Answer 1

Here's a quickstart application of integrating Wicket and Atmosphere.

https://github.com/papegaaij/wicket-atmosphere-quickstart

• atmosphere.xml can be found under src/main/webapp/META-INF/
• web.xml under src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/

Answer 2

Here is a minimal example: http://examples7x.wicket.apache.org/atmosphere/?0

It is similar to RJo's link. In addition:

• There is an online demo.
• Custom objects are pushed to the EventBus, so You'll see that everything might be transfered as long as it is Serializable.

Summary:

• An EventBus instance is initialized in AtmosphereApplication.java.
• This EventBus is used in HomePage.java to push messages.
• @Subscribe annotations in HomePage.java are used to receive messages.
