Method isSelected in Select should be public
--------------------------------------------
Key: WICKET-2930
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-2930
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wicket-extensions
Affects Versions: 1.4.9
Reporter: Sven Ludwig
Please change the scope of the method isSelected in the class
org.apache.wicket.extensions.markup.html.form.select.Select to public so that
it can be called from elsewhere or even overridden in subclasses elsewhere.
Background: In our current project we came to the conclusion that the Choice
classes of the Wicket core are not suitable to implement panels with radio
buttons, where the radio buttons need to be rendered from an EnumSet or from
Collection. We particularly needed to be able to define the markup of each
option in a template. Moreover we needed to be able to define the CSS classes
on the option tag itself. Another requirement was Ajax support, in which the
selection of a radio button is immediately submitted to the server. We had a
look at the class org.apache.wicket.extensions.markup.html.form.select.Select
which we knew was doing a good job for drop-down boxes in the way we needed it.
We made the decision to create additional classes around it to support radio
buttons. Our approach worked, but we had to use Java Reflection because the
crucial method isSelected in the Select class is package local. Will there be
changes in the Wicket core or in wicket-extensions to improve the support for
radio buttons? I heard that in 1.5 there may be improvements.
