Java – how to correctly delete ajaxselfupdatingtimerbehavior from components in Apache wicket?
I had trouble adding and removing ajaxselfupdating timerbehavior in Apache wicket The behavior is added, but once I delete the behavior, I will soon appear "page expired" in the browser. I think it is because the deletion is not clean My setup is basically a tag, which starts to change through a timer, and there are two links: "go" and "stop" I want to be able to click "go" and "stop" (obviously I know it will never work the opposite way!) This is my complete tag:
<html>
<body>
<span wicket:id="message">message will be here</span><br/>
<a wicket:id="go">Go</a><br/>
<a wicket:id="stop">Stop</a>
</body>
</html>
This is my code:
// imports all from standard wicket
public class HomePage extends WebPage {
private static final int INTERVAL = 500;
public HomePage(final PageParameters parameters) {
final Component label = new Label("message","Hello").setOutputMarkupId(true);
add(label);
final IBehavior updater = new AjaxSelfUpdatingTimerBehavior(Duration
.milliseconds(INTERVAL)) {
@Override
protected void onPostProcessTarget(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
label.setDefaultModelObject(String.valueOf(System.nanoTime()));
}
};
AjaxLink<String> go = new AjaxLink<String>("go") {
@Override
public void onClick(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
label.add(updater);
target.addComponent(label);
}
};
AjaxLink<String> stop = new AjaxLink<String>("stop") {
@Override
public void onClick(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
label.remove(updater);
target.addComponent(label);
}
};
add(go,stop);
}
}
I'm using wicket 1.4 three
Any help would be appreciated thank you.
Solution
I solved this problem by using the stop () method instead of trying to completely delete the behavior
I really want to completely delete it at some point after stopping it (because my solution involves creating a new behavior every time I click "go", I want to continue to stop and start without generating a million behaviors), so I get to maintain a list of behaviors that go back and forth later
