Wicket and Spring

Posted by kinabalu on 20 Jul 2009 / 5 Comments


Wicket makes it very easy to integrate directly with the Spring Framework.

In any Component (Page, Panel, etc) to include a Spring bean you would do:

?View Code JAVA 
    @SpringBean
    private MyBean myBean;

In your application-specific Application class you would do the following:

?View Code JAVA 
import org.apache.wicket.spring.injection.annot.SpringComponentInjector;
 
...
 
   @Override
    protected void init {
        addComponentInstantiationListener(new SpringComponentInjector(this));
        ...
    }

If you’re using Maven for your build management, you would pull in these dependencies assuming wicket 1.3:

?View Code XML 
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.wicket</groupId>
            <artifactId>wicket-spring</artifactId>
            <version>${wicket.version}</version>
        </dependency>
 
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.wicket</groupId>
            <artifactId>wicket-spring-annot</artifactId>
            <version>${wicket.version}</version>
        </dependency>

Builds, tests and runs but when I click on the page link that uses the bean defined I get:

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named ‘masterDao’ is defined

David,

Can you provide your applicationContext.xml, web.xml, and any related code that might make sense here. The example you’ve commented on does not include a masterDao, so we’d need some context to help out.

Cheers!

How about some guide for what to put inside the web.xml and applicationContext.xml?

Just to add my Maven experience using wicket 1.4..10 and Spring 3.0.4

pom.xml file should look like this:

org.springframework
spring-core
${spring.version}

org.springframework
spring-web
${spring.version}

org.springframework
spring-jdbc
${spring.version}

and so on.

And this:

org.apache.wicket
wicket-spring
${wicket.version}

wicket-spring-annot is not needed
