Igor & Martijn -
Thanks for all the information. I didn't know about the existence of
metadata in the various classes; that's what I was looking for.
I have a question about the metadata implementation. The javadoc
indicates that the special MetaDataKey approach (rather than using a
plain Map) is necessary because object identity will not work due to
serializations and deserializations. However, although Object's
equals() tests for identity, other classes override it for tests of
logical equality. So why isn't it possible to use a regular Map and
rely on the programmer to provide an appropriate equals() for custom
classes?
Thanks,
Keith

Thanks for responding.
The User solution would work where all components would share the
same
reference, but I need each table would have its own reference.
Also, I was thinking it would be nice for each component to have
its own
Object. I realize I could have been clearer about that.
Thanks,
Keith

I'm coding a Wicket table and would like all the components in
the table
to
have access to a specific reference.
Another framework I worked with a very long time ago (Vermont
Views, I
believe) addressed this by providing a user pointer in the class
that
could
be used for any purpose the programmer wanted. It was a void *
in C; in
Java it would be an Object reference.
What do you think about adding this to Wicket's Component class,
and
maybe
even others, like Page, Form, etc.?
Thanks,
Keith
