  • Method Details

    • add

      void add(Component component, String markupId)
      Adds a component to the list of components to be rendered
      Parameters:
      markupId - id of client-side dom element that will be updated
      component - component to be rendered
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the component is a Page or an AbstractRepeater
      IllegalStateException - if the components are currently being rendered, or have already been rendered
    • add

      void add(Component... components)
      Adds components to the list of components to be rendered.
      Parameters:
      components - components to be rendered
    • addChildren

      void addChildren(MarkupContainer parent, Class<?> childCriteria)
      Visits all children of the specified parent container and adds them to the target if they are of same type as childCriteria
      Parameters:
      parent - Must not be null.
      childCriteria - Must not be null. If you want to traverse all components use ` Component.class as the value for this argument.
    • appendJavaScript

      void appendJavaScript(CharSequence javascript)
      Add JavasSript that will be evaluated on the client side after components are replaced

      If the JavaScript needs to do something asynchronously (i.e. uses window.setTimeout(), for example to do animations), it may call Wicket.Ajax.suspendCall() to suspend the evaluation of the current Ajax call. The returned function has to be called when the asynchronous task is finished, after which the evaluation of the Ajax call is continued, e.g.

       target.appendJavaScript("var continueCall = Wicket.Ajax.suspendCall(); try { ... } finally { continueCall(); }");
       
      Important: it is recommended to execute your code in try/finally to make sure the function is executed even if an error happens in your code, otherwise all following scripts and component replacements wont be made.
      Parameters:
      javascript -
    • prependJavaScript

      void prependJavaScript(CharSequence javascript)
      Add JavaScript that will be evaluated on the client side before components are replaced.

      If the JavaScript needs to do something asynchronously (i.e. uses window.setTimeout(), for example to do animations), it may call Wicket.Ajax.suspendCall() to suspend the evaluation of the current Ajax call. The returned function has to be called when the asynchronous task is finished, after which the evaluation of the Ajax call is continued, e.g.

       target.prependJavaScript("var continueCall = Wicket.Ajax.suspendCall(); try { ... } finally { continueCall(); }");
       
      Important: it is recommended to execute your code in try/finally to make sure the function is executed even if an error happens in your code, otherwise all following scripts and component replacements wont be made.

    • focusComponent

      void focusComponent(Component component)

Calls to other render** methods will result in the call failing with a debug-level log statement to help you see why it failed.
      Returns:
      header response
