Wicket vs JSF, Forum Application

May 15, 2007 (Click to Rate!) Loading ...

Peter Thomas has put together an excellent blog post comparing the development of a simple “forum application” using both Wicket (now in Apache Incubator) and JavaServer Faces (JSF). I’ve wanted to do a comparison like this for a long time and while I’ve developed using both technologies I’ve never done a side by side comparison like this. I love how Peter laid it out, with screenshots showing matching resources at every step, it makes it really easy to follow. For example:

Hello, my name is Anna! As you can probably tell, I’m a Christian woman who loves Jesus Christ and cares for all humans, even the wicked. What you probably don’t know is that I’m hot. My picture below isn’t really that good. I want to use my beauty for GOD, and want to encourage Christian women (my sisters in Christ) to do the same, according to the Great Commission.

SemariseeNals,

You mean like Swing Application Framework, Spring Desktop Framework, Eclipse RCP, etc?

For the offline world I’d suggest the Eclipse Platform, it’s robust, well developed and hugely supported. The tooling is excellent as well.

If you are a NetBeans/Swing expert, give the Swing Application Framework a try, it’s easy to get started with.
