Re: Adding a User Object to the Component Class
Igor Martijn -
Thanks for all the information. I didn't know about the existence of
metadata in the various classes; that's what I was looking for.
I have a question about the metadata implementation. The javadoc
indicates that the special MetaDataKey approach (rather than using a
plain Map) is necessary because object identity will not work due to
serializations and deserializations. However, although Object's
equals() tests for identity, other classes override it for tests of
logical equality. So why isn't it possible to use a regular Map and
rely on the programmer to provide an appropriate equals() for custom
classes?
Thanks,
Keith

Thanks for responding.
The User solution would work where all components would share the
same
reference, but I need each table would have its own reference.
Also, I was thinking it would be nice for each component to have
its own
Object. I realize I could have been clearer about that.
Thanks,
Keith

Adding a User Object to the Component Class
All - I'm coding a Wicket table and would like all the components in the table to have access to a specific reference.

It was a void * in C; in Java it would be an Object reference. What do you think about adding this to Wicket's Component class, and maybe even others, like Page, Form, etc.?

Re: Adding a User Object to the Component Class
Adding another reference to component would increase the memory footprint for all users. You are the first one to ask so there's little to no demand for it. Wicket already has a default object slot: the model. If that doesn't solve your problem use the metadata.
