This has been a great walk-through so far however I am not following why all of the values you stated to use are required. I will have to do more reading on how maven works before I think I will understand all of this.

Thanks for writing this series, I look forward to hitting the other parts next.

@Geezenslaw : Wicket community is really good at answering these types of questions. The mailing list and ##wicket on freenode IRC are your best bet, you'll get an answer guaranteed.

Great idea. I’ve read the same from Dashorst. And, I even tried it myself:
* I created a completely 100% pure HTML/CSS tabbed/submenu set of web pages I borrowed from the: ics-wicket-examples @code.google. Static but worked as designed.
* I then migrated bullet #1 over to a 100% Wicket (1.4.1) app which worked great.
* Failure: attempts to include anything more than Hello World in the of one of the sub-menus only leads to a StackOverFlow Exception.
* So where is the Love?

@James Carman; I used to be a big fan of Spring’s PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer but ever since I started using maven I don’t find it as useful as maven’s filters, using either a filters file as explained here, or by having multiple profiles in the pom for the different deployment layers with each profile specifying the properties.

The biggest gripe I have with the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer is that you can only have one PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer bean. And it’s not well documented.

With maven’s filter files you can have as many as you like.

The other reason I prefer maven’s filters is that with them you can do a ‘mvn package’ and then poke around in the target directory and eyeball the filtered config files and see what it did. With Spring’s PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer you don’t find out what’s been substituted until the app is started.

There shouldn’t be any issue using Postgres instead. We use Hibernate so you’ll just have to change the dialect and login details and you should be all set. If you run into anything else, please let us know.

Thank you for these great tutorial!

Can you please tell me if I use another database instead of Postgres, will I have any problem following the tutorial?

Thanks

It seems this post is missing the applicationContext.xml file contents, making it NOT an end-to-end example. I’d love to see what’s in there.

Perhaps you’ve included it in the archetype, but you’ve covered many other files here that are in the archetype, too.
