The problem is keeping a reference to the service.
Right, actually I skipped the "transient" keyword I use in my code:
class MyPage {
...
transient MyDAO dao= Locator.find("myDAO", MyDAO.class);
...
}
"transient" prevents the field from being serialized.

So, I will have to tell them to use the above pattern, just like telling
them to use @SpringBean?
Regardless, it seems that every engineer working with Wicket have to hit
their "serialization bump" one day, as you hint in your book. We'll find
out :-)
Thanks for the book by the way. It made me go much faster.

Dear All --
I was having an issue with @SpringBean injection -- my dao class was not
initialized properly with the dependent beans. I spent some time exploring
internals of CGLib and Spring Injections and then a thought struck me: how
really helpful is this injection?
Consider this code:
class MyPage extends Page {
...
@SpringBean
MyDAO dao;
...
}
vs. this code:
class MyPage {
...
MyDAO dao= Locator.find("myDAO", MyDAO.class);
...
}
The Locator is a pretty straightforward guy who pulls ApplicationContext
out of thin air^^^^^ThreadLocal variable and looks up on it, see the example
code below.
The former uses annotations, CGLIB and delicate injection. The latter uses
nothing and is a lot simpler and robust. Aside from marginal savings in
typing I couldn't find any advantages of the former approach. Can you?
Unless convinced otherwise, I am going to skip the @SpringBean altogether
and use the Locator thing in my application.
Thanks,
