Michael, Couldn't the relative paths be fixed by simply including a <BASE href="http://XYZ/index.html";> tag in your page? Perhaps wicket could even have a feature to automatically include the base tag if requested.
I haven't tried it yet, but seems like it might work.

So, the address in the address bar is *the real address* which server is using. So, if you have relative references to pictures, CSS or other stuff, it won't work after you step from http://hostname.com/Main/myPrettyName to, say http://hostname.com/Main/myPrettyName/myPanel Because now the resource is one level up, and you cannot add ..\ dynamically. This is a catch with "real pretty names" with slashes, that a name is treated as path. So, you might want to establish a "root" application name/context somewhere in the accessible place, and always use it when you build path to resources. So, if someone includes CSS stylesheet directly to HTML template or header or whatever, it would break after he changes one level up/down :-(( Michael. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.
