Re: Link generation from outside of Wicket - was Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Wicket 6.7.0 Released!

Hi,

In another thread I suggested an "insane" idea but maybe it could be useful
for someone.
You can expose Wicket IResource as a web service. Pass it the class name as
parameter and it can use normal Wicket functionality to return the full url
for that page.
The catch is that you need to know the url of the web service to be able to
use it.

I'm in exactly the same situation as Martin Dietze.

I have to generate URL to a Wicket page in a batch scheduled by Spring
or Quartz.

We did it following the guidance you gave to Martin but it's quite
complicated. As you mentioned it, we have in a configuration parameter
the scheme/host/port information and we generate an URL to a wicket
page from there by getting the application by its name and building a
fake request and a fake RequestCycle.

FWIW, here is the current version of what we use:

What exactly you mean by "outside of Wicket" ?
What Wicket objects you have access to ?
The application name will be needed and a base url. Usually the current
request's baseUrl is used to construct a full url. Without the base url
Wicket can generate only context-absolute url.
