Apache wicket is it good technology for public sites?

If I want to create site which would be great as PUBLIC SITE, which would be good indexed by Google with human readable paths in http-get requests, fast in runtime and fast and flexible to develop and support etc. Or if i using Java i should use Spring MVC for this purposes ?

Apache wicket seems good for me but I'm not sure about how fast it would be and if it is good solution to create public sites.

Could you help with this question?

Here's a list of public websites based on Wicket, maybe you can use it as a starting point to try to find out how much traffic they handle.
By the way, IMHO Wicket is fast and very pleasing to work with :)

For a public website, Wicket can be difficult because of the following reasons:

  • Highly depends on sessions: most components are stateful and require sessions
  • Session should be avoided when building websites that should be indexed search engines
  • Stateless ajax isn't possible in Wicket

Apache Wicket is my favorite Java framework. It's component based which actually breaks the very nature of the web. May be useful for intranet sites but if you want to build a public site with probable need of handling high volume then request based framework like Spring MVC would be more suitable.
