hi sebastiaan,
You could use Java's covariant return types to override getModel() to return a specific type. Which would mean that you would need to subclass to "simulate" generics (with a new subclass for each type).
not really, you can do generify your components from a certain level and wouldn't have to subclass for each type. that way you could require formcomponents to have generics on them, without the whole component tree generified.
but i guess this would also lead to many questions why this and not that... i'd prefer living with have to cast when it comes to getModel/getModelObject... regards, --- jan. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
