Hello,
I have a situation that keeps coming up. All of my solutions have
seemed clumsy, which makes me think that there's a better way of
approaching this that I just haven't figured out. Can someone point
me in the right direction?
What I want is to have a Page that uses CompoundPropertyModel, and
then include a component on that page that also uses
CompoundPropertyModel. So roughly it looks like this:
public class BigObject {
public SmallObject get SmallObject() { ... }
}
public class SmallObject {
public String getName() { ... }
}
public class BigPage {
public BigPage(BigObject object) {
setModel(new CompoundPropertyModel(object));
add(new SmallComponent("smallObject"));
}
}
public class SmallComponent {
public SmallComponent() {
add(new Label("name"));
}
}
If I try to do just this, then I get an error because the label that's
part of SmallComponent finds the BigPage model and fails because
there's no property of BigObject called name.
So obviously SmallComponent needs some model:
public class SmallComponent {
public SmallComponent(IModel model) {
setModel(new CompoundPropertyModel(model));
add(new Label("name"));
}
}
But what model to give it? I tried passing it new
ComponentPropertyModel("smallObject"), which didn't work because
ComponentPropertyModel implements IComponentAssignedModel and thus
can't be directly wrapped in CompoundPropertyModel. Adding a call to
wrap() in the SmallComponent constructor fixed the problem, but I'm
not sure if I can just call wrap and carry on or if there will be some
unforeseen consequence of that down the road. Is there a standard way
of doing this?
Thanks,
Willis
