Syntax error results in blank page
- by Philipp
I am new to wicket and trying to get some things working.
One thing that annoys me a lot is that I get a blank (0 chars of text) page whenever there is a syntax error on a page.
Striped down example:
Test.html
header stuff: doctype ... html ... head ... body ...
<span wicket:id="msgTest" id="message">MSG</span>
footer stuff: /body ... /html
Test.java
public class Test extends WebPage {
public Test() {
add(new Label("msgTest", "Hello, World!"));
}
}
This will output the page as expected.
Now, lets introduce an error:
header stuff: doctype ... html ... head ... body ...
<span wicket:id="msgTest2" id="message">MSG</span>
footer stuff: /body ... /html
I changed the label-id to something different then what the source-file expects.
If I run this code I get the already mentioned blank page.
However, for every request to a page with such a syntax error I get an error report in the log-file of around 1000+ lines. This error-report is basically just wicket-generated html of a page which describes the error.
This makes me wonder why wicket isn't displaying the error-stuff instead of the blank page. I'm not very experienced with wicket but to me it somehow looks like wicket is having trouble rendering its own error-page code.
It would be nice to know how one goes about finding syntax-errors with wicket.
Reading through a 1000+ line error-report for a small error like a misplaced character seems a bit tedious.
Thanks in advance for guiding me into the right direction :)
PS:
wicket-version: 1.4.9
stage: development
