Re: Custom URL Handling
Hi Matthew, Without some serious hacking in the Wicket internals this is not possible. (I did it, but the code is too specific to share.) Wicket 1.5 will improve URL handling, then this case will hopefully be easily. Regards, Erik.

My application will serve many different organizations.

In all other respects, I would like to keep the functionality provided by HybridUrlCodingStrategy, so would my best bet be to extend that strategy? Is there somewhere else I should be inserting custom code to intercept the URL before it gets to the coding strategy instead?

Re: Custom URL Handling
In the past, I've accomplished something similar in a hack-ish sort of way that may work for you. Basically, I extended the WicketFilter and stripped the first argument off, storing it in the request before Wicket used the URL to determine the requested page. Maybe you can go down a similar route? -- Jeremy Thomerson http://www.wickettraining.com On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 3:03 PM, Matt Welch matt...@welchkin.net wrote: David Leangen-8 wrote: What version are you using?

Re: Custom URL Handling
Oh, yeah - okay, so there was a little difference. It depends on your setup - mainly - will you ever need links from two organizations on the same page? Basically, what I was doing was creating branded sites. So, here's the gist of what I had: Apache frontend, based on site, would proxy to Tomcat with an additional path element ahead of the proxy like this: Your request URL: www.site-one.com/foo Apache proxied to Tomcat: www.site-one.com/org-one/foo My filter modified that so that it was again /foo and stuck the org into the session So, the Wicket-generated links of /foo or /bar worked fine - because the org didn't actually appear in the URL *path* - it was based on URL *domain* Does that make sense? I guess it would only work if you could use domain or subdomain based orgs rather than URL path based. -- Jeremy Thomerson http://www.wickettraining.com On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 4:32 PM, Matt Welch matt...@welchkin.net wrote: Jeremy Thomerson-5 wrote: In the past, I've accomplished something similar in a hack-ish sort of way that may work for you.

RE: Custom URL Handling
What version are you using? I'm using 1.4. Ok, then I can't really help you much. URL control is actually very important here because organization identity is vital in the domain that the app will serve. Agreed. IIUC, it may be easier in 1.4: http://www.nabble.com/-PROPOSAL--Use-path-in-URL-when-target-is-instance-o f-BookmarkablePageRequestTarget-td18188845.html Good luck! Please let me know how this works out. Cheers, =David - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
Re: Custom URL Handling
Matt, I have done something similar, but depending on the version of Wicket you use, I wouldn't necessary recommend it. Things can get a little messy. I did this in 1.3.x. IIRC, I was told this was made easier in 1.4.
