| I"K<p>The Apache Software Foundation announces Apache Wicket™ v7.0 Open Source Java web framework that powers thousands of web applications and web sites for governments, stores, universities, cities, banks, email providers, and more.</p> |
| |
| <p>The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of nearly 150 Open Source projects and initiatives, today announced Apache™ Wicket™ v7.0, the Open Source Java web framework for high performance, scalable, component oriented web applications. |
| This marks the seventh major release of the project that celebrated its 10 year anniversary last year.</p> |
| |
| <p>This framework allows Java developers to write web applications using components. |
| This way developers can reason about the user interface in user interface building blocks, making it easier to link specific user interactions to server-side code. |
| Wicket is a high performance framework processing billions of requests daily across the world.</p> |
| |
| <p>“With this release we have added a major improvement to our framework, making development with Wicket even easier.”, said Martijn Dashorst, Vice President of Apache Wicket. |
| “By adding ‘Component Queuing’ we have divorced the strict relationship between the Java component classes and the markup. This has been a headache for many users and sparked one of the longest discussions on our community lists. We finally put this issue to bed.”</p> |
| |
| <p>“Other major improvements are the move towards Java 7, newer Java EE standards, security features and the addition of new components. Wicket now bundles a cross site request forgery (CSRF) prevention measure, and provides support for inline images using the data: protocol,” continued Martijn Dashorst.</p> |
| |
| <p>Apache Wicket v7.0 reflects over 2 years of development, testing and feedback from hundreds of knowledgable users, bringing a highly stable, production ready release of the popular web framework. |
| The release consist of almost 300 features, improvements and fixes. In accordance with Semantic Versioning, this major release contains <a href="https://s.apache.org/wicket7migrate">several documented API breaks</a>. Following the Semantic Versioning standard, future minor releases of Wicket v7 will remain API compatible.</p> |
