well...this is all unique to the compound model because it uses the component's id to resolve the property. so when you passed in "this" it tried to use the form's id which obviously did not work.this will all be clearer in
2.0 where imodel looks like thisIModel { T getObject(); void setObject(T
Oops, solved it myself. I should have used getModel().getObject(null).
I found this out while stepping through the wicket code.
In my opinion, the documentation for IModel.getObject should be
extended. Right now it says:
/**
* Gets the model object.
*
* @param component
*
