Wicket 1.4's Generics solution is highly controversial. We have opened a central page for comments and improvements. Discussion should be limited to the list! Click generics to see the page. |
This wiki is dedicated to documenting the Wicket Java application framework. Wicket takes simplicity, separation of concerns and ease of development to a whole new level. The wiki is currently open to new users and contributors; see the contribution page for more information. To download Wicket, please visit the Wicket site.
