Question

I have a modal dialog in Wicket that contains a link. I need to open an external web page (for example, http://www.google.com) by clicking on the link. The target of the link is set dynamically. How can I do this?

I think that my question hasn’t been so clear(I apologize for that). I need to open Web page from modal dialog. Actually, I can explain the problem in the example of modal dialog that @Don Roby has proposed me (wicketstuff.org/wicket14/ajax/modal-window.0). If we click the “Show modal dialog with a page” link in the example, there will be shown the modal dialog with another link called “Open another modal dialog”. By clicking on that link, I want to open Web page (for example: http://www.google.com). My question is: how to open a Web page in this situation?

Answer 1

You can use a PageCreator (instead of setContent()), and return a RedirectPage:

ModalWindow modal = new ModalWindow("modal");
modal.setPageCreator(new ModalWindow.PageCreator() {
    @Override
    public Page createPage() {
        return new RedirectPage("http://www.google.com");
    }
});
add(modal);
