Hi Christian, OK, I've been doing some work on this issue, and it is now fixed, I think, in master.
It's required changes to both core and the wicket viewer, so it'll get released in isis-1.1.0 and isis-wicket-viewer-1.1.0 (probably a Feb timeframe). It works through a new annotation, @Bulk. If added to an action (either an entity action or a service action to be contributed), then the action is rendered in the table view. It is called for each of the checked entities in the table. @Bulk actions are slightly different from regular actions (hence the explicit annotation) in that any business rules (hidden, disabled or validation) are NOT called. Therefore it is the responsibility of the programmer to guard for this; the method should just do nothing if its preconditions are not met. Also, at this point in time, @Bulk actions cannot take arguments. That is, an entity action must be a no-arg, while a contributed service action should take precisely 1 argument. To try this out, you'll need to build Isis from source, of course. Rob/Kevin/other devs: I think this design should degrade gracefully for other viewers such as Scimpi and HTML that don't yet understand this new annotation; they will simply continue to render in the same way. Let me know how you get on.
