Wicket is Killers!

Holy hell, this past assignment was on Wicket. And that was a lot to take in for one week. I had a lot of things going on this week: birthday parties and cleaning up for apartment inspection. So I really only had time on the weekend to work on this. Stupid!

I managed to finish almost the entire assignment. I didn't get the chance to apply any test cases and PMD was throwing errors that I ran out of time to fix. But the stack page does run and the stack functions do work properly.

Considering this was done within the last 36 hours, I thought I did pretty well. I can only imagine how much better (heh, maybe not much) it could have been if I was able to spread this out throughout the week.

Problems:

The most annoying problem I constantly ran into was Eclipse not closing the port properly. So when I would try to run the wicket app, it would give an error. I would have to completely exit out of Eclipse and come back in. Other than that, the only problem is really self-error. I constantly had to correct the java and html files so it would match structurally.

What I Learned:

Nothing.... nah nah. Wicket seems pretty powerful. I can't say much since all we did was use forms and tables in this assignment. But the fact that we were able to incorporate our Java code is pretty sweet. I was wondering when or even if it was ever possible. I can't bring myself to show off to family and friends a command-line program or even a generic GUI. It's just not that impressive. So it's good to know there's something like wicket that ties it all together.
