Upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5: timeframe?
Hi all,
I'm finally coming up on upgrading from 1.4.19 to 1.5. To manage my projects
better, could anybody comment on how long it took them to upgrade? I know it
depends on how "complicated" your application is, but as a general
guideline, does it take minutes, days, months?
Thanks,
Natalie

It took me roughly 3 weeks to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.5. The biggest
problems to deal with were:
(a) Pages no longer cacheable, which makes the app sluggish. (Maybe
this was already the case in 1.4.)
(b) The new version numbering scheme that's exposed in the URL, ?4
?5, ... which looks awful if you like clean URLs.
(c) A bug in cookie handling, which took several days to report:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-4358
My solution for (a) and (b) was to move to static pages. This took
some time, but I think static pages bring other advantages, so it was
probably time well spent.

Getting your application to compile depends on how exotic your Wicket
customizations are. Most things can be solved within a couple of hours
(changed imports, minor compile conflicts). The biggest issue will
probably be getting your application to run without generating errors.
The markup parser is a bit stricter and will give errors more often.
Fortunately 1.5 is now stable and won't change API wise, which is a
far cry from 1 year ago when the software of our company migrated to
1.5 from 1.4.

Hi,
I haven't done any migration myself (started on 1.5), but while reading
this list, I noticed a number of users having issues with page mountings
and page versioning.
Try the following query for more hints:

In my experience an upgrade should be possible in 4 hours to 4 days
depending on the complexity of your application.
