About 2 years ago (yeah, wow!) someone on this list helped me figure out how to load external images onto my pages and it worked perfectly, until I upgraded to 1.3.x from 1.2.4. I don't know much about the internals of how it works, it's a lot of code, and I really didn't care how it worked, it just did!
Now that it's broken due to the upgrade, I'm trying to figure out what's going on and I think I've pinpointed where it's failing. The class signature looks like so: public class ImageResource extends DynamicWebResource ...and in there is a method that gets the ResourceState: protected ResourceState getResourceState() In there, I get the params: ValueMap params = getParameters(); byte[] data = null; String imageId = params.get("file").toString(); System.out.println("IMAGE ID: " + imageId); if (imageId.contains(PropertyProxy.getExternalImagesRoot()) || imageId.contains(PropertyProxy.getExternalImagesAltRoot())) System.out.println("YES! - STRING CONTAINS IMAGE ROOT CONFIG PROPERTY!!!"); else System.out.println("NO... - STRING DOES NOT CONTAIN IMAGE ROOT CONFIG PROPERTY."); So with this, I could make a call in a Wicket page like so: //get reference to Application's ResourceReference ResourceReference imageResource = new ResourceReference("imageResource"); //build URL of image from file String imgUrl = RequestCycle.get().urlFor(imageResource) + "?file=C:\\MyApp\\assets\\images\\category\\Bundles.jpg"; add(getContainer("bundleThumbImg", "src", imgUrl)); However, now the "file" parameter can't be cast as a String, strangely enough, I get this output when running what I showed above: IMAGE ID: [Ljava.lang.String;@25249a NO... - STRING DOES NOT CONTAIN IMAGE ROOT CONFIG PROPERTY. This is where everything breaks down for me. I expected (and always got in Wicket 1.2.x) the actual value of the "file" param in the URL shown above. Can anyone offer any advice?
