The problem is that the tabbed panels have to know the state of other panels to generate correct stateful links. So we need some object that keeps track of all tabbed panels and their states. This object must be initialized before the newLink method is called. But this method is called during construction, so it can not know other tabbed panels when the first tabbed panel is constructed.
This object can be "pageParameters". The only problem is, that this object doesn't reflect the actual state in every case, because it is also used for url construction. The solution is to remove items from pageParameters after url construction if they don't reflect the state. And here comes the solution. It is now possible to use multiple BookmarkableTabbedPanels within one page. package com.helmbold.wicket.components; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import org.apache.wicket.PageParameters; import org.apache.wicket.extensions.markup.html.tabs.ITab; import org.apache.wicket.extensions.markup.html.tabs.TabbedPanel; import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.WebMarkupContainer; import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.link.BookmarkablePageLink; public class BookmarkableTabbedPanel extends TabbedPanel { private PageParameters pageParameters; private String tabParameterName; private int defaultTabIndex = 0; private List unbookmarkableTabIndex = new ArrayList(); /** * Using this constructor the following defaults take effect: * <ul> * <li>tabParameterName = component id</li> * <li>defaultTabIndex = 0</li> * </ul> * @param id component id * @param tabs list of ITab objects used to represent tabs * @param pageParameters Container for parameters to a requested page.
