lets say the entire backend of amazon is written in wicket. would you
consider that to be a large application? how would you ever know that
it was written in wicket? people who work on projects like these do
not often go, or most times are not even allowed, to boast on some
public mailing list.

wicket is best suited for very complex uis, and such uis are not often
suited for public websites - whose mission is to make the experience
as simple as possible for the user. not saying that it cannot be done.

i think if this is some sort of a "criteria" for choosing a framework
you should probably go with servlets. there are some very very large
sites out there written in pure jsp and servlets. good luck.

For a large website such as Amazon to work, there should absolutely be different technologies/tiers, tuning, security, and other considerations. The basic question is whether a framework is up to that task and whether there is evidence in reality.
