I created a reusable component, PanelWithAjaxBusyIndicatingMask, which extends Panel.
The functions it has: It will add a transparent mask layer to the current page to prevent further UI interactivity when there are any busy Ajax activities. The mask layer will have an animation gif and a configurable display text (the default is: Please wait…). Both the display text and the animation gif file are configurable in the constructors. I am proposing it to the Wicket developers. Hope they will incorporate it into the next release.
