Igor Vaynberg resolved WICKET-4039.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
Assignee: Igor Vaynberg
Component#urlFor() is a convenience method and that is why it is final. it is
easier to say { urlFor(ILinkListener.INTERFACE); } then {
RequestCycle.get().urlFor(this, ILinkListener.INTERFACE); } it is also more
convenient for noobs because IDEs will autocomplete available methods, but not
something defined in another class.
for your particular requirement see Link#setAnchor()
> 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.
