Hi,
Wicket RAD is not based on JPA, in fact the JPA stuff is only in an optional extension module to the core of Wicket RAD.
I haven't heard of your framework, but I think if there are common areas and synergies to be found that fits, working together is definitely a good idea - a community is stronger than lone warriors.
Have a look at Wicket RAD, play around with it and let me know what you think and if you see any areas where your framework might add value.

I have been working on a library called Domdrides (for DOMain-DRIven DESign) and I have been thinking about developing a wicket-based library that leverages Domdrides to enabled rapid development. I haven't had a chance to dive in to Wicket RAD yet. Is it based solely on JPA? Domdrides has a "core" library that has been implemented using JPA, Hibernate, and iBATIS. So, hopefully, something like Wicket RAD could be written against the Domdrides core and you would just need to drop in the proper implementation classes.
I'm going to play around with Wicket RAD. Would you guys like to work together? I've got some ideas about setting up nice maven archetype templates that would allow you to generate entity/repository classes and have them woven into your application automatically. All you would have to do is add your own custom stuff (like properties and custom finder methods to the repositories). The domdrides library can be found at (as well as the main maven repository):
