Comment on Wicket vs. Spring MVC by jb

I think this article is very biased and does not depict the whole picture. In reality, just like JSF, Wicket requires you to use special tags within the HTML. If you expect your web designer to know or learn wicket tags you are in for a surprise. I still think that using Spring MVC is much more powerful, as long as you don’t use it with JSPs but with a templating framework like Velocity or Freemarker. Those use true HTML templates (no special tags, special imports or whatever) which can be easily editable with Dreamweaver or whatever WYSIWYG tool your web designer uses.

On the other hand, if you still prefer to go for special tags in your ‘views’ (so long for pure HTML) JSF 2.0 is probably the way to go (which btw also considers JSPs obsolete) which uses the concept of Facelets (xhtml files with some special tags just like Wicket), with the difference that it is standard J2EE. You will be more likely to find developers who know that technology than wicket.

This blog post was from 2007. The easiest solution now is to grab the available VMware image with Oracle XE and tools ready to go from http://www.bertscalzo.com/page5.html. Of course you could convert this for Virtualbox or Parallels. For our project XE is not enough any longer in the development/build phase as we depend on features which are not being supported by XE.

“If you don’t want to change the settings for the database, you can use the NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, and NCLOB datatypes instead. Their default encoding is AL16UTF16.”

didn’t you mean VARCHAR2 instead of NVARCHAR2 here ?

I didn’t realize the download page didn’t show up any longer. Must have happened with a Wordpress update. I fixed the pages, so eventhough it is discontinued you can download it again.
