I've found a workaround. Not elegant, but it works: public class ArticlePage extends WebPage { @SpringBean private ArticleRepository repository; private Article article;
public ArticlePage() { InjectorHolder.getInjector().inject(this); construct(repository.findByName("index")); } private void construct(Article article) { add(new Label("name", new PropertyModel(article, "name"))); //... } } It looks a bit better than service locator pattern but not much. Any other suggestions?
