Wicket Routes Mount

Apache Wicket is a Java Web framework providing clean separation between markup and logic.

This project allows to group page mounting in a single file. It also permits to set permissions on mounts.

Setup on your project

Add the following Maven dependency (available on Maven Central)

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.code-troopers</groupId>
    <artifactId>wicket-route-mount</artifactId>
    <version>0.2</version>
</dependency>

Standard usage

Then you will need to write your mounts in a routes.conf located at the root of your sources (typically src/main/resources/routes.conf)

The content of your file must look like the following (standard Wicket mount syntax applies : ${requiredParam} #{optionalParam}) :

# mountPoint            class                           roles
/home                   codetroopers.HomePage           
/secured                codetroopers.SecuredPage        USER

To parse the file and mount pages, you will need to add the following code in your Application#init() method

@Override
public void init(){
    super.init();
    RoutesMountParser.mount(this);
}

Regular expression parameter checking

If you want you can use the built-in mecanism allowing to check your parameters using regular expressions. This way you can easily define only numerical parameters or restriction over special values. When you want to use this, just add a : followed by the regular expression at the end of your param like this : ${param:[0-0]+}. Your routes.conf can look like the following :

# mountPoint            class                           roles
/user/${id:[0-9]+}      codetroopers.UserPage           

Package mounting

If you want to mount all the pages in a package, you can put the packageName after the mounting point in your routes.conf file. When reading the file, all the pages in the package will be mounted under the specified mount point (the standard PackageMapper is used).
