About

Apache Wicket is a component-oriented backend framework for Java that enables developers to build dynamic web applications using pure Java and HTML.

It supports reusable components, AJAX functionality, session management, CSRF protection, and integration with authentication libraries such as Shiro and Spring Security.

Jakarta Server Pages (JSP) is a technology that enables developers to create dynamic web content using XML markup, custom tags, expression language, and Java.

It provides directives for page configuration, actions for controlling runtime behavior, scripting elements for inline Java code, a tag extension mechanism, and templates to separate logic from presentation.
