Description

Wicket shares the same philosophy as Waffle (embeddable, pure Java, no XML) and has a wide community support.

From users' point of view the only change would be extend a Wicket Application class to specify configuration and steps instances, instead of a Waffle Registrar.

A doc page should help in migrating from Registrar to Application class.

Description Wicket shares the same philosophy as Waffle (embeddable, pure Java, no XML) and has a wide community support.

Users would extend a Wicket Application class to specify configuration and steps instances, similarly to what done with Waffle Registrar.

I have no preference one way or another (Wicket vs Waffle). If you are looking for same features in an action-based framework, then I would suggest Stripes or Play. Component-framework vs Action-framework doesn't really matter to me.

Brian, Wicket is not a pure MVC framework, but more a component-oriented one. It plays very nice with Java and rich-client features are
easier than in other action-based frameworks. Other factors influencing the choice of framework are the community base and the documentation,
both of which are very wide for Wicket.
