I have taken over management of a site using wicket, which I was woefully
unfamiliar with. Have been able to do some screens, modify them, add stuff,
etc. without much trouble. However, the overflow flow I am not familiar
with.
The site had some web pages that were stateful and had a sort bar. That
was removed. Wicket parms in the url are encoded.
So, a previous link might look like:
www.site.com/something.html?page=2z=afhyewifewicfhewichewicvhweripcvh
These pages were indexed by the search engines. Now that the sort
functions are gone, and, we've made the page a stateless page, requests to
pages with the wicket parms (in the z=) now return an error as so:
2012-01-17 10:55:36,700 (TP-Processor23) [
RequestCycle.java:1432:ERROR] unable to find component with path
someProductList:productList:topToolbars:2:toolbar:headers:2:header:orderByLink
on stateless page
Wel, is true of course since that's been removed. However, we want pages
to still work, just, ignore the wicket stuff.
Can this be handled via some method in wicket? i.e., something that can
tell wicket to ignore the wicket stuff for the specific page in question?
Some stuff in the query string are still used on those pages, just want to
not process the wicket stateful stuff. Or, is it best handled with
mod_rewrite in Httpd?
I'm sure it can be handled in Wicket, but even then I'd default to
mod_rewrite for something as simple as always remove parameter X from
query string for pages A, B, C. To me dealing with old URLs is better
done at that level rather than cluttering the application with it.
