RE: Anybody Using Wicket

["Schmidt, Mihael" <Mihael.Schmidt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

GWT: You code GWT in Java but the GWT compiler outputs Javascript which
is sent to the client. In the end you have a service layer with your
domain objects and the very thin gui layer of GWT. You could put a
facade between the gui layer and the service layer which transforms the
domain objects to objects for each gui type (in this case gwt).

I like Wicket a lot for its simplicity and to be able to have either a
clean HTML/CSS or one made by a HTML WYSIWYG editor. It works both.

Mihael,
Thanks! I like JSF to a point, but I don't like the lack of control I
have
over the HTML output. I tend to like to code my own HTML and CSS to make
it
look the way I want. I struggle a bit getting JSF to do this, but I've
only
experimented with it. That's where it looks like Wicket is a big winner.

I thought you had to code all the GWT stuff in Java. The only examples
I've
seen have been all Java code, no HTML, but maybe I'm missing something.
I do
tend to use JQuery or other libraries for visual effects.
