hehe, I was already hoping for some reaction from you ;-)
The Cocoon servlet-service-framework allows to mount *any* servlet
(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/trunk/core/cocoon-servlet-service/cocoon-servlet-service-sample/src/main/resources/META-INF/cocoon/spring/cocoon-servlet-service-demo1-servletService.xml).
One of them is the Sitemap servlet which, as you might expect, exposes sitemaps.
Basically it shouldn't be a problem to load the Wicket servlet this way either
but the servlet-service-fw doesn't forward all the necessary environment
information.
I'm not sure what the real benefit of this integration is, but I want to give it
a try and find out myself. One thing that I can think of is the usage of the
servlet protocol to access Cocoon pipelines from within Wicket and vice versa.
This should make it possible to use Wicket instead of cForms in Cocoon applications.

Leszek, have you considered attending GT this year?
It would be great to see another Polish fellow in Rome.

count me in. I deep into Wicket currently (I always was more of web
*application* developer than web *site* developer.
Still in wicket I lack OOTB caching and pipeline handling (i.e. for
reporting).
It probably would be nice to create a wicket component that is able to
pass it's model to cocoon servlet and get the xml content in return.

Abroad? I thought you lived in Europe somewhere? I flew in from
California a couple of years ago (I can't believe it has been that long
already). It was my first time to Europe and I had a really good time.
Unfortunately I won't be able to go again this year, but I will see any
of you who can make it at ApacheCon US in November.

There's no such thing as dumb questions - if you're wondering, others
probably are too!

With the hackathon on 3rd and 4th, people often arrive during the
first day (and some the day before depending on travel budget). But
if there are no suitable flights morning/evening it would certainly
be good to arrive the day before. I'm sure many of us will be around
and available for beers :-)

I'm not sure on my flight plans, but I'd bet there will be others
arriving then.
> What about hotels? Can you recommend something?
I hope Gianugo or some of our Rome Cocoonistas will post some
suggestions ... Simone? Gabriele? Maurizio? PING! :-)
> Gosh... I'm little scared. ;)
You're going to love it - and Rome is a fantastic (multo bene) city
to visit!
Thanks,
Andrew.

Ok, I'm almost decided to see you at GT! :-)
However, I need to sort out some issues first with booking flights. I
have never been abroad and never have been to such event so please be
tolerant to my, most probably, dumb questions.
What are exact timings of each day? I guess that I'll have to arrive to
Rome on 02.10.2007 and leave on 06.10.2007 because I have no flights for
Wednesday morning and Friday evening. Does it make sense?
What are your plans? Anyone arriving on 02.10.2007 to the Ciampino Airport?
What about hotels? Can you recommend something?
Gosh... I'm little scared. ;)

Reinhard, thanks again for invitation!
I'm just calculating costs of such journey, but I guess thanks to my
participation to GSoC it's going to be affordable for me.
I'll post definitive informations soon.

Yes I hope so too! Would be fun to create wicket forms inside a cocoon application :-)

This seems like a very interesting topic. I'm currently looking into Wicket to get to know the framework a bit better. Reinhard if you are going to work on this at the GT I would like to team up with you and see how this can be made possible. :-)

What I would like to add is that our users already tried[1] to do so. I
don't know Wicket architecture so I'm not sure how hard it would be to
call pipelines from there. When it comes to Cocoon side, I believe that
modiciations to the current code would be minor. AFAIR,
BlockCallHttpServletRequest class already has access to the original
request so it can forward whatever is needed. It's matter of
implementind methods that would delegate to the original request.
You may find COCOON-2066[2] interesting.

Thanks for mentioning this. I remember now about this
"UnsupportedOperationException" issue on
ServletRequest.getLocale().
Indeed, that would be great to allow integration of Cocoon and
Wicket. Integration is already possible through the use of
servlets in web.xml, but of course having the power of sitemaps to
« mount » a Wicket application would be a plus.
However, this would require a dedicated URL space like /wicket/**
because Wicket has its own strategies for controlling the URLs.
Cheers,
