Detecting HTML 5 Features in Wicket
Is there any built in support for detecting HTML 5 browser features like Web Storage?
If not, what is the recommended approach for doing so?
I'm looking for a way to detect support for Web (e.g. Local) Storage, so in cases where the browser's do not support it (e.g., IE7), I can use cookies or some other mechanism instead.
Thanks,
J.D.

Hi,
To detect browser capabilities you have to use WebClientInfo. See
http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples-6.0.x/hellobrowser/<http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples-6.0.x/hellobrowser/howdy>
By default there is no info for Web Storage, so you will need a custom
BrowserInfoPage,
see org.apache.wicket.protocol.http.WebSession#newBrowserInfoPage

The best is to not answer this question at all.
Use a JS library that cares about the persistence at the client side for
you. So you use it as abstraction layer.

RE: Detecting HTML 5 Features in Wicket

'getBatherExtendedBrowserInfo()' really just builds a small page to test client side settings which posts back the information it's gathered. That page is provided from 'newBrowserInfoPage()' in WebSession.
Thus, if you want to plug Modernizr into your session before the page load, you can override this method and provide a custom page which includes Modernizr. Three things to note about this approach. First, you should probably start with just extending the 'BrowserInfoPage' class to get it's built in postback functionality. Second, this callback doesn't trigger until you call 'WebSession.getClientInfo()' for the first time, so make sure that's done before any heavy lifting. Finally, I would suggest embedding Modernizr onto your new page directly instead of linking a JS file. This is mainly to reduce latency overhead from multiple requests.

Thanks, I have already. I know how to detect HTML5 features using javascript, just wondered what is the best way to do so from Wicket code.
Given your suggestion, how could I use Modernizr to set browser state indicating, for example, that HTML 5 local storage is in fact supported.
I'm just not sure how to plug something like this into the initialization of the web application. It would be nice if the gather extended browser info support in Wicket supported these properties.
I'm just curious how others have managed to answer the question, "Does my browser and version support HTML 5 Local Storage?", from Wicket code.

I would suggest taking a look at Modernizr (http://modernizr.com/) for feature detection.
