Category " Apache Wicket"

(Editor’s note: Tomasz Dziurko contributed this column from Code Hard Go Pro.) While developing web application with Wicket I sometimes need to check whether the user really, really does want to do something, for example to delete an entity from the database. The first and easiest choice that comes to my mind is to use [...]

Last week I was searching examples while working in integrating OpenID in a Java Web Applications and I found a very recent article (January 27th) on the IBM developerWorks. OpenID for Java Web applications, Part 1 by J Steven Perry offer a panoramic about OpenID in a modern web applications and uses Apache Wicket as [...]

Our Wicket based pastebin has gotten another plugin for pasting your content! A lot of the folks at Mystic love the Launchbar product for navigating the filesystem, launching applications, searching, and much more. After perusing the forums for Launchbar a bit ago we came upon a post detailing an applescript for posting to another pastebin [...]

I’m assuming all folks who were project owners received unfortunate news of the imminent shutdown of Project Kenai. Apparently after Oracle finished acquiring Sun, the Kenai fell under the bus. It’s unfortunate, as it seems like Project Kenai was the only easy way to get access to 3 different repository types, and a bevy of [...]

After following some of the debates raging about Apple’s new iPad and the future of Adobe’s Flash, the discussion usually turned to the coming future of HTML5. Seeing as we love Apache Wicket at Mystic, I thought I’d tinker around to see how hard it would be to start adding some support for the new [...]

After a recent week long training Mystic gave a week ago, one item that came up was the examples as posted on the official Wicket website are a version behind.

There are definitely times, that I wish I had easy access to the javadoc for something in the Wicket internals, without opening the IDE, or keeping my own local versions available. I usually resort to a quick Google search and unfortunately 9 / 10 I get a non-recent javadoc version. Today I’ve gone through and [...]

The Wicket Extensions package provides a neat component called the AutoCompleteTextField. In a nutshell, this allows you to provide a TextField with a List of Strings and when you start typing, the ones that match the input show up. This is a great component, but consider this scenario: You have a list of contacts, one [...]

It certainly has been an extremely fun year here at Mystic! Lots to come in the new year, and we wish all of you a safe and happy rest of the year. To our success!

Since comments were added many months ago, we’ve been meaning to make them a little more … pretty. So last night one of our guys spent a little time creating a custom component to represent a Gravatar. If you have a Gravatar go check out MysticPaste.com and play with the functionality. It’s simple, but fun. [...]
