Pretty URLs depending on a Page's state (not params)
Hi everybody,
AFAIK it is not possible to have a variable nice URL for a page without
using PageParameters, right?
If I am right: shouldn't it be possible?
Perhaps I'm missing the point or not knowing the internals good enough
(probably both ;-), but what I imagine is to map parts of the URL to
properties of the Page (or Models).
Why? I want to have pretty URLs, but I feel that not *every* view option
should be carried around through PageParameters, for this reason, I am
currently constructing a new page with every request (just for the URL's
sake) with the param I want to see in the URL + having the page's state
(view options - which shall not appear in the URL) saved to the session.
Example: I think it would be cool to be able to do something like this:
FriendListPage page = new FriendListPage();
page.setUser("myUsername");
page.setSorting("asc");
response.setRedirect(page);
and have a resulting URL like
/user/myUsername
while the sorting is not stored in the URL.
and later (on the page itself - when the user wants to switch sorting):
FriendlyPage.this.setSorting("desc");
setResponsePage(FriendlyPage.this);
Would that be feasible?
If there's another way to do it, I would be happy if someone could point it
out to me...
Thanks a lot :)

Hi,
You can suppress the version number in the URL. Doing so will make the
encoder always take the last version of the page (or create a new one
when it is not present).

thanks for pointing this out... i've seen this one before, but somehow
completely misunderstood how it is supposed to work :-/
still, it is not exactly what i had in mind, since it attaches a version
number to every url and AFAIK having the very same content accessible
through different URLs is something our beloved search engine sees as a
reason to decrease a page's rating...
But as I thought about it, I realized that it is just not possible to save a
page state without passing an identifier in the url... this would destroy
support for conflictless multiple browser windows within a session.
Thus, I will either have to go for one of the mentioned solutions.
Thanks for your input, it was very helpful :)

There will be one, I plan such thing for 1.5. :) Based on how Brix handles URLs.

hmmm i'm not sure... sometimes i'd like to have a pretty url, even if it
does not hold the exact state of the page... in my example: the re-sorted
list of friends would be still bookmarkable, however the sorting would be
reset when the bookmarked URL is loaded.
the problem is also that a lot of components produce non-pretty URLs because
they need to hold state, e.g. PagingNavigator - I think it would be great
if they could hold state, but the resulting pages would still be
pretty-URLed (even if the state (e.g. offset) gets lost in the URL)

yeah, that is a good idea, thanks for inspiration :)
but still I would be even happier with wicket if there was a hybrid solution
which enabled a page to hold state beyond its pretty URL params

no. having a nice/bookmarkble url means having all the state in the
url. this means you can only effectively have state that is composed
of strings, this is what pageparameters does. when this url is invoked
wicket has to figure out how to construct the page object, eg which
constructor to use. that is why we have pageparameters, it helps you
manage the state and help wicket find the right constructor.

and you can do it like this:
PageParameters params=new PageParameters();
params.set("user","myusername");
params.set("sort","asc");
setresponsepage(mypage.class, params);
you can also encapsulate parameter creation within a page factory
method to make it cleaner
setresponsepage(mypage.class, mypage.params("myusername", "asc"));
