| <h1>Features</h1> |
| <h2 id="pojo-component-model">POJO Component Model</h2> |
| |
| <p>Pages and Components in Wicket are real Java objects that support |
| encapsulation, inheritance and events.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="ease-of-development">Ease of Development</h2> |
| |
| <p>Because Wicket is Java and HTML, you can leverage what you know about Java or |
| your favorite HTML editor to write Wicket applications.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="separation-of-concerns">Separation of Concerns</h2> |
| |
| <p>Wicket does not mix markup with Java code and adds no special syntax to your |
| markup files. The worlds of HTML and Java are parallel and associated only by |
| Wicket ids, which are attributes in HTML and Component properties in Java. |
| Since Wicket HTML is just HTML and Wicket Java is just Java, coders and |
| designers can work independently to a large degree and without relying on any |
| special tools.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="secure">Secure</h2> |
| |
| <p>Wicket is secure by default. URLs do not expose sensitive information and all |
| component paths are session-relative. Explicit steps must be taken to share |
| information between sessions. Furthermore URL encryption allows highly secure web sites.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="transparent-scalable-clustering-support">Transparent, Scalable Clustering Support</h2> |
| |
| <p>All Wicket applications will work on a cluster automatically and without |
| additional work. Once bottlenecks are understood, Wicket enables tuning of |
| page state replication. The next version of Wicket will support client-side |
| models for zero-state scalability.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="transparent-back-button-support">Transparent Back Button Support</h2> |
| |
| <p>Wicket supports configurable page version management. When users submit a |
| form or follow a link from a page they accessed with the back button in their |
| browser, Wicket is able to revert the page object to the state it was in when |
| the page was originally rendered. This means you can write web applications |
| that support the back button with very little work.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="multi-tab-and-multi-window-support">Multi-tab and multi-window support</h2> |
| |
| <p>Wicket provides an easy way to write application that supports multi-window |
| and multi-tab usage allowing developer to react properly when users open new |
| browser window or tab</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="reusable-components">Reusable Components</h2> |
| |
| <p>Reusable components in Wicket are particularly easy to create. Not only can |
| you extend existing components with the Java extends keyword, but you can |
| also create Panel components which associate a group of components as a |
| reusable unit.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="simple-flexible-localizable-form-validation">Simple, Flexible, Localizable Form Validation</h2> |
| |
| <p>It is trivial to write and use validators in Wicket. It is also quite easy to |
| customize and localize the display and content of validation error messages.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="typesafe-sessions">Typesafe Sessions</h2> |
| |
| <p>Wicket eliminates the need to manage HttpSession attributes by hand. Page and |
| component objects are transparently stored in the session and your |
| application can create a custom session subclass with typesafe properties as |
| well. All objects stored in the session can automatically participate in |
| clustering replication.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="factory-customizable">Factory Customizable</h2> |
| |
| <p>Wicket is very extensible. Most operations are customizable through factories |
| or factory methods.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="detachable-models">Detachable Models</h2> |
| |
| <p>Model objects in Wicket can be very lightweight in terms of memory and |
| network use in a cluster. When a model is used, it can “attach”, populating |
| itself with information from persistent storage. When the model is no longer |
| in use, transient information can be reset, reducing the size of the object.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="border-components">Border Components</h2> |
| |
| <p>Wicket Border components enable the decoration of pages in a reusable |
| fashion. This is especially useful for inheritance of common navigational |
| structures or layout.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="support-for-all-basic-html-features">Support for All Basic HTML Features</h2> |
| |
| <p>Wicket supports image tags, links, forms and everything else that you’re used |
| to using in your web application development.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="programmatic-manipulation-of-attributes">Programmatic Manipulation of Attributes</h2> |
| |
| <p>Wicket Components can programmatically change any HTML tag attribute.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="automatic-conversions">Automatic Conversions</h2> |
| |
| <p>Once a Form validates, the model can be updated using Wicket converters. Most |
| ordinary conversions are built-in and it is easy to write new converters.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="dynamic-images">Dynamic Images</h2> |
| |
| <p>Wicket makes image use, sharing and generation very easy. Dynamic images can |
| be created by simply implementing a paint method.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="pageable-listview">Pageable ListView</h2> |
| |
| <p>ListViews in Wicket are extremely powerful. You can nest any kind of |
| component in a ListView row, even other ListViews. PageableListView supports |
| navigation links for large lists.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="tree-component">Tree Component</h2> |
| |
| <p>Out of the box tree component for navigating and selecting nodes.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="localization">Localization</h2> |
| |
| <p>HTML pages, images and resource strings can all be localized.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="examples">Examples</h2> |
| |
| <p>Wicket has numerous examples showcasing all of the above features.</p> |
