Component and some derived classes lose the Model type information, not
parameterized by type
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WICKET-3242
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-3242
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wicket
Affects Versions: 1.5-M3
Environment: All
Reporter: Richard Emberson
Component and some derived classes (like MarkupContainer) are not parameterized
by the type of the Model. As a result, methods such as:
getDefaultModelObject
and
getDefaultModel
rather than being typed return Object and IModel<?>.
Code that uses these methods must then ferret out the type which, IMHO,
should not be the case.
Please take advantage of the strong typing that generics provide in the Componet
base classes. User code would be safer and cleaner if they did not have to
have the instanceof tests and casts.
Better to delay 1.5 than to only partially support parameterized types.
Thanks
