Description

Using jetty continuations does not work on wicket.

info about jetty continuations:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Continuations

Calling jetty's

continuation.suspend(timeout);

will fail as it raises an RetryRequest exception that is caught by wicket.

It should be let through instead so jetty server will be able to handle it.

I am no continuations expert but letting through the exception seems to be enough to make this feature work and have a wonderful push model support inside wicket

I will attach a patch that fixes the issue...
