How to execute an AJAX event on a CheckBoxMultipleChoice in WicketTester

I'm using Wicket 6.20.0's CheckBoxMultipleChoice and leveraging AJAX functionality by adding a AjaxFormChoiceComponentUpdatingBehavior.

This is working as required. However, using WicketTester to test the functionality of CheckBoxMultipleChoice seems impossible.

When I use WicketTester's debugComponentTrees() the only path for the CheckBoxMultipleChoice is its direct path, I.E. there are no child CheckBox objects or similar I can obtain to execute AJAX events on.

How can I execute an AJAX event, such as clicking one of the check boxes, using WicketTester?

CheckBoxMultipleChoice is an "optimized" form component, i.e. it uses String concatenation to create its "children" - the check boxes. If it was using CheckBox components then it would lead to bigger component tree and more memory consumption.

To test it with WicketTester you just need to set the request parameter with all selected values:

tester.getRequest().addParameter(cbmc.getInputName(), "value1");
tester.getRequest().addParameter(cbmc.getInputName(), "value2");
// ...
tester.executeAjaxEvent(cbmc, "click");
// assert
