Hi Maarten interesting idea thanks. I think the major issue is the null pointer checking.
for your: public class Customer implements Serializable { public final IModel<String> firstName = new Model<String>(); public final IModel<String> lastName = new Model<String>(); } do you wrap this around you (hibernate/other) pojo's or are this additional fields?
