Just got hit with this error:

And regrettably I spent a lot of time searching through Javascript in mootools javascript, and the small 2 lines of javascript Wicket adds to the page. Finally, I decided to actually google the error (which I should have done immediately).
Low and behold, because I was inlining some Javascript for […]

The writing has definitely been on the wall for some time now. All the “agile” frameworks out there picking on Java and its love affair with XML had an effect. More and more projects have sprung up that tout one of their prized features, no XML required.
Wicket (currently undergoing incubation with Apache) is […]

Qwicket is an easy and fast solution for creating your next project with Wicket. Right from the website, you can create an account (if you’d like to save your work as you go), and add beans to your project directly from the UI.

I could go into a long process on how to create an ant plugin, integrate it with Growls’ Java bindings, and have a […]

I will be preparing a full tutorial on building a simple but functional application using Wicket. Here are two applications which were built in a very short amount of time, with the very simple framework.
Pastebin is homage to the several applications built before it, and was built in a few hours time at most. […]

Thanks goes to Xgc in #mysql on freenode for showing me this little one-liner. We needed to add a unique key to one of our tables, and a duplicate was in our midst. Enter this handy one-liner:
SELECT field1, count(*) FROM tbl1 GROUP BY field1 HAVING count(*)>1;
problem solved, a nice simple list of […]

After using several of the web frameworks that are prevalant in the java world, I do believe I’ve finally found a virtual nirvana.  Here at Mystic, we’re doing lots of development with Wicket,  a java web application framework that “takes simplicity, separation of concerns and ease of development to a whole new level.”
So what […]
