Favicon best practice

[Ian Marshall <Ia...@GMail.com>]

I would appreciate some advice on best practice for favicons in Wicket....

I subclass most of my web pages from a subclass of WebPage. I implement my
favicon in the way set out at the foot of this posting. I have two types of
problem.

1.  When testing the URL "http://localhost:8080/favicon.ico" on my local
machine (and a similar, production URL in deployment) I get the error like:

  HTTP ERROR 404 Problem accessing /favicon.ico. Reason: NOT_FOUND


2.  When accessing one of my pages descended from MyBasePage (itself
subclassed from WebPage and incorporating " ... " in its HTML mark-up), I
sometimes get the Google App Engine for Java warning:

  org.apache.wicket.markup.html.PackageResource getResourceStream:
  Unable to find package resource
  [path = ..., style = null, locale = en_GB]


I suspect that I am doing something wrong. Can anyone point me in the right
direction? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


HTML mark-up
------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN&quot;
&quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd&quot;&gt;

  
    ...
    
    ...
  



Java code
---------
public class MyBasePage extends WebPage
{
  ...

  public MyBasePage(IModel model)
  {
    super(model);

    // Both the do-nothing "ResourcesLocator.java" file and my "favicon.ico"
    // file are in the same resources package.

    ResourceReference rrefFavicon = new ResourceReference(
     ResourcesLocator.class, "favicon.ico");

    ResourceLink rlnkFavicon =
     new ResourceLink("lnkFavicon", rrefFavicon);

    add(rlnkFavicon);
  }

  ...
}
