Wicket in Action vs the other main books
Hello Wicketers, I am in the throes of a decision to buy the Wicket in Action book. There are a couple of other books but the little time I have lurked on this ML I have noticed the Wicket-in-Action authors are fielding some of the issues on this list. The reason I need to hit Wicket as hard as I can is I have already dismissed 3 other MVC frameworks that I have evaluated over the past two weeks. I have also evaluated 3 end-to-end MVC frameworks based on Wicket. End-to-end means: (HTML UI)(Java POJO middleware)(Hibernate|iBatis)(MySQL). I have dismissed all of the so-called end-to-end MVC frameworks except: databinder.net. The databinder.net framework is a great piece of software based entirely on Wicket and Hibernate. The only caveat is databinder.net appears to no longer enjoy a community type support. And, in fact, databinder.net does not seem to be supported in any way including the original author. So, betting the farm on databinder.net is problematic and this brings us to the question of: does the Wicket in Action book (or any Wicket book) discuss the coupling together of Wicket and something like Hibernate or iBatis to a restructured database for the purposes of rewriting an existing web app. The current web app run-time for the company I am working for was written using a code-generator. The name of the code-generator referenced in the previous sentence is not known. The original programmer that authored the original run-time web app has flown-the-coop. Rants and Raves welcomed. Please advise, David.

David,
Wicket in Action describe how to integrate with Spring and Hibernate.
Databinder.net is LGPL, you can choose and copy code you like. Updating
selected code to recent wicket version should be fairly easy.
Regards,
Erik.

You probably shouldn't base your evaluation of a book on how good any
specific topic is explained there, unless this specific topic is one
and the only thing you are interested in. You will most probably still
have to spend some time researching whatever you're insterested in on
the web. Still, Wicket in Action is afaik the most recent piece, and
certainly comes from the most experienced in Wicket authors, which is
good regardless of what solutions you're going to use for your
business layer.
