Fwd: [Wicketwebbeans-users] databinder.net where are you?

[Dan Syrstad]

Please note that the new mailing list address is wicket-w...@googlegroups.com. WWB has moved to Google Code.

Databinder is maintained by Nathan Hamblen (not by the WWB project) and you can find the official site at http://databinder.net. Like WWB and other Wicket projects, Maven is used as the build tool. You can find all of the artifacts for the project in its maven repository. For example, Databinder's base repository is at http://databinder.net/repo and one of the source jars (there are several) is http://databinder.net/repo/net/databinder/databinder-models/1.2.1/databinder-models-1.2.1-sources.jar. So the source is freely available.

Databinder is just one kind of persistence integration that was done with WWB. Databinder seems to be a popular framework to use with Wicket, so it was kind of natural that WWB provide some support for it. However, the support for it is completely separate from WWB proper. You can use whatever you want for persistence - WWB does not require databinder. I personally used WWB and iBatis on a project I was on and everything integrated smoothly.

Hope this helps!

Hello WWB'ers dev, gurus and mortals, I am in the unenviable position of a new gig with a sizable existing (or legacy?) enterprise web app. My predecessor used a code-generator to create the web app. The code-generator output was java source/class files. The code-generator tool is unknown. The worst part is the code-generator also created all the tables and views for the persistence. The final analysis: the entire web app is not humanly maintainable. The database created is more of a repository instead of a database (800+ tables and views with no PKs or FKs). HTML page view snippets are stored in the database. All logging is to the database. Needless to say I am in need of a very good framework to replace the current run-time web app. I thought I had found the perfect solution to a RAD MVC framework with the discovery of databinder.net and wicketwebbeans. The only problem is if I re-build the current web app with WWB and databinder the resulting framework web app will not be
 maintainable from a source level. If something changes: JDK, JVM, Hibernate or MySQL I run the risk of a broken web app without recourse to fixing the issues with the luxury of the source code level build. I have tried the databinder.net git URL but all I get is: connection refused. There seems to be no source repository in spite of the fact that databinder.net is supposedly: LGPL. Is WWB maintaining databinder? If not what is the future of WWB. I could ostensibly build everything using just Wicket and Hibernate but I was just hoping to give myself a leg up on the job-at-hand with WWB and databinder. Please advise, David.

The first hit while searching on my favorite search provider is/was
http://wicketwebbeans.sourceforge.net/.
When new user hit this page, they can't find a sign that it's
relocated.
So they look in sf.net and find that wwb is dead.

Please leave a message on sf.net to this page.

We can't control what resutls your search engine gives you. However, if you go to your link or to http://sourceforge.net/projects/wicketwebbeans, nothing says that the project is dead. The latter link tells you that the project is hosted on Google Code now.

Databinder is a separate project not maintained by us. You'll find it at http://databinder.net . When I google: databinder, the top link I get is databinder.net.
