I started to work with wicket few months ago. I obtained the book Enjoy web development with wicket, which was very usefull. However I still would appreciate more about models. May I find more in your book? and what you would say is the main contribution from your book, in comparison with the mentionned book?
thank you

I am very happy that EWDWW is out and provides an alternative to Pro Wicket, and Wicket in Action. As books go, not every book is everybody's cup of tea. I haven't read EWDWW, just glanced through the first 4 chapters. My personal opinion is that it is not my cup of tea. I like the Manning in Action series (have the series almost complete ), and enjoy the general writing style of those books.

Wicket in Action is written by two of the core committers who have been active since the framework went open source. Usually having techno folks writing a book is a bad idea, but fortunately Manning has a very good staff of editors that have helped us with making the book a good read. We try to keep the tone light, and go a bit deeper than just telling you what to do, but also why.

Wicket in Action contains a full chapter on models (in the MEAP chapter 5, in the final book chapter 4). It covers most if not all stuff you want to learn about models: dynamic versus static models, property models, compound property model, detachable models and nesting models.
