Wicket core developers have done a wonderful job with this framework and they continue to improve it release after release. However Wicket never provided a freely available documentation and even if you can find many live examples and many technical articles on the Internet (most of them at and at Wicket in Action), the lack of an organized and freely available documentation has always been a sore point for this framework.

That’s quite an issue because many other popular frameworks (like Spring, Hibernate or Struts) offer a vast and very good documentation which substantially contributed to their success.

For those who need further documentation on Wicket, there are available for this framework.

Hope you’ll find this guide helpful. Have fun with Wicket!

PS: this guide is based on Wicket 9. However if you are using an older version you should find this guide useful as well, but it’s likely that the code and the snippets won’t work with your version.
PPS: although we try to do our best working on this guide, this document is a work in progress and may contain errors and/or omissions. That’s why any feedback of any kind is REALLY appreciated!
