Sven Meier commented on WICKET-5884:
------------------------------------

How reusable would these behaviors be? LogoutClickBehavior sound pretty 
singular and ClickLogger can already be done with an IRequestCycleListener.

Wicket events are a great solution to certain problems, but IMHO not in such a 
fine-granular manner.

> Let Links, Buttons and Forms send Click and Submit Events

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5884
>             Project: Wicket
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: wicket
>    Affects Versions: 7.0.0, 6.20.0
>            Reporter: Tim Feurich

> h4. Links, Buttons
> Having the Link/Button components send click events to child {{IEventSinks}}  
> would allow decoupling their behavior into {{Behaviors}}  for reuse.
> This would also make their anonymous subclassing optional.
> {code:java}
> add(new Link<>("logout")
>       .add(new LogoutClickBehavior())
>       .add(new ClickLogger("authentication")));
> {code}
> Sending the events to the children probably would suffice, as a custom 
> behavior could easily reroute the events to other destinations.
> {code:java}
> add(new Link<>("logout").add(EventPropagator.SESSION));
> {code}
> h4. Forms
> Form onSubmit events would allow {{Behaviors}} to contribute to the 
> submission without forcing users to subclass forms for any number of tasks.
> {code:java}
> MailingStatelessContactForm.class
> DatabasePersistedContactForm.class
> XSDValidatingJAXBMarshallingAgainstXMLRantingContactForm.class
> {code}
> The decoupled behavior is quite a bit more flexible and reuseable compared to 
> individual classes for every combination of usecases.
> {code:java}
> add(new ContactForm<>(id, model)
>       //decoupled behavior, that can be made to work for any form
>       .add(new FormMailBehavior("[email protected]"))
>       .add(new DevFormDumper()));
> {code}
> Using listeners instead of the {{IEvent}} mechanism might be a viable 
> alternative with a typesafty-flexibility tradeoff.
> Although there might be a naming conflict with {{IFormSubmitListener}}, which 
> seems quite different in nature.
