problem: how to avoid inconsistencies when a user open a link in a new window

[Marilen Corciovei <le...@nemesisit.rdsnet.ro>]

I am having problem with users opening a link in a new window. I tried
to store specific navigation data in the visit but this result in
inconsistencies. My ideea was to make all the links carry some data as
parameters. Can this be done in some way without modifind every
component?

Please, can anyone give a hint, Len

Thanks for your response the problem is as follows:

assume I have a page which gets some parameters, it uses them to render
itself. The page also contains a table component. When the user clicks a
table column which is a DirectLink this one will call the page again but
with the original parameters lost. I am trying to find a way not to be
forced to modify the table column to send the original parameters also.
I was thinking of extending DirectService. I know how to handle
parameter sending with my own links but not with others from existing
components and I hope not to rewrote them.

Not sure about this: when someone clicks on a link, why not have
a listener that responds to the click.  It knows which page to
select, and you can retrieve that page and set whatever you
need to in it and then activate it:

    public void myListener(IRequestCycle cycle) {
        MyPage page = (MyPage) cycle.getPage("MyPage");

        page.setThings(getThingsFromSomewhere());

        cycle.activate(page);
    }
