A simple wicket and terracotta example

Since the publication of the updated wicket terracotta plugin I have been working on a simple example app.

I decided to use the terracotta maven plugin, which means that you dont need to download anything, maven will do it all for you.

Simply extract the zip file and run

mvn tc:run

Then point your browser at http://localhost:8080/simple-wicket or http://localhost:8081/simple-wicket to see it in action.

You can read more about the terracotta maven plugin on this url

Edit:

I have corrected the typo pointed out to me. Just goes to show that you should test your code in a different user account to the one you have multiple versions of the same project installed in your local maven repo.

You can download the source code here simple-wicket1.zip

New years resolutions

Since today is the 1st of January, I have decided to start how I mean to go on and actually write in my blog regularly this year.  I haven’t decided how regularly yet but I think once every fortnight should be a good target to aim for.  So see you in two weeks!

Still no part 2..

Well a few weeks ago I wrote part one of my groovy testing post.  I still haven’t written part two.  This is because:

1. I’m lazy.
2. Half life 2 episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2 recently came out and they are great.
3. I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 7.10 which is also pretty good.
4. I’ve been writing Javascript at work for the past few weeks and as such have had no need to do any Java testing.  In doing this I have decided that Javascript is second only to Perl in evilness.
5. I have lent my groovy book to someone.

Well thats probably enough excuses for now.I will get round to doing it soon
