No defensive copying happening. Just your plain old references
updating. Read the models page on the wiki about chaining models.
Put this in a unit test case:
State s = new State();
s.setDescription("I haven't read Wicket in Action but hear it helps
solve these questions");
PropertyModel pm = new PropertyModel(s, "description");
assertEquals("I haven't read Wicket in Action but hear it helps solve
these questions", pm.getObject());
s = new State();
s.setDescription("I'll buy Wicket in Action, just because I now get
why my property model doesn't know this new state yet.");
assertEquals("I'll buy Wicket in Action, just because I now get why my
property model doesn't know this new state yet.", pm.getObject());
This is basically what you are doing in your panel.
but if you did:
State s = new State("Foo");
Model m = new Model();
m.setObject(s);
PropertyModel pm = new PropertyModel(m, "description");
assertEquals("Foo", pm.getObject());
and now for the coup de grace:
s = new State("Bar");
m.setObject(s);
assertEquals("Bar", pm.getObject());
