yes it sucks. i agree. personally i prefer code written against wicket
1.3. even in 1.3 i hardly had to cast anything and even with those
casts i do not remember getting any class cast exceptions.
i do think imodel<t> makes a ton of sense, but the types on components
are pretty bad.
in 1.5 i have an idea to fix it, but i am not sure it is going to work
without giving up compound property model. the idea is to remove the
default model from component completely and have user keep the model
as a field. in ondetach() we can then detach any fields that are
imodel via reflection. this will neatly solve all generics problems
but it has limitations.
anyways, we will see how it goes. until 1.4 i think the generics will
stay the way they are unless we hear a ton of users complaining.
