delete version number in url

Question

How can I delete or hide the version number in the URL introduced in Wicket 1.5?

Mounting a page doesn\'t help.

http://localhost/MyPage/SubPage?0

The solution using a self-created MountedMapperWithoutPageComponentInfo class doesn't work for Wicket 6.13+, the page won't respond to callback user actions. (Note that there are multiple versions of MountedMapperWithoutPageComponentInfo on the Internet.)

A solution for 6.13+ (tested with 6.15) can be found here:

// Put this code in your WebApplication subclass
import org.apache.wicket.core.request.mapper.MountedMapper;
import org.apache.wicket.request.component.IRequestablePage;
import org.apache.wicket.request.mapper.parameter.PageParametersEncoder;
import org.apache.wicket.request.mapper.info.PageComponentInfo;
import org.apache.wicket.request.IRequestHandler;
import org.apache.wicket.core.request.handler.BookmarkableListenerInterfaceRequestHandler;

private static class NoVersionMapper extends MountedMapper {
    public NoVersionMapper(final Class pageClass) {
        this("/", pageClass);
    }

    public NoVersionMapper(String mountPath, final Class pageClass) {
        super(mountPath, pageClass, new PageParametersEncoder());
    }

    @Override
    protected void encodePageComponentInfo(Url url, PageComponentInfo info) {
        //Does nothing
    }

    @Override
    public Url mapHandler(IRequestHandler requestHandler) {
        if (requestHandler instanceof ListenerInterfaceRequestHandler || requestHandler instanceof BookmarkableListenerInterfaceRequestHandler) {
            return null;
        } else {
            return super.mapHandler(requestHandler);
        }
    }
}

Then you can mount pages using:

// Put this in the init() method of your WebApplication subclass
getRootRequestMapperAsCompound().add(new NoVersionMapper("urlPatternOfAPage", YourPage.class));
