According to Wicket s developers, Wicket improves on other component-based web frameworks in several ways:
No XML configuration files.
Wicket pages can be mocked up, previewed, and later revised using standard WYSIWYG HTML design tools.
Dynamic content processing and form handling is all handled in Java code.
