continueToOriginalDestination does not bring me back to originating page - wicket

Question

I am trying to sign into my application. First I throw the RestartResponseAtInterceptPageException (this is in a WicketPanel on my BasePage):
add(new Link<String>("signin") {
#Override
public void onClick() {
throw new RestartResponseAtInterceptPageException(SignIn.class);
}
});
The SignIn Page class contains a form (an inner private class) for the sign in, with the following submit button:
add(new Button("signinButton") {
#Override
public void onSubmit() {
final User user = model.getObject();
final boolean result = MySession.get().authenticate(user);
if (result) {
if (!continueToOriginalDestination()) {
setResponsePage(MySession.get().getApplication().getHomePage());
}
} else {
error("Authentication failed");
}
}
});
When this button is clicked and the user is successfully authenticated, I am not redirected to the page where I clicked on the signIn link but instead I stay on the SignIn page? I've tried debugging this, but haven't been able to find out where things go wrong.
I am glad for any hints that lead to my finding the error of my ways.
This is wicket 1.5.1 by the way.
Small Update because I got the hint I needed from the answer, there is still a bit of explaining to do. The solution looks like this:
add(new Link<String>("signin") {
#Override
public void onClick() {
setResponsePage(new SignIn(getPage()));
}
});
The SignIn class gets a constructor that takes a page obviously and I simply set that page as with setResponsePage to return to where I started without all the continueToOriginalDestination and exception throwing.

Answer 1

RestartResponseAtInterceptPageException is meant to be used to redirect to an interception page while rendering a page. For example, in the constructor of a Page class ProtectedPage, if there is no user signed in, you throw new RestartResponseAtInterceptPageException(SignIn.class). When the SignIn page calls continueToOriginalDestination(), the user is taken back to the original ProtectedPage destination.
Your use is not a typical use of RestartResponseAtInterceptPageException since you throw it in a link handler. Why don't you do a setResponsePage(SignIn.class) directly instead? If you really want to return to the exact page you were on when the "signin" link is clicked, you could also try changing it to:
add(new Link<String>("signin") {
#Override
public void onClick() {
setResponsePage(getPage());
throw new RestartResponseAtInterceptPageException(SignIn.class);
}
});
