RE: Favicon best practice
Thanks Jeffrey,
I put my favicon.ico where you suggested and made this my sole favicon file.
I did keep
link rel=shortcut icon type=image/x-icon href=favicon.ico/
in the HTML of my base page in the hope that Microsoft will make Internet
Explorer 8 or above able to read the favicon in the future.
Mozilla Firefox 12.0 reads this fine. I see that IE8 may require an href
starting http://www.; for it to show the favicon. If so, to this
requirement I shall not bow.

I just put the favicon.ico at the root of the WebContent directory and
don't specify anything in the HTML. I believe browsers look in the root
unless specified differently in the html (like you are doing).
BTW... app is on Apache + Tomcat and runs as the root app of the tomcat
instance.

With Wicket 1.5.5, I have tried:
In the HTML of my base page I have:
link rel=shortcut icon type=image/x-icon href=favicon.ico/
and in my WebApplication-descended application class, I have:
@Override

super.init();
...
PackageResourceReference prrFavicon = new PackageResourceReference(
ResourcesLocator.class, favicon.ico);
mountResource(favicon.ico, prrFavicon);
}
Sadly, the favicon shown remains that stored in web/favicon.ico, not the
favicon.ico file stored in the same folder as my ResourcesLocator class.
Oh well, I shall just live with the favicon in my web folder, and leave
the other one in place just in case.

I shall try your suggestion when 1.5 comes out, which I am looking
forward to. Thank you again for your suggestions.

Re: Favicon best practice
Why not just put it next to WEB-INF/ ?
Or if you need to manipulate it with Wicket (e.g. generate it on the fly)
then use a Wicket Resource which is mounted at /favicon.ico.

I would appreciate some advice on best practice for favicons in Wicket
I subclass most of my web pages from a subclass of WebPage. I implement my
favicon in the way set out at the foot of this posting. I have two types of
problem.
1. When testing the URL http://localhost:8080/favicon.ico; on my local
machine (and a similar, production URL in deployment) I get the error like:
HTTP ERROR 404 Problem accessing /favicon.ico. Reason: NOT_FOUND
2. When accessing one of my pages descended from MyBasePage (itself
subclassed from WebPage and incorporating ... in its HTML mark-up), I
sometimes get the Google App Engine for Java warning:
org.apache.wicket.markup.html.PackageResource getResourceStream:
Unable to find package resource
[path = ..., style = null, locale = en_GB]
I suspect that I am doing something wrong. Can anyone point me in the right
direction? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

MOUNTING
In my WebApplication-descended class I tried
protected void init()
{
super.init();
...
// New code
ResourceReference rrefFavicon = new ResourceReference(
ResourcesLocator.class, favicon.ico);
mountSharedResource([path], rrefFavicon.getSharedResourceKey());
}
where for [path] I tried favicon.ico, /favicon.ico and /favicon.ico/
but not / since that is reserved for the home page, with HTML mark-up
but this did not work for me.
PUTTING NEXT TO /WEB-INF
Thanks for this tip; it worked for me!
CONCLUSION

Thank you, Martin, for your response. This should have fixed my problem. My
solution is not the neatest one, since I now have two favicon.ico files in
my deployment, but the main thing is that it works.

Re: Favicon best practice
mountSharedResource() will make it reachable at
/resources/org.apache.wicket.Application/favicon.ico
In Wicket 1.5 you can use mountResource(favicon.ico, resourceReference)
and it will do what you need.
You can write your custom IMountableRequestTargetUrlCodingStrategy to do
that in 1.4
