Wicketeers, I have an issue to resolve and I hope someone can help.
The user opens a link from 'Window 1' to open in new tab ('Window 2') and goes off and does a whole bunch of stuff in Window 2. After following a few links, the user returns to 'Window 1' and triggers an Ajax link. By now this page isn't in the page cache or whatever (at least I assume) and the Ajax link fails. Currently the behaviour is simply to forward to a brand new version of the page (i.e. the base of URL). Which is odd behaviour for the user, as all their state simply disappears. What I'd like to do is forward to the home page with a 'this page or link has expired' or similar so the difference isn't jarring, unfortunately I have no way to trap when this happens. No Exception is triggered in the IRequestCycleListener - I'd have expected a StalePageException or PageExpiredException, or similar but no exception is triggered here. Is there a way to handle this stale ajax request elegantly? Cheers, Col.
