Just in case anybody is interested in the solution.
I've extended ChoiceFilteredPropertyColumn (as that was the type of
column I was using for my AjaxFallbackDefaultDataTable) and have
overridden populateItem (which was originally implemented in
PropertyColumn). In that method I both truncate the table data and add
the PrototipBehavior that shows the tooltip.

Like this (for a basic html tooltip):
cellItem.add( new SimpleAttributeModifier("title", maximalStringModel) );
Or use one of the js-library wrappers from Wicket Stuff for something
slicker?

Thanks for the ideas, but the truncating itself is not the main
problem. (I could easily truncate the data in the
SortableDataProvider.) The main problem that requires met to dive
deeply into the code is my requirement to also show the full data in
a tooltip.

Create some kind of generic StringTruncatingModel that does the
"..." truncation on getObject().
In DataTable.populateItem(), wrap the row model in a
StringTruncatingModel, before passing to the Label being used to
show the string?

I thought it would be a cool idea to truncate the data in my table,
so the data isn't spread over several lines in the table row. It
should then be possible to read the complete content in a tooltip.
After digging into the code of the AjaxFallbackDefaultDataTable I
found that to do this I would have to alter/copy the entire
structure, as it seemed the code I need to alter is inside
AbstractDataGridView.
This seems like an aweful lot of work for such a relatively small
feature. So my question is, has anybody ever tried this before? And
even if not, do you have a better idea how to tackle this?
So I want the content of a single field to go from this:
Struts: the
complete
reference
to
Struts: the... (with a tooltip listing the whole title)
