Yup, they are meant to identify the file. Right now I just have all
requests that match "/files/*" sent to a controller that grabs the
filename and serves up the file. If I wanted to use parameters in

this kind of thing is really not what Wicket is meant to do. I'm
essentially trying to become an HTTP file server for this small
section of my app.
