--------------------------------------
Summary: Misleading message in PropertyValidator
Key: WICKET-5692
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5692
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Thibault Kruse
Priority: Minor
in org.apache.wicket.bean.validation.PropertyValidator.java:
{code}
if (property_ == null)
{
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Could not resolve Property from
component: " +
component +
". Either specify the Property
in the constructor or use a model that works in combination with a " +
IPropertyResolver.class.getSimpleName() +
" to resolve the Property
automatically");
}
{code}
The error message is misleading, as other causes might lead to a result of
null. As PropertyResolvers can be of any type, the message should not assume
any given cause, but may hint at common errors.
In particular in my case when Using a bean Foo having a field bar of Type Bar,
and a Model on an instance foo of Foo having null for field bar.
Instead, it would be nice if the Error Message made an attempt to cast the
component model to AbstractPropertyModel and print the propertyExpression, as
well as the type of the modelObject, but without failure if the cast is not
possible, and reporting the modelObject is null if so.
