Well, in that case, I won't press this any more.

The current stuff is great, but there is indeed a lot of room for
improvement. Will be looking forward to that. :-)


In the meantime, I'll just use my own patched version.


Thanks for checking this out.

I'm not very eager about this. The interface listeners URLs are quite
long, why making them even longer while bringing no additional
benefit? Also are you sure thath your patch won't break under any
circumstances relative urls? It took us a while to get relative URLs
working reliably, I wouldn't want to see that break just for the sake
of adding mount point to listener interface urls.

Also there is a complete rewrite of URL handling planned for 1.5 which
will allow much better control over URL generation and bookmarkability
in Wicket.

The hybrid stategy is only applied when the target is an
IBookmarkablePageRequestTarget. So, for normal bookmarkable pages,  
there

is no problem, like you say.

The issue only arises when a page is mounted, but is used in a

not unless you are planning on keeping any existing query params in

In any case, even if this exists for stateless pages, seems to me that this
better expresses the intent. :-)

Haven't checked out hybrid encoding yet, but in the case of
IListenerInterfaceRequestTarget, IIRC the bookmarkable encoder is completely
bypassed, so if the hybrid encoder is used the same as the other
bookmarkable encoders, this won't change anything.

not sure this will work for security since the mount is kept in the
url until another bookmarkable url is visited. which means that you
can get to any page from that particular mount as long as you use
statefull links...

[PROPOSAL] Use path in URL when target is instance of BookmarkablePageRequestTarget

Currently, when a target is an instance of
IListenerInterfaceRequestTarget, the URL gets "mounted" (so to speak) on
the root of where the wicket application is located.

So, if the servlet context path for the wicket application is set
to /home/, then all targets (whether bookmarkable or not), are written
as something like /home/?wicket:interface=:0.

This works, but I think it somewhat defeats the purpose of having
mounted pages.

Rather, I think it would be better that when the target is an instance

So, if I have a form on a page mounted at /home/myform, the above link
gets rendered as /home/myform/?wicket:interface=:0 instead.


Now, I perfectly understand that this type page has state, so is no
longer bookmarkable. However, at least we can preserve the "pretty URL"
