Hi

Wicket applications shouldn't be affected by javascript hijacking. To
be able to use this kind of hijacking, ajax response has to be
directly executable javascript. Wicket's Ajax response is a xml file,
which can not be directly evaluated, thus loading it from remote site
using the <script> tag will not work. And Wicket's urls are dynamic,
so there is not an easy way for the malicious site to guess the URL.

There is one thing to be careful about though. But this is not
specific to Wicket, this is specific to all kind of web application.
If you have e.g. blog application that allows users to enter comment
that other users can see, always escape the <script> tags, so that
user can't post <script< tag in a comment, as this can be used to
steal other user's confidential informations.
