Latest Wicket Core Examples available via Simple URL

by kinabalu on January 30, 2010

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. Available here: http://www.wicketstuff.org/wicket13/.

Enums internationalization with Wicket

October 6, 2009

(Editor’s note: Olivier Croisier contributed this column from YesWicket.)
Enums are a convenient way to represent finite collections of elements : seasons, week days… As a consequence, they frequently need to be input or displayed in web applications – and it better be in a I18N-aware way.
