             Summary: Problem when comparing model instead of object in 
NestedTree class 
                 Key: WICKET-7023
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-7023
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: wicket-extensions
    Affects Versions: 9.12.0
         Environment: Linux
            Reporter: leclerc cyril


In NestedTree abstract class (and Maybe in other components or classes) we use 
the model comparaison instead of object comparaison (model.getObject()).

In IModel or in LoadableDetachableModel We don't have any equals method defined 
(no default, nothing), it will use the default one what is not good.

example (l111) of NestedTree.java in wicket-extensions library
{code:java}
@Override
    public void updateBranch(T t, IPartialPageRequestHandler target)
    {
        final IModel<T> model = getProvider().model(t);
        visitChildren(BranchItem.class, new IVisitor<BranchItem<T>, Void>()
        {
            @Override
            public void component(BranchItem<T> branch, IVisit<Void> visit)
            {
                if (model.equals(branch.getModel()))
                {
                    // BranchItem always outputs its markupId
                    target.add(branch);
                    visit.stop();
                }
            }
        });
        model.detach();
    }{code}
{{}}
Instead of comparing _*model.equals(branch.getModel()*_ should we use instead 
the object comparaison itself :

Objects.equals{*}_( model.getObject(), branch.getModelObject() )_{*}

If not could you explain us why we have to use the model and what to do to make 
it work properly ?

Even we use a custom extension of LoadableDetachableModel if we override the 
model equals we have to check the state, if state is attached, get the 
transient object and compare it, if not attached, compare the unid. Moreover it 
is possible in wicket core or other librairies to compare 2 models not attached 
(so finally quite ugly equals no ?).

What is the default behaviour of comparing models if we used the default models 
in wicket ? because even in wicket models (CompoundPropertyModel for instance 
no equals is defined)
