fix Incorrect 1.1-b3 examples documentation Fixes 1267370. Thanks to Stephen Bate . Martijn Dashorst
update Factored out the commons-fileupload dependency. As for portlets we would need the development version of that lib, but the last release was in december 2004, I have no trust in how this library will be maintained. Also, the development version introduces a new dependency, commons-io, for just one concrete class. I lifted out the classes we use, put it in Wicket specific packages and cleaned up the deprecations. Eelco Hillenius
update Implemented the basic changes that are needed support other kind of webapplications, such as portlets. The main change in this is that WebRequest is now abstract, and that in a servlet environment ServletWebRequest is the concrete implementation. The changes are mostly internals; the only break (actually for clients that depended on internals anyway) is that instead of doing: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest httpRequest = ((WebRequest) cycle.getRequest()).getHttpServletRequest(); to get the servlet http request, you should now do: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest httpRequest = ((ServletWebRequest)cycle.getRequest()).getHttpServletRequest(); NOTE: As a consequence of this and other changes, it is now possible to have requests that do not live in a session, or that the session is created after the request. This should never get you in trouble actually, except when you do: Session.get().getApplication() in a constructor of a wicket.Request subclass. Replace this with Application.get() (which was a better idea anyway). Thanks to Ate Douma . Eelco Hillenius
fix Exception when replacing non-existent components Fixes 1266090. Thanks to Ralf Ebert . Juergen Donnerstag
fix More explicit exceptions with WicketServlet Fixes 1259548. Thanks to Seth Ladd . Juergen Donnerstag

fix You can now provide a label component to synchronize ids with the datepicker component Thanks to Jan Bares . Eelco Hillenius
update improvements: newValue is now called if the replacement value is null, allowing to supply new values just by subclassing. ReplaceModel can now be null. Eelco Hillenius
fix fixed problem with markup inheritance in combination with head and wicket:head tags. Components inside these tags were not properly processed. Fixes 1272174. Juergen Donnerstag
fix Child and Extend tags are no longer appearing in HTML when strip=true. Fixes 1272174. Juergen Donnerstag

fix Invisible components are not rendered any more Fixes 1267233. Juergen Donnerstag
fix Fixed autolink support for none-html files Thanks to Gili Tzabari . Juergen Donnerstag
fix Invalid image URLs should produce HTTP 404 Fixes 1250570. Thanks to Gili Tzabari . Johan Compagner
fix Consistent homepage URL with NO_REDIRECT Fixes 1251385. Thanks to Gili Tzabari . Johan Compagner
fix Links to resources won't append the current locale of the user anymore to there url. The locale binding is done on request and now with the proper fallback. First the full locale is used. Then only the language and then no locale. If you set a different locale to a resource then the current locale then the locale is still appended to the url. So that one is forced to be used when the lookup occurs. Fixes 1265068. Thanks to Gili Tzabari . Johan Compagner
update Paging refactor, now the paging code is extraced from PageableListView and it is moved to there own package, wicket.markup.html.navigation.paging. It has 2 interfaces now: IPageable and IPagingLabelProvider. IPageable should be used by components that are pageable. They have to return the total pagecount and be able to set and get the current page what that they are displaying. The IPagingLabelProvider can be used to override the default link text of a page link. Default it is just the page number. But with a labelprovider you can set this for example to [1-10],[11-20],[21-24]. The PagingNavigator or the PagingNavigation both have constructors for a IPagingLabelProvider. Fixes 1256084. Johan Compagner
fix UrlResourceStream.length() of changed resources Fixes 1254857. Thanks to Jan Bares . Johan Compagner
fix Refactored PackageResource to not depend on package anymore. Package provides the wrong classloader (if any) for loading the resource. It now uses the scope class, which is consistent with the rest of our resource story. Fixes 1263801. Johan Compagner, Eelco Hillenius
fix Lot's of serialization fixes, also refactored Static- > PackageResoures Fixes 1251853. Johan Compagner
fix Conent type of static resources is content/unknown Fixes 1251710. Thanks to Jan Bares . Johan Compagner

fix FeedbackPanel produces illegal HTML - The initial state of the FeedbackPanel produces empty ul open and close tag since there is no initial message to display. This is illegal HTML according to the HTML validator (XHTML strict mode). Fixes 1219458. Thanks to Gili Tzabari . Martijn Dashorst
fix Fixed WicketServlet.doGet URI bug Fixes 1261052. Thanks to Jan Bares . Juergen Donnerstag

update Added getBoolean() to ValueMap Fixes 1254379. Thanks to Phil Kulak . Eelco Hillenius
fix AbstractDetachableModel didn't propogate attach/detach Fixes 1253113. Thanks to Cameron Braid . Eelco Hillenius
update Made LoadableDetachableModel.getNestedModel() non final Fixes 1253111. Thanks to Cameron Braid . Eelco Hillenius
update Changed implementation of component map in MarkupContainer to an array model like the validators changed. This made a significant reduction in the size of pages, especially big pages. For example, nested shrank from 69,958 bytes to 55,231 bytes which is a savings of 14,727 bytes that was due to HashMap overhead. Very large containers may run slower, but most containers are likely to be faster as should be recursion/iteration. The main downside is that this code is very ugly and involves the same kinds of tests and casts that we did to make the validators implementation more space efficient. Jonathan Locke
update refactored feedback completely. the new code is smaller, more powerful and more elegant. but it will break clients. most clients who are using simple features of the old feedback code will only have to (a) change their package imports from wicket to wicket.feedback (because the feedback stuff is several more class files that are polluting the root package and likely to grow due to the new filtering mechanism) and (b) delete any IFeedback argument to Form. clients who are looking for more powerful ways to filter their messages will now have completely unlimited capacity to do so through the new IFeedbackMessageFilt er interface and the default filter implementations ComponentFeedbackMessageFilter, ContainedByFeedbackMessageFilter and ErrorLevelFeedbackMessageFilter. the whole model for feedback messages has changed from one of component-orientation, which was a mistake, to one of message orientation. to give feedback, a feedback component implements the new IFeedback interface which contains just updateFeedback(). in this method, which is called before the page is rendered, the component can use the FeedbackMessages.messages() method in combination with a filter implementing IFeedbackMessageFilter to retrieve a list of appropriate messages. all feedback messages on the page are pushed through this filter. messages for which IFeedbackMessageFilter.accept() returns true are added to the list. for example, the new FormComponentFeedbackBorder uses the ContainedByFeedbackMessageFilter in its call to FeedbackMessages.messages(). The filter being used by the form component feedback border can be changed by overriding the getFeedbackMessagesFilter() method. This combination allows FormComponentFeedbackBorder to show its error indicator by default when a component that it contains has an error, but allows the user to override this behavior. another example is provided in FormComponentFeedbackIndicator, which is a panel showing a red star (and overridable with you own markup!) that shows or hides itself depending on the result of the filter returned by the overridable getFeedbackMessageFilter() method. if the filter accepts at least one message, the indicator will show itself. if no message matches the filter, the indicator will hide itself. note that feedback message filters do not necessarily have to have anything to do with components. you can install, for example, an ErrorLevelFeedbackMessageFilter which filters out messages below a certain threshold. or you can make a custom filter that uses any attribute of FeedbackMessage to filter on. the new FeedbackPanel also provides a getFeedbackMessageFilter() override. Jonathan Locke
update Maximized efficiency of validators list by doing a little neat object casting in the private implementation. This also simplified things conceptually. Jonathan Locke
update Made FormComponent more space efficient by using boolean flag bit in Component superclass to keep track of persistent boolean. Jonathan Locke
update Changed RequestCycle.internalOnRuntimeException() implementation so that it checks the new Page return value from onRuntimeException. if onRuntimeException returns a Page, it will be redirected to. if not, wicket will use the default page. this provides a nice low-level way of doing something totally different to handle runtime exceptions. if you just want to change the basic look of your InternalErrorPage, you can still just subclass that. but if you want to do sophisticated things with runtime exceptions, you want to override RequestCycle's onRuntimeException method. Jonathan Locke
update Refactored intializer code. Now wicket.properties is checked for each jar or root folder on the classpath. If it contains either initializer=[class] or [app-name]-initializer=[class], that class is instantiated and the IInitializer.init(Application) method is called on the resulting object. So, both libraries and applications can easily initialize their resources now. For example, the core wicket.properties file contains just this: "initializer=wicket.Initializer", which invokes the wicket.Initializer class with the application being loaded. The wicket.Initializer.init() method will contain a sequence of initializations. For example, "new TreeComponentInitializer().init(application)". This is a much better and safer and more Java way of initializing components for a library like core. Updated the images example to show how this is done. Jonathan Locke
update Changed structure of process() back to its original no-parameter form and introduced a nice, logical return value in onFormSubmitted to determined whether to call delegateSubmit(). Jonathan Locke
update HtmlHeaderContainer to supports markup inheritance. Fixes 1255293. Thanks to Gili Tzabari . Juergen Donnerstag
add Changed StaticResourceReference and StaticResource to PackageResourceReference and PackageResource, then added an Application parameter to each to make that explicit. Added IComponentInitializer method that is called in Application constructor for each class listed in META-INF/wicket-component-initializers.txt. This will allow component developers to initialize resources when the app starts up. For applications, you can also create a META-INF/[ApplicationName]-wicket-component-initializers.txt if you want to preload resources or otherwise initialize for pages. Made changes to ImagesApplication to demo this, including an example that preloads the cancel button via META-INF/ImagesApplication-wicket-component-initializers.txt Jonathan Locke
add Added min, max and length parameters to the error message interpolation of LengthValidator Martijn Dashorst
update Added automatic multiPart support to Form. You can still call Form.setMultiPart() if you want to, but it is no longer necessary. Fixes 1255297. Jonathan Locke
add Added WebSession.getId() and WebRequestCycle.getWebSession() Jonathan Locke
add added AbstractReadOnlyModel Fixes 1250030. Thanks to Igor Vaynberg . Eelco Hillenius
update allow protected access to AttributeModifier's replacement model Fixes 1249929. Thanks to Igor Vaynberg . Eelco Hillenius

fix Component.setShouldEscapeModelStrings renamed to setEscapeModelStrings Eelco Hillenius
update Buttons now have an 'immediate' property. If true, this button behaves much like a normal link; no validation nor updating of the nested form components is done automatically in that case. This property is false by default. Eelco Hillenius

fix The UploadForm now considers the encoding Fixes 1209027. Eelco Hillenius
add By means of Component.setRenderBodyOnly(boolean) it is now easily possible to print the tag's body only. This is e.g. necessary with < span > tags and Panels where in cases you want to be strictly HTML compliant the < span > tag itself must be removed. The (tag's) body will always be printed. Juergen Donnerstag

Release 1.0.0-rc3 - 2005-05-22

Type Changes By
update Added constructors with just the id to the Choice component to be consistent with other Wicket components. Eelco Hillenius
fix Strings.escapeMarkup now properly escapes unicode. Eelco Hillenius
update Made the rendering strategy pluggable. From javadoc of ApplicationSettings: renderStrategy- Sets in what way the render part of a request is handled. Basically, there are two different options:
  • Direct, ApplicationSettings.ONE_PASS_RENDER. Everything is handled in one physical request. This is efficient, and is the best option if you want to do sophisticated clustering. It does not however, shield you from what is commonly known as the Double submit problem
  • Using a redirect. This follows the pattern as described at the serversideand that is commonly known as Redirect after post. Wicket takes it one step further to do any rendering after a redirect, so that not only form submits are shielded from the double submit problem, but also the IRequestListener handlers (that could be e.g. a link that deletes a row). With this pattern, you have two options to choose from:
    • ApplicationSettings.REDIRECT_TO_RENDER. This option first handles the 'action' part of the request, which is either page construction (bookmarkable pages or the home page) or calling a IRequestListener handler, such as Link.onClick. When that part is done, a redirect is issued to the render part, which does all the rendering of the page and its components. Be awarethat this may mean, depending on whether you access any models in the action part of the request, that attachement and detachement of some models is done twice for a request.
    • ApplicationSettings.REDIRECT_TO_BUFFER. This option handles both the action- and the render part of the request in one physical request, but instead of streaming the result to the browser directly, it is kept in memory, and a redirect is issue to get this buffered result (after which it is immediately removed). This option currently is the default render strategy, as it shields you from the double submit problem, while being more efficient and less error prone regarding to detachable models.
Note that this parameter sets the default behaviour, but that you can manually set whether any redirecting is done by calling method RequestCycle.setRedirect. Setting the redirect flag when the application is configured to use ONE_PASS_RENDER, will result in a redirect of type REDIRECT_TO_RENDER. When the application is configured to use REDIRECT_TO_RENDER or REDIRECT_TO_BUFFER, setting the redirect flag to false, will result in that request begin rendered and streamed in one pass. Thanks to Martijn Dashorst .

fix Fixed a bug that made MostRecentlyUsedMap (used to store page in the session) behave like a MostRecentlyAddedToMap. Fixes lots of frames/ popup problems in one strike. Eelco Hillenius
add Added method setChoices and some np checks to AbstractChoice Thanks to Jonathan Carlson . Eelco Hillenius
add Implemented support for obfuscating URLs Fixes 1169374. Juergen Donnerstag
fix Fixed Javascript parse error. CDATA section are properly handled now. Fixes 1192572. Juergen Donnerstag
update Refactored resources and fixed some issues along the way. The major change is that we removed ImageResource from the inheritance tree. So, if you have compile problems, replace any reference to ImageResource with wicket.markup.html.WebResource. Furthermore, StaticImageResource and StaticImageResourceReference are renamed to StaticResource and StaticResourceReference, as it is perfectly acceptable to reference e.g. a PDF (we did some testing with this as well). Also, as we fixed a localization bug in this, you could for example package resources like 'mydoc.pdf' and 'mydoc_nl.pdf' and reference them with a StaticResource(Reference), and let Wicket find out which one should be loaded. Johan Compagner, Eelco Hillenius
fix ResourceLinks were not binded for static resources. Fixes 1188417. Eelco Hillenius
fix Application is not serializable. Application in StaticImageResource is now transient and is set just before it is needed. Fixes 1192671. Johan Compagner
fix Nesting of message receivers should work without any problems due to the recent feedback message refactorings. Fixes 1197005. Eelco Hillenius
fix Instead of throwing an exception when a request could not be processed, Wicket now sends a 404. Fixes 1198740. Eelco Hillenius
fix in Form: Form components were persisted before the form was updated. Eelco Hillenius
fix When the upload does not validate, super.onSubmit will now not be called anymore. Eelco Hillenius
update It is now possible to set a Comparator for sorting messages on both FeedbackPanel and FeedbackMessagesModel. Eelco Hillenius
update Refactored feedback message handling to be independent (using pull models) of the flow of execution of a page again. This makes it easier to use, and results in less spagethi code. Introduced IFeedbackBoundary that is a tagging interface to implement message hierarchy blocks. Currently it is implemented by Page and Form. IFeedback now has one method that can be used b y implementing classes to set (override) the actual component from where messages are collected. Form uses this to set the collection point when a IFeedback instance is provided. The add/remove methods of IFeedback are removed. Made both FeedbackPanel and FormComponentFeedbackBorder non-final, so users can provide their own markup. Also, FeedbackMessagesModel that is used by FeedbackPanel is public, so that it can be used for custom implementations without having to know too much about the internals of message collecting. Eelco Hillenius
fix Added escapes for & , " and ' in Strings utilities class. Eelco Hillenius
fix This bug prevented running Wicket on VM's that don't use SUN's security implementation classes. Don Ledford reported it for Blackdown 1.4.2 j2sdk. Removed SunJceCrypt's static initializer and put it in it's constructor. Application now reuses the ICrypt instance once it is created, so that it is easier to provide a dummy one. The current ICrypt instances seem to be thread safe, so that shouldn't give any problems, and users can override the factory method if they want to use non-thread safe instances. Fixes 1196140. Eelco Hillenius
fix In ResourceTest URL.getFile() was used while it should use a URI to construct a file. Eelco Hillenius
fix ClassCastException on ListItem.onAttach using CompoundPropertyModel. When using a CompoundPropertyModel to bind a list to a listview, the ListItem.onAttach throws a ClassCastException. This is because the model of the ListView is not used to cast to an element, but the root model. Fixed by using ListView.getModelObject() instead of having the ListItemModel try to retrieve the model itself. The ListItem now takes a ListView instead of a ListModel, and requests the model on the listview. Fixes 1194464. Martijn Dashorst
fix RequestCycle.onEndRequest not called after Exception. When an exception occurs, onEndRequest is not always called. This results in open database connections etc. when these are allocated and deallocated using a custom RequestCycle. Fixed by moving the endRequest method calls into the finally block of RequestCycle.request(). Fixes 1194460. Martijn Dashorst
fix Fixed the beginning/ending callbacks of pages. This was not done properly for listener interface calls: internalBeginRequest was called to late, or in case the listener set another page to render, not at all. The same problem applied to internalEndRequest. As this method is where the component models must be detached (see earlier fix), this had the effect that models were often not detached. Which in turn gave problems - besides a temporary memory leak - with lazy Hibernate initialization etc. Eelco Hillenius
fix Fixed JavaScript parsing bug as reported on the user list by Andrew de Torres. Fixes 1192572. Juergen Donnerstag
fix Validators (LengthValidator, IntegerValidator and PatternValidator) now only check non empty values. Eelco Hillenius
update Made a clear seperation between IModel.getModel(), IModel.getNestedModel() and IModel.getObject(). getNestedModel()/getRootModel() semantics getNestedModel() and getRootModel() returned Objects. They now return IModel. Fixes 1190287. Martijn Dashorst
add Added new Model LoadableDetachableModel that makes working with DetachableModels super easy. Eelco Hillenius
fix PageableListviewNavigation number of pages shrinks when the number of listview items gets smaller. This becomes a problem when the number of listitems gets bigger again. Fixes 1190208. Johan Compagner
fix setModel triggers a model clone. It shouldn't as in fact it is a component state change. Fixes 1190148. Johan Compagner
fix Fixes that BoundCompoundPropertyModel.Binding doesn't implement Serializable. Fixes 1189444. Martijn Dashorst
update Made a number of small refactoring changes to support url path encryption. The code is not that far from working, but the feature is turned off. Added a method Session.getPathCrypt() to get an instance of ICrypt for encrypting url paths for a given session (it's probably not a good idea in general to encrypt all paths for an application with the same key). Moved ICrypt and related implementations to wicket.util.crypt since the usage is more general now. Made a first pass at url encoding that doesn't work when path encryption is enabled. Also made a first pass at url decoding/reparsing that doesn't quite work either. If someone out there has the time to fix my implementation (I don't think it's too far off), we could probably ship this with 1.0. Jonathan Locke
add Added RadioChoice and multiple select lists to the form input example. Also fixes issue 1185624 Fixes 1185624. Eelco Hillenius
fix '-' in a attributes are parsed good now. Fixes 1187903. Juergen Donnerstag
add added support for redirecting to external url's (e.g. Google) directly by introducing RedirectPage. Also added an example of this in the link-o-matic example. Eelco
update Form validation now occurs for every form submit in Form.onValidate(). If the form validates, Form.onSubmit is called unconditionally. If there is more than one button on the form and the form validates, then Button.onSubmit() is also called. Since multi-button forms (which are a common case) are unlikely to want to override Form.onSubmit(), made this method non-abstract. Jonathan Locke
fix Enhanced CompoundPropertyModel's propertyType method to use the value from any TypeValidator attached to the FormComponent. Also, removed type field from TextField in favor of using the more space-efficient FormComponent.getValidationType() method (which was added to implement CompoundPropertyModel.propertyType()). If no TypeValidator has been assigned, the default OGNL conversion will still occur. Fixes 1186940. Jonathan Locke
fix Fixed problem with check in add() when undoing a remove operation. Added internalAdd() method to MarkupContainer and used it from Remove.undo() in the undo version manager. Fixes 1186293. Jonathan Locke
fix In a search form containing textfields, the input value is set to the empty string when no value is in the textfield. This should be configurable, so the user has the option to override this behaviour. Default usage should be that the value becomes NULL instead of empty string. Fixes 1188128. Martijn Dashorst
add added support for CompoundPropertyModels to ListView, thus making it possible to add a ListView to a Form with a list property as the model without having to specify a seperate list model. Fixes 1186504. Martijn Dashorst
update removed final from getLocale to enable users to pin a locale (or use another algorithm) for custom sessions. Eelco Hillenius
add Added additional constructor for MultiLineLabel for it to work with CompoundPropertyModels. Martijn Dashorst
update Made constructor of ListItem public as class ListItem is public, and ListView.newItem is overrideable while returning ListItem. Eelco Hillenius
fix as in ListView accessor getOptimizeItemRemoval() is overrideable, the field should never be used directly. Fixed that. Eelco Hillenius
update Introduced property optimizeItemRemoval for tree as well. Many internal improvements that fixed some unreported issues. Tree is versioned again. Eelco Hillenius

Release 1.0.0-rc2 - 2005-04-16

Type Changes By
fix tree does not need versioning by default. Fixes 1178309. Eelco Hillenius
fix Wickets mistakes < a .../ > for an open-tag. Fixes 1161111. Juergen Donnerstag
update Tree can be extended by providing a custom panel for a node. This way the tree can be used to nest arbitrairy components, like input fields and (more) images. Eelco Hillenius
fix modelChanging and modelChanged were never called in the link handlers of the delete and moveUp/Down listview links Fixes 1183947. Eelco Hillenius
fix Tree is not a listener for tree events by default, as registering the tree as a listener by default can lead to memory leaks Eelco Hillenius
fix Wrap catched exception so that we not only get the 'markup not found exception', but also what caused the problem in the first place. Johan Compagner
fix Removed 'removeAll' from the render method in ListView Eelco Hillenius
fix Added extra null pointer check in MultipartWebRequest Eelco Hillenius
fix Resources were requested from the servlet context by relative path. This gives problems on some containers (like Jetty 5.1.x) with a paths like 'mysubdir/foo.css'. The change is: final String url = '/' + getWebRequest().getRelativeURL(); Eelco Hillenius
fix Added updateCluster boolean to RequestCycle. As a request is parsed, this boolean is set in order to determine if the end of the request cycle should update the cluster. In WebRequestCycle, if the resourceReference call returns true, there was a bug where parseRequest would return true, which is incorrect. Now, resourceReference() and staticContent() both return false (since they don't involve pages). In addition, both set the updateCluster boolean to false. Then each of bookmarkablePage, callComponentListener and homePage() set updateCluster to true. Finally, in Page.onRedirect, updateCluster is set to false to override the true value set in callComponentListener for simple page redirects. Fixes 1182158. Jonathan Locke
fix Added PageMap.remove() method and PopupCloseLink class, which calls this method on Page.getPageMap(), which is now public. A little trick was necessary to invoke the java code AND close the window. When PopupCloseLink is clicked, the page map is removed and then the response page is set to a nested class with markup found in PopupCloseLink$1. This markup contains javascript that closes the window when it is loaded. Fixes 1182728. Jonathan Locke
update Factored out SharedResources class from Application and made some minor improvements to the static path() methods. This will clear the way to make Session relative SharedResources in the future. It also will enable us to make changes to the SharedResources class without having to add more methods to Application, which is already complex enough. Jonathan Locke
fix Any image path is now part of the resource key for shared images. Fixes 1181983. Jonathan Locke
update Added some parameter validation and finalized some methods that should not be overridden. In particular, Component.getSession() is now final as well as Component.getId(). The change to Component.getId() also eliminated a field in Page that is really not necessary. The result of these changes is a tighter API. There will be more changes of this nature as we lock down the API for 1.0 final. Jonathan Locke
update Minor refactoring in Application and ApplicationSettings. Changed Application.sourcePath property to resourcePath since that's what it really is. Changed getCrypt() and getMarkupParser() to newCrypt() and newMarkupParser() since these are really factory methods and they should indicate that. Made a bunch of methods final that should be and reformatted some stuff. Would like to make getSettings() final too so that hotspot will inline accesses. Unfortunately, some Spring related subclass has already overridden the method and so now we cannot make it final... Jonathan Locke
update Added FLAG_USER* bits to Component and made setFlag/getFlag protected. This will help avoid flag bit conflicts and will also make it possible to reduce the space needs of Components other than Page (which already uses bits in Component.flags). Jonathan Locke
fix Added Page.setDirty/isDirty and changed Session to replicate each dirty page in the session based on this flag. Then added code that sets the flag when a Page is modified (in case someone changes some random page), but also set flag on by default and each time a Page object is pulled out of a Session PageMap. This will cause the default replication behavior described in this bug. Unfortunately, even though the change seems to work fine, there appears to be a problem with one of the test cases. It looks like MockWebApplication was subtly dependent on something I changed and I suspect the test case rather than the code since all the examples seem to work fine. So I'm checking in and hoping someone can take a look at the test since I can't make time for a few days. Fixes 1177751. Jonathan Locke
fix Javadoc enhancement for ResouceReference. Fixes 1176169. Jonathan Locke
update Changed my mind about defaulting resources that are not lazy-inited. If a resource like "plus-sign.gif" is requested in the netherlands (locale nl_nl), first an attempt is made to load "plus-sign_nl_nl.gif", then the lazy init code is given a chance to create a resource for the nl_nl locale. Then if /that/ doesn't create a resource, we default it to "plus-sign.gif". This kind of defaulting behavior is important in supporting non-localized static resource references (which would not really be possible without this change). Jonathan Locke
update Fixed a bunch of unreported problems with image resources. The new method Application.localizedPath(name, locale, style) constructs more reasonable paths for images by inserting the locale just before the extension (instead of after it, which looks wrong and confusing). This method will omit the locale if it is equal to Locale.getDefault(), which means foo_en_US.gif and foo.gif are the same resource in the US. Updated Application.getResource() methods to use this method when searching for a resource in the shared resource cache. The new getResource() method will actually fail if it cannot find a resource that matches the locale (as opposed to defaulting to the default locale). This will help keep localization problems to a minimum and also ensures that lazy initialization will work (which it did not, before). Undid a change that Johan made to InputForm since we do not search for anything other than Locale.toString(), meaning nl and nl_nl are not equal in Wicket at this time (which is really a bug if anyone wants to report it). Finally, made changes to the static image resolution code so that it automatically creates shared resources! This means that the code for the Pub example did not have to change in order to be efficient /and/ localized. Jonathan Locke
fix Changed SharedResource to ResourceReference. ResourceReference does not inherit from Resource since it is a reference to a resource and not an actual resource now. Added StaticImageResourceReference to make it easy to create references to static image resources. See the Tree class for an example usage. SharedResourceLink was changed to ResourceLink. Fixes 1177942. Jonathan Locke
