Log bookmarkable page link execution
Hi,
i would like to log execution of bookmarkable page links. I know that
they are only renderered in markup and call the page from the browser.
Maybe someone has a hint for me here?
Thanks
Mike

Not sure if this is the same as what you want but we've made all our
page classes derive from a common base which performs the logging
function in the constructor so that you can't miss a log. You can do
some reflection to grab the name of the page class instance or create a
method that is overridden by every page class.
The later method has the advantage that it can include context
information as well.

Mike, since I didn't really understand your use case, I'm not sure a
site-wide link decorator is the best way to go. You might keep it simple and
just print a log statement when certain actions are performed, then
periodically grep through your log files to generate statistics. My
suggestion assumed you wanted to know both the "from" and "to" of each
bookmarkable link click.
Chris, I can see how that would work. I guess I'm of the opinion that Wicket
provides enough listener hooks that inheritance needn't come into the
picture. It's easy to inherit one behavior, but things can get messy when
you want to mix in multiple behaviors. If some use case requires
per-component customization as you suggest, you can throw an interface
specific to the use case onto those particular components and do some
"instanceof" checks in your application-wide listeners.

Thanks Dan,
my intention is to track ux with our shop. We have for instance a link
you can configure how many
products you see per page. Because we don't know what is the best "view
size" we want to check
if users use our preselection or "always" change it to other values.
I will try your suggestion and post the solution (if i can :-).
Thanks

Is your goal to understand which links are used to open certain bookmarkable
pages? If so, here's an approach that might get you started.
Create a Behavior which appends a tracking query parameter to
BookmarkablePageLinks. You could add it manually to each link you want to
track, or apply it application-wide through
an IComponentOnBeforeRenderListener registered with
Application#addPreComponentOnBeforeRenderListener(). Then you you'd have to
watch for these query parameters in subsequent application requests, maybe
by inspecting the Request object in an Application#newRequestCycle()
override.
Hope that helps,
Dan

Why not use the RequestLogger? (see chapter 14 of Wicket in Action)
