Hi Christian,
It probably doesn't help you, but I managed to get something like what
you're probably after, using the HTML viewer...
I ignored your execution plan chooser class, and used your
"choicesExecutionPlan" on the ToDoItem itself.
I left the execution plan choices as transient.
In the HMTL viewer, when I then edit a ToDoItem, I can select one of
the 3 transient execution plans.
When I choose "Save", I edited the HTML viewer's EditTask class to
persist any transient properties - which would then persist the 1
execution plan selected above.
Anyway - what this proves is that your problems are with the Wicket
viewer implementation...
Perhaps there is a way to edit the Wicket viewer to achieve the same
kind of functionality.
It's not ideal..
One real question is "Why does the choicesXXX method get called so
many times in the Wicket viewer?"
Regards,
Kevin
