More Warped Wicket

Earlier this year I wrote a post on integrating wicket and warp persist, and I thought it was about time I posted an update, but this time I included working example projects.

The first project is a basic wicket / warp persist setup with hibernate and an apache derby database.  It allows you to persist the Event class used in the hibernate examples.

wicketwarp.zip

The second project is the same, but also makes use of warp-servlet for hooking up all your other servlets and filters in guicy way.

wicketwarpservlet.zip

In both cases i’ve tried to keep xml configuration down to a minimum, as I hate xml config.  So the hibernate classes are configured with hibernate annotations.  Wicket itself involves no xml configuration as always.

As warp persist and warp servlet are not in a maven repository (as far as I know) you will need to manually add them into your maven repository in the normal way.

Thoughts, Code patches, Comments, etc are welcome.

August update

Just thought that I should write something on here as i’ve been really lazy since i started my new job, so here is a list (we all love lists right?) of what i’ve been up to, in no particular order.

• New job, we already know that.  But it turns out that if you mention the company name, then it turns up in a google alert at work and everyone reads your blog.  Well not everyone, but some people.  Lucky theres nothing incriminating on here
• Went to see former zoomf college’s band play in the legendary (apparently) Hope and Anchor, and they were quite good.  You can check them out at http://www.myspace.com/thecommissarsmusic.  And now i’ve mentioned zoomf, they are gonna see this in a google alert too.
• Went to the august london wicket user group, talked about wicket and geeky stuff in general, and drunk beer, the usuall really.  Wicket RAD looks like a really nice project for speeding up application development, if you don’t mind annotations.
• Went on Team Fortress 2 for the first time in ages, and I still kick ass

Thats about it, all the interesting stuff anyway.  I will get round to writing another technical post soon, provided I can think of something worthwhile to write about.
