On further investigation, I don't see how autolinking works at all for 
CSS.

        Given:

    <wicket:link autolink="true">
      <link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="page.css"/>
    </wicket:link>

        Wicket translates this into:

<wicket:link autolink="true">
<link href="desktopbeautifier/web/main/page.css" type="text/css" rel="Stylesheet"/>
    </wicket:link>

but on further investigation "desktopbeautifier/web/main/page.css" is a broken link. I placed "page.css" in the same package as the page that uses it so why doesn't it work? Is Wicket supposed to place the file under /resources perhaps? Any help would be appreciated :)

urlFor() in my mind means "given a URL path relative to the current component, return a URL path relative to the servlet context" and to me Page.urlFor() seems to fail that. I don't see the usefulness of defining urlFor() to return a path relative to the servlet context because (as you mentioned) for Wicket the servlet context is the same across all components. So I guess what I'm saying is, I'd like for us to define urlFor() -- or another method, I don't care -- according to the definition I gave above.

I'm having a little problem understanding what you meant in the previous email. Did you mean the current behavior of urlFor() is correct or wrong?

Thanks,

what is the current page?
the context of youre page is always the same over all pages.
/webcontext/

(if you have youre wicket servlet in webcontext/app (not webcontext/app/ )

but urls should be full if possible in my eyes.

I thought urlFor() would do the job too, but instead of returning an URL relative to the current Page, it returns an URL relative to the application. I assume this isn't a bug (otherwise other stuff would be broken) but it sure is confusing to me. I'd expect Page.urlFor(String path) to return a path relative to the current page.

the reason why autolinks by design ignores all tags with wicket:id is
because we assume the user wants to handle this tag himself. And I
think this assumption is true. Think about all the different kind of
Links. So, exposing the functionality which handles href attrbutes IMO
is the better way to go. Having said that, doesn't urlFor(String) in
combination with a AttributModifier do the job?

Hi,

Autolink will not (by design) process any tags with <wicket:id>. The
problem is that when I'm trying to set CSS into a Page I have to
manually rewrite the href attribute so it is relative to the page. If
you take a look at the autolink implementation you can see this isn't a trivial process. It certainly isn't as simple as invoking urlFor(oldHref)...

Would it be possible to modify autolinking so it processes tags with
<wicket:id> as well? Or is there a way to expose the autolink
functionality in the form of a method I could invoke -- similar to
urlFor() -- which will fix the resource paths?

Thanks,
Gili
