Wicket as a web service framework

[Chris Davis <ch...@hullomail.com>]

Hi All,I am interested in using wicket as web service framework. We already
use it to serve a web and mobile
web browser application but now we have a need to open up the API for
other types of client and I think it would be great if I can leverage
a lot of the wicket work already done
like the authentication and form validation.

I see from this blog post that others have thought of this and indeed it shows
how to implement a simple web service, however Jonathan's comment below
makes a good point as I will also need to handle POST requests

So I am wondering if anyone has taken this further and perhaps we could talk
about how to best approach this strategy or perhaps you think I am
completely mad to even think about using wicket in this way in which case
please do say so.
