Maarten Billemont commented on WICKET-4039:
-------------------------------------------
Whatever is decided in the end; it should involve consistency. Either wicket
should delegate via Component#urlFor whenever a relevant URL is needed; or
those methods should be removed completely.
Right now it's just both inconsistent and useless.
> Make Component#urlFor non-final

> My use case is that I want to add an anchor to the URL generated for my Page,
> each time. its urlFor would be an excellent place to do this, unfortunately
> it is final. Which, to me, makes no sense whatsoever, because there's no
> point to its existence with it being final. It doesn't use the instance's
> state, it just delegates to other static methods. So why does
> Component#urlFor exist if it's not to give the developer an opportunity to
> intervene and inject custom behavior?
> I hereby propose the urlFor methods become non-final.
