      • isAjax

        public boolean isAjax()
        Returns whether this request is an Ajax request. This implementation checks for values of "wicket-ajax" url parameter or the "Wicket-Ajax" header. Subclasses can use other approaches.
        Returns:
        true if this request is an ajax request, false otherwise.

      • shouldPreserveClientUrl

        public boolean shouldPreserveClientUrl()
        Signals whether or not request processing should preserve the current client url - in other words, handle this request without redirecting. By default, this method returns false . For example, this method can be used to preserve the url that caused a 404 in the browser if Wicket is also responsible for rendering the 404 page. If this method returns the default value of false then Wicket will redirect to the bookmarkable url of the error page, instead of preserving the url that caused the 404 in the browser.
        Returns:
        true if current client url should be preserved
