/**
 * A custom {@link AjaxSubmitLink} that:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>does not trigger form processing, thus is invoked even if the form is not validating</li>
 *   <li>automatically adds the {@link GeoServerBasePage} feedback panel in the ajax target</li>
 * </ul>
 * When using it remember that you have to invoke {@link FormComponent#processInput()} on each
 * component you need input from as the standard form processing has been skipped
