Mount resources by locale
-------------------------
Key: WICKET-1530
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-1530
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wicket
Affects Versions: 1.3.3
Reporter: Sebastiaan van Erk
When mounting resources (e.g., bookmarkable pages) and using localization, I
find it strange that you have to mount all versions of the resource (all
locales) on 1 path.
This has the following major drawbacks:
1) The resource is not directly reference-able in any locale other than the
default locale.
2) An indexer only finds one version of the resource (or if it finds multiple,
the others are not bookmarkable, so they are expired by the time they're in the
index).
3) It is visitor unfriendly: visitors of the site that press a "change locale"
button get a non-bookmarkable page, which breaks if they copy paste it to link
to your supposedly bookmarkable page.
If it were possible to specify the locale when mounting a resource, this would
allow a different path to be specified per locale, solving all of the above
problems. It would allow links within your pages to the other versions of the
page (other locales) that are stateless, making them crawlable. It would allow
for a stateless locale change link that properly changes the URL so that users
which copy/paste the URL get an URL that actually works.
