java.util.Properties as Form Model

2013-10-18 Thread Andy Van Den Heuvel 
Hey,

I'm trying to create a form with a CompoundPropertyModel to fill a
java.util.Properties object dynamically.

FormProperties form = new Form(form, new
CompoundPropertyModel(properties));
form.add(new TextFieldString(host));
form.add(new TextFieldString(port));

This works correct when I start from an empty java.util.Properties object.
If I have an existing java.util.Properties object (with filled data)
and I remove the value in the html page, I want the key-value pair to be
deleted from the Properties object.

With my current implementation I get a stacktrace (because it tries to
write a null value in the java.util.Properties object)

java.lang.NullPointerException
 at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:432)
 at
org.apache.wicket.core.util.lang.PropertyResolver$MapGetSet.setValue(PropertyResolver.java:803)
 at
org.apache.wicket.core.util.lang.PropertyResolver$ObjectAndGetSetter.setValue(PropertyResolver.java:644)
 at
org.apache.wicket.core.util.lang.PropertyResolver.setValue(PropertyResolver.java:144)


Has anybody have an idea how best to create this behaviour?
Thanks in advance for your help!

An idea is to wrap the Properties object in a class of your own
implementing Map as follows:

class MyProps implements MapString, String {
  Properties props;

  public void put(String key, String value) {
if (value == null) props.remove(key);
else props.put(key, value);
}

This does sound like a bug in PropertyResolver as it should probably test
whether the Map is a Hashtable and call remove() since Hashtable is
documented to throw an NPE when put() is called with a null value.

This indeed solves the trick. I'm not sure this is a bug, since the
propertyresolver is a general system and Hashtable is just an exception to
normal javabean rules.
