In my opinion Wicket is much easier to learn and use than JSF. It also contains a built-in efficient unit testing framework which should be a major plus in an outsource model. Of course, juniors often don't write testable code, so having a unit testing framework alone is definitely not enough; mentoring is very much required.

Kent, if you were to chose

Kent, if you were to chose one of these choices and you knew that a lot of the devlopment had to be done by rather junior offshore developers who will be lead by seniors. Which one would you chose? I guess I'm asking what alternative can better be learned and controlled in an offshore model.

Thnx for the reply

I am teaching a course on both JSF and Wicket. All the students joined the course to learn JSF and had never heard of Wicket. After learning both frameworks in the course they were asked which one they would use. 4 chose JSF and 3 chose Wicket. The rest didn't respond.
