New and noteworthy

Before WICKET-6498 users used to create a custom implementation of IHeaderResponseDecorator to place JavaScript items inside page body:

    @Override
    public void init()
    {
       setHeaderResponseDecorator(new JavaScriptToBodyCustomResponseDecorator("footer-container"));
    }

See user guide for more details. Now each application has a default IHeaderResponseDecorator, which decorates header responses with a ResourceAggregator. Applications have to make sure, that each response is now explicitly decorated with a ResourceAggregator too:

    @Override
    public void init()
    {
       setHeaderResponseDecorator(response -> 
       {
            return new ResourceAggregator(new JavaScriptFilteredIntoFooterHeaderResponse(response, "footer-container"));
       });
    }

Caveats

WICKET-6498 might not work as expected due to a known issue with all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE > 10) which allows deferred scripts to be executed before DOMContentLoaded is fired. For this reason WICKET-6498 should be avoided for production applications and used carefully.
