Depending on the degree of analness or laziness you can so easily create subclasses like I have here to save myself some keystrokes.

public class Container extends WebMarkupContainer<Object>
{
        public Container(String id)
        {
                super(id);
                setOutputMarkupPlaceholderTag(true);
        }
}

my ide..:)

How often do people give models to components like Buttons and Links?
Maybe the devs can consider alternate versions of these components that aren't generic and don't take a model (or assume IModel&lt;Object&gt;).

My code is littered with Link&lt;Object&gt; declarations just to get rid
of the compiler warnings :)

this is fine yes:

TextField<String> tf = new TextField<String>(new
ResourceModel<String>("key"));

the tf.getModel() returns a Model<String> else it cant and getModelObject
also returns a String.

But i agree for a Button if you dont give a model to it it doesn't make
sense
But if you give a model it does make sense.

But for a Textfield it makes sense that you generify it even without a
model
because it does inherit the model from its parent..

so yes its a bit of a split what is nice and what you want to do.

Thanks Igor....not sure if you really answered what I was getting at
though.
I understand generics however there are cases in wicket where I'm
wondering
what is best practices.

ie, using your example, a TextField using a ResourceModel, which way
would
you go;

TextField<String> tf = new TextField<String>(new
ResourceModel<String>("key"));

or just

TextField tf = new TextField(new ResourceModel<String>("key"));

And what do you use as a generic with the following code block;

class MyForm extends Form {

  public MyForm() {

     add(new AjaxButton('id', this));

  }

}

generic type on Component represents the type of the modelobject that
component will hold.

eg TextField<Integer> tf=new TextField<Integer>(...);
means that tf.getModelObject() is of type Integer

Ok, so I starting messing around with the new generics version of
 wicket....and I guess I was a little confused as to how many
generics
there
are. Silly question is when people are doing development are they
turning
 off all generic warnings in eclipse...that is if you are using
eclipse?

 I only ask because I come across components like TextField that
takes
a
 ResourceModel...I understand why the ResourceModel would use a
generic
but
 in this case am I forced to put <String> on the TextField.

Another example is AjaxButton that is being added to a form, what
generic do
I use here? The forms object model type? What if the form doesn't
have
a
 model, say it is using a ValueMap that is a global member of the
form...ie
 I've seen this usage in some login example of wicket.

 Just looking for some guidance here guys.
