Description

I want to request a static set method on RequestCycle to set the cycle in the current ThreadLocal, so that Wicket can create components and such in a different thread than where the HTTP request entered.
Without this a WicketRuntimeException("Can not set the attribute. No RequestCycle available") is thrown from the Session.setAttribute method.

Suggested implementation:
public static void set(RequestCycle cycle)

{ current.set(cycle); }

This is similar to the static set methods for Session and Application.

This method can also be protected if desired.
