We haven’t used @ActionSemantics(Of.SAFE) on the create methods, only the query 
methods.
I believe the default is Of.NON_IDEMPOTENT

It's not the invocation that's being accessed by the bookmarkable URL, it's the 
form to enter the parameters.
Clicking the "OK" button on that form invokes the method.
The actual URL that causes the method invocation is
POST 
http://localhost:7001/rma/wicket/wicket/page?1-1.IFormSubmitListener-action-parameters-inputForm
with a standard x-www-form-urlencoded post body.
