Nope. Typical reasons to use PropertyModels explicitly is when you don't use a CompoundPropertyModel on the parent, or when you want to use IDs that are different from the property expressions you want the model to work on. Also, note that you can use completely different models as well;

CompoundPropertyModel cpm = new CompoundPropertyModel (xxx); Form f = new Form(form,cpm); f.add(new TextField(username)); f.add(new TextField(notinmodel, cpm.bind(address)); Yes, that is another alternative to using property model. I didn't mention this since it only complicates things.

complicates? its only a much smaller notation for creating a property model And i think it reads very well. What would be better then something reversed? cpm.bind(textField,address) ? But then you have to first have a reference.to the textfield. We had such a thing in wicket 1.1
