Re: [Wicket-user] simple bookmarkable url

[Jeff Miller]

Where would I find an example?  I could not find any on wiki, wicket.sourceforge.net, or in examples.  

 

The javadoc is not clear how to use ApplicationPages except that I need to use putClassAlias method.  What object, if any, needs reference to the ApplicationPages object with the aliases?

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Is there a way to create bookmarkable page without embedding any of the Wicket implementation details in the url?  For example, the template example page 2 url is:

http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples/template?bookmarkablePage=wicket.examples.template.Page2

 

However, "bookmarkablePage=wicket.examples.template" is a Wicket implementation detail that is used because Wicket needs it and not because it is relevant to the url.  It would be good if the url could be simpler like:

http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples/template/Page2

 

Now I realize that Wicket needs to know how to map "Page2" to "wicket.examples.template.Page2".  One way to accomplish this could be to add a method to WebApplication like addAlias(String alias, Class page).  For example:

 

public class TemplateApplication extends WicketExampleApplication
{
    public TemplateApplication()
    {
        getPages().setHomePage(Page1.class);

        addAlias("Page1", Page1.class);

        addAlias("Page2", Page2.class);
    }
}

 

Here are some articles that recommend keeping implementation details out of urls:
