Jesse Long commented on WICKET-4535:
------------------------------------
Basically, it all boils down to ISortState being generic. So many things make
assumptions about ISortState being ISortState<String>
> Inconsistent use of generics in sorting APIs
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WICKET-4535
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-4535
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: wicket-extensions
> Affects Versions: 6.0.0-beta1
> Reporter: Jesse Long
> Priority: Minor
>
> The Sort APIs use very generics inconsistently. Classes like
> SortableDataProvider, ISortState, SortParam etc do not all uniformly cater
> for sort properties other than string. There is a lot of unchecked casting,
> which is not really required, if generics were used across the board.
> Fixing this will probably cause API changes for 6.
