Peter Ertl updated WICKET-2374:
-------------------------------
Attachment: model-of.patch
> Model's factory methods are inconsistent
> ----------------------------------------

> Key: WICKET-2374

> When looking at the factory methods of org.apache.wicket.model.Model I think
> that the naming of the static factory methods is not consistent:
> Model.of(Collection)
> Model.of(List)
> Model.of(Set)
> Model.ofMap(Map)
> I think it would be better to have these:
> Model.of(Collection)
> Model.ofList(List)
> Model.ofSet(Set)
> Model.ofMap(Map)
> Reasons:
> - Naming is consistent
> - When using a concrete type of collection, for example Model.ofList() for
> feeding a list view you don't want a different type like a Map or Set to be
> swapped in. From just looking at Model.of(items) you get no indication that
> list is required but only after getting a compile error later. I think the
> level of verbosity of having the type after "of" is helpful in most cases.
> you can get the type of collection from just looking at the method name
> (otherwise you have to scroll up and look for the type declaration or type
> some hotkey in your IDE to get the type, how cumbersome :-). if you don't
> need some concrete collection type you can still use Model.of(Collection).
> I attached a patch to implement the proposed naming (and deprecate the
> previous methods)
> would be great to get this in before going final :-)
