At Mystic, we love our technology, and we love to evangelize the best of the best. We’ve been brewing a cauldron of new ideas, and the latest, is a series of articles surrounding building actual applications with the technology we love, and sharing how it was all done with you.
Our first feature: 5 days of Wicket!
- Day 1 – Setting up the Project
- Day 2 – Writing the Tests
- Day 3 – Designing the backend
- Day 4 – Designing the Wicket components
- Day 5 – Putting it all together
Each day this week will feature a new blog article with an in-depth look at the creation process behind setting up a Java project and implementing the frontend with Apache Wicket. Enjoy.

I love this five days of Wicket. It’s so cool!
I look forward to taking a look at what you come up with. I wanted to take a look at Wicket a few months ago and got frustrated and gave up. http://jared.blitzstein.net/?s=wicket
Jared, yes, definitely check back in the next few days, Day 4 should shed a lot of light on things if you have questions.
And if there is ever anything you’d like us to cover on the blog, drop me a line.
Cheers!
Just started a series on Wicket as well, see here. It’s about Wicket Patterns and Pitfalls. Hope you don’t mind puttin the link here.
Nice article! A good place for anyone to start off with spring, maven, wicket and testing.
Although, I believe an experienced team (3-4 people with some 5+ years of java/web experience) would pull those five days off in approximately one day!
Thanks for the comment!
And while we certainly could have pulled this into a single day of posts, it feels nicer to spread these out, let people try everything out, and integrate what they’ve learned.
For more in depth study, we also offer trainings, email us at: trainings@mysticcoders.com
Hello can you tell me where I can find the spring-test and spring-tx jar files? I have downloaded Spring and checked the dist/ directory but I do not see the jar files. I also cannot get them to download from the repository…
spring-test looks like it’s in the main maven distro here- http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/springframework/spring-test/2.5.5/
same with with spring-tx – http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/springframework/spring-tx/2.5.5/
Good luck!
