you meant page.getClass().equals(MyAccountPage.class) that's quite a mouthful to repeat. it makes something you don't care about but which i do all the time hard. just because it's more minimal doesn't make it better.
i want more abbreviated support for auto-disabling of links in the core. extracting a subclass of Link like AutoDisableLink would be fine. but i don't really want to write the code below by default and i think other users deserve the benefit of this behavior by default too. it's how wicket makes link menus trivial and users should not have to go hunting on the wiki to figure it out. igor.vaynberg wrote: > > add( new link("foo") { > onclick() { setresponsepage(new MyAccountPage()); } > boolean linksto(Page page) { return > page.class.equals(MyAccountPage.class); > } > } > > simple as that and the bookmarkablepagelink already also does this > > -igor > > > On 2/25/07, Jonathan Locke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >> >> i don't think you really listened to me. the part i want is not the >> delayed >> creation of the page. you can get that by subclassing link. what i want >> for myself and all wicket users is the /identity/ part. without that >> wicket >> cannot disable self-referential links automatically. this makes menuing >> with links a hassle. if you can explain how i can do delayed linking but >> still >> have wicket deal with disabling links to their containing page >> automatically, >> i'm fine with that. if not, i'm very much -1 on it. >> >> >> igor.vaynberg wrote: >> > >> > why not let us remove it, and you copy it into your project >> > >> > -igor >> > >> > >> > On 2/25/07, Jonathan Locke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> i don't want to gang up on martijn here, but that's what i meant. >> >> i also think we should refactor pagelink with the remaining two >> >> constructors to: >> >> >> >> pageclasslink (the one with the class contructor) >> >> >> >> and >> >> >> >> delayedpagelink (the one with the ipagelink constructor) >> >> >> >> this way there is no class name pagelink (which is dangerous because >> >> it's such an obvious name). this situation will make it very obvious >> >> what users ought to do (now Link is the most obvious class) and >> >> pageclasslink >> >> and delayedpagelink will both be slightly more efficient since they >> won't >> >> share an unused field. then users will have a choice between: >> >> >> >> link >> >> pageclasslink >> >> bookmarkablepagelink >> >> delayedpagelink >> >> >> >> that seems like a very good situation. >> >> >> >> if you're still unhappy, martijn, maybe we could keep the page >> >> constructor >> >> in a deprecated class like pagereferencelink. that would help guide >> >> users >> >> away from the class, but it would still be there for backwards compat. >> >> >> >> jon >> >> >> >> >> >> Eelco Hillenius wrote: >> >> > >> >> >> Very convenient to hold a vote when I'm not around... >> >> > >> >> > It wasn't concluded yet.
