Oracle XML Developers Kit

we do use Oracle XML Developers Kit extensively for reports & exports generation - OracleXMLQuery + jstl-fo transformation with apache fop.

on oracle site I see an advertisement that Oracle XML Developer Kit 11g Release 2 is available. but for download only v 10.1.0.3.0 (from 8/31/2004 !) is available...

Even when no Oracle implementation of xml parsers is used, xmlparserv2.jar is still referenced from xsu12.jar (XMLParseException is referenced...)

which leads to my next problem
- for the current project I am using wicket + spring, and spring's application context file fails to be parsed with Oracle XML parsers when web app context is loaded...

discover apache pivot

while looking for a possibility for pivot with hibernate found apache pivot in search result. it is not what I was looking for but it definitely looks impressive

wicket cool

wicket cool

while preparing a project skeleton / start up for wicket + spring + hibernate I discovered wicket cool

cons
- the limitation for points in package name
- not the latest versions of spring, hibernate, wicket, etc. are used
- web app tests use enhancedwickettester - the imports have to be adjusted:
import pl.rabbitsoftware.EnhancedWicketTester;
- I am not particular fan of the splitting of the project of separate projects for domain, service, webapp especially when there is only 1 developer responsible for all business logic, presentation, etc. ; and this DAO pattern - I definitely hate it
