Wicket uses the Session heavily which could mean “large memory footprint” (as stated by some developers) for larger apps with lots of pages. If you were to explain to a bunch of CTOs from Fortune 500 that they have to adopt Apache Wicket for their large web application deployments and that their fears about Wicket problems with scaling are just bad assumptions; what would you argue?

PS:

  • The question concerns only
    scaling.
  • Technical details and real world
    examples are very welcomed.

    IMO credibility for Apache Wicket in very large scale deployment is satisfied with the following URL: http://mobile.walmart.com View the source.

    See also http://mexico.com, http://vegas.com, http://adscale.de, and look those domains up with alexa to see their ranking.

    So, yes it is quite possible to build internet scale applications using Wicket. But whether or not you are using Wicket, Struts, SpringMVC, or just plain old JSPs: internet scale software development is hard. No framework can make that easy for you. No framework can give you software with a next-next-finish wizard that services 5M users.
