This JS patch won't help because it always uses the default channel name - "0". It will fail as soon as someone uses an AjaxChannel with a custom name
{quote}
This is only a draft solution, not complete patch. I think channel name could be set the same way as in normal ajax request?

{quote}
I've implemented Emond Papegaaij's idea of pushing the Ajax response via the WebSocket connection.

I will test it and let you know if it works.
The only thing I am afraid of is that WebSocket request/response implementations are more limited and not all use cases will be handled properly.

> As far as I know in Wicket ajax calls by default using the same channel and they are queued. But in wicket-atmosphere integration on the client side the refreshing is done by calling (inside wicket-atomosphere.js):
>   Wicket.Ajax.process(response.responseBody);
> It looks like Wicket.Ajax.process() function does not use channels management, so it can result in out-of-order response processing. This method was added to support Atmosphere push calls in Wicket. See the commit (for issue: WICKET-4668):
> https://github.com/apache/wicket/commit/130b063722e55510f2b2a3b47889e14210a5a32f
> *Example scenario to reproduce this problem:*
> When we try to refresh a component (panelA) via ajax when two different threads in the "same" time perform such refresh.
> 1. The first thread (thread1) is a standard servlet container thread to handle user request from a browser:
> - user clicks AjaxLink and on onClick method panelA is refreshed by target.add(panelA).
> 2. The second thread (thread2) is a notification from a backend system which causes a panelA refreshing too:
> - it can be done for eg. using Atmosphere integration by EventBus.post() - panelA is refreshed by target.add(panelA) too.
> On the server side only one thread can access a page at a time so everything is "queued" properly: the thread1 panelA refresh is executed, then the thread2 refresh code is fired.
> But it looks like on the client side the order of ajax calls is undefined: sometimes JS code added from the thread1 is executed as first, sometimes as a second one. On my computer this order almost always is wrong. It leads to an incorrect situation when the component state on a server is different than the DOM tree on the client browser (so for example user can clicks not existing link).
