Constructors are simply not inherited in Java. You need to define one on all subclasses.

I'd like to have all my page classes as extensions of a common class (BasePage), which in turn extends WebPage.. The reason is that I need every page to inherit the same PageParameters constructor, so I have something like: abstract public class BasePage extends WebPage { public BasePage() { // Constructor for test purposes } public BasePage(PageParameters params) { // Do something customInit(); } abstract public void customInit(); } public cass ActualPage extends BasePage { @Override public void customInit() { // Do something else } } Everything is fine, except that when I try to request ActualPage, DefaultPageFactory cannot find the PageParameters constructors and falls back to the default one... I think this is because of http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;?bug_id=4287725 (I'm using Wicket 1.2.6, but if I'm not mistaken this affects beta2 also) So I was wondering.. Is this a known problem? ^^; Am I trying to do Something Wrong maybe? And if not, could I try to submit a patch with a workaround? (I know I could add a PageParameters constructor to every extended class, but I'd like to avoid it, if possible) Many thanks in advance!
