hi

a better solution than the maven plugin would be, IMHO, that the 
AnnotatedMountScanner checks when scanning that the pages annotated are 
effectively usable by the IPageFactory (throwing exception if not). 

This is easy to do, apart that IPageFactory doesn't provide a way to check if 
it can use some given page class. 

Could it be possible to some methods  in IPageFactory, like for example (better 
names welcome):
    <C extends Page>  isNewPagePossible(final Class<C> pageClass);
    <C extends Page>  isNewPagePossible(final Class<C> pageClass, final 
PageParameters parameters);

The refactoring needed for the DefaultPageFactory is small (few lines of 
reflective code).

Such methods would allow the AnnotatedMountScanner to use for sure the same 
strategy as the current one in use.

What do you think of that ?

If ok, I would gladly provide the patches next week (long week end starting 
tomorrow).

best regards
joseph

>
> currently, when the DefaultPageFactory doesn't succeed in creating a given 
> page, it throws a WicketRuntimeException with some message like " Unable to 
> create page from class org.demo.TestPage. Class does neither have a 
> constructor with PageParameter nor a default constructor".
> Could it be possible to have a specific exception being thrown (extending 
> WicketRuntimeException for sure) ?
> Thus, it would allow us to deal cleanly with this type of exception (and 
> providing a better error message to our users).
> thanks in advance
