Minor Description
In wicket 1.5 and 6.0 we have RestartResponseException with a redirect policy to enforce a client side redirect. In 1.4 we need the following code fragment:
getRequestCycle().setRedirect(true)
throw new RestartResponseException(page)
Since client-side redirects to pages are very common I find it discouraging that wicket users have to get into some of the guts of request cycle just to understand the above fragment. Also client-side redirects will not work with page instances like here
getRequestCycle().setRedirect(true)
throw new RestartResponseException(new MyPage())
By introducing RedirectException this very
common use case will be a lot easier and more terse and though we want people to migrate to 1.5 or, even better, 6.0 it will not hurt to give some love to 1.4.
