The trick is to let the models do the reloading by id part for you.
If you take a look at LoadableDetachableModel you see it has an
abstract load() method. A very common implementation would be this:
public Object load()
{
return myDao.get(Movie.class,movieId);
}
of course you have to make the dao and the id available to the model.
The model will make sure that after each request the movie is
disposed.
If you only have a handful of these models you probably don't even
need to look any further.
However as you use more and more of these models you will most likely
want to build your own model (from scratch) to do more fancy stuff
like setting the object, retaining a copy of transient objects, etc.
Fortunately for this purpose there are several other models already
available like the hibernate models (i think in extensions or in
wicket-stuff). So you might want to take a look there before you start
building your own.
