn't injected into the HTML but is instead a part of the Java code. The models allowing from retrieval of domain objects from different data sources. And as a last is the support for test driven development on multiple levels from the isolation on the component level and model level to the well thought support for integration testing and validating the generated html. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache Wicket? Relative verbosity of the framework. Relatively complicated integration with more complex javascript components created in other frameworks like Jquery-ui, though I must mention for lots of these components the integration already exists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache Wicket solving and how is that benefiting you? We implement a web application similar to the imbd.com for the purpose of larps. It contains possibility to add games, comment them and rate them. At the current moment we also work on implementing the calendar functionality for this product. The interesting parts is support for internationalization, with regards to supporting multiple languages of community interaction and automatical filtering based on your criterias. One of the important bonuses for us is the real possibility of reusing the components across projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JS James T S. R&D Engineer Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/23/2016 "Wicket can be a powerful ally" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Apache Wicket? Wicket lets the developer focus heavily towards their application logic rather than the vast technical minutia inherent to providing a web interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache Wicket? Wicket has a slightly steep learning curve and can't hide all the technology layers that combine to build a web-driven UI. Developers really need a fairly reasonable grasp of HTML, CSS and at least some Javascript if they're to bring out all of Wicket's merits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Apache Wicket: If you've got a Java-driven web application, investing in mastering Wicket could potentially save your developers a lot of time. If they've already mastered it, they can use it to rapidly prototype systems though to building enterprise-grade final products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache Wicket solving and how is that benefiting you? We use Wicket as it is depended-upon by an open source web application we've heavily extended. In this context we've been able to fairly easily get our product functional and productive. Our developers have had a few hours of confusion as they've fought their way through getting Wicket to do what they like, but thanks to reasonably good example material and documentation, it's saved us time. I'm especially happy to have no had to delve much in to handling browser quirks, Wicket's output functions very well for both Mobile and Desktop users of our platform.
