You certainly know this is a problem JSP world and the reason why almost all frameworks have something like $contextPath variables.

This idea is: usually your app has a base path like wicket.myexample.**- But you may not want to write it all the time. Somekind of root-Path or prefix or import would make life easier.

You implement some magic with html but not everything else? That will lead to confusions, for sure. > > > will it support href in <head> like <link> as well? > > I am not familiar with <link>, please elaborate You use links to load external stylesheet or javascript files etc.. The point I intended to make: We have only little experience with Wicket component in the <head> section. Are <span> tags supported in <head> section? . While thinking about it. Isn't this a typical problem to be solved by some url-rewriter? There are servlet based url-rewriter available, for sure.
