Help me understand this,.... An AjaxBased components send update events as they change!
That means except for SAVE having to save the data in one ajax request you dont need the other fields being AJAX based. See onAfterRender() this is able to give you the updated value as it happens: public ProductPanel(String id) { super(id); setOutputMarkupId(true); add(new Label("id")); //add(new Label("cost")); AjaxEditableLabel costLabel = new AjaxEditableLabel<String>("cost") { @Override public void onEdit(AjaxRequestTarget target) { super.onEdit(target); //Does the whole convert to text box magic Float cost = (Float)getDefaultModel().getObject(); log.info("[ProductPanel.AjaxEditableLabel.onEdit] cost prior to update = " + cost); } @Override public void onAfterRender() { super.onAfterRender(); Float cost = (Float)getDefaultModel().getObject(); log.info("[ProductPanel.AjaxEditableLabel.onAfterRender] cost after update = " + cost); } }; add(costLabel); //Updatable label add(new AjaxLink<String>("save") { //But are we saving for?? All the other fields are already AJAX based and sending updates! @Override public void onClick(AjaxRequestTarget target) { log.info("saving product .... "); //Line below gives -- WicketMessage: No get method defined for class: class arjun.learning.data.Product expression: save Product model = (Product)getDefaultModel().getObject(); //Will give ERROR :( log.info("[ProductPanel.AjaxLink.onClick] cost = " + model.getCost()); } }); } ..The model is updated on changing the value of the cost field itself. Also, its perfectly understandable why the Model is not marshaling (becausethere are fields other than the domain object , and obviously the "CompoundPropertyModel" doesn't know the difference between a Domain Model field and a field added to the panel for display. They are all part of the model, some of which not in your domain model. ..So where am I missing the point? :) -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/Models-and-panel-updates-tp2290043p2291094.html Sent from the Wicket - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
