How to change the href of a wicket container?

With wicket 6.18.0 and Java 8. I have a simple wicket panel:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html xmlns:wicket="http://wicket.apache.org">
<wicket:panel>
  <wicket:container wicket:id="editSection">
       <div class="item"><a wicket:id="edit"><wicket:message key="edit" /></a</div>
  </wicket:container>
</wicket:panel>
</html>

And in my webpage I have something like that:

public class MainPage extends WebPage {
   public MaintPage() {
      WebMarkupContainer edit = new WebMarkupContainer("editSection");
      edit.add(new AjaxHashLink("edit", "edit"));
      add(edit.setVisible(true));
   }
}

But on the url I have #edit at the end of the page when I click on my edit link due certain to the AjaxHashLink.

But I would like it to be /edit, but so I am thinking there's something that can be done to modify the href of the link.

Solution

  • If it's to route to an external resource, you may use the RedirectToUrlException in this case which

    Causes Wicket to interrupt current request processing and send a redirect to the given url. Use this if you want to redirect to an external or none Wicket url. If you want to redirect to a page use the RestartResponseException

    You could use RequestCycle to get help resolve the url of the current wicket page and throw the exception:

    throw new RedirectToUrlException(currentUrl + "#edit");
