--------------------------------

             Summary: Provide a new widget for collections to render hierachies 
in a tree-table.
                 Key: ISIS-979
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-979
             Project: Isis
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Core, Viewer: Wicket
    Affects Versions: core-1.7.0, viewer-wicket-1.7.0
            Reporter: Dan Haywood
            Assignee: Dan Haywood
             Fix For: viewer-wicket-1.9.0, core-1.9.0


For example, in Estatio there are several hierarchies

EstatioInstance ("global") /
  EstatioInstance ("italy") /
    EstatioInstance ("Roma shopping mall")

or:

Property/
  Floor/
    Unit

We'd like to render these objects in a single tree/table collection.

~~~
We should distinguish two cases:
- where all the rows are of the same type (EstatioInstance, turtles all the way 
down).
- where all the rows are of different types (Property/Floor/Unit)

For the former, the columns to use are exactly those of the (single) class.

For the latter, things are more complicated, as all the objects are of 
different class.  It's not clear to me what (apart from an icon and a title) 
should be shown as columns.  Perhaps just the intersection of those properties 
that are common across all types (eg name?) .  Or perhaps there's metadata (in 
@PropertyLayout(...)) to specify that a particular property should always be 
shown in such tree/table collections, even if it is null for other rows for 
instances of some other class.
