I'm pretty confused here... It looks like WICKET-2771 was implemented in the 1.4.x branch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/wicket/branches/wicket-1.4.x/wicket-spring/src/main/java/org/apache/wicket/spring/injection/annot/AnnotProxyFieldValueFactory.java?p2=%2Fwicket%2Fbranches%2Fwicket-1.4.x%2Fwicket-spring%2Fsrc%2Fmain%2Fjava%2Forg%2Fapache%2Fwicket%2Fspring%2Finjection%2Fannot%2FAnnotProxyFieldValueFactory.java&p1=%2Fwicket%2Fbranches%2Fwicket-1.4.x%2Fwicket-spring%2Fsrc%2Fmain%2Fjava%2Forg%2Fapache%2Fwicket%2Fspring%2Finjection%2Fannot%2FAnnotProxyFieldValueFactory.java&r1=948228&r2=948227&view=diff&pathrev=948228 )
And JIRA agrees both in Fix Version (1.4.8) and the commit log: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-2771?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.ext.subversion%3Asubversion-commits-tabpanel Yet I've checked both the release downloads and SVN for the release tags, for both 1.4.8 and 1.4.9, and none actually contains the change to AnnotProxyFieldValueFactory.java, though I do see the change to SpringBeanLocator.java. I suspect the change to AnnotProxyFieldValueFactory.java may have been accidentally merged away. I do see it present in the trunk. Regards, Paul
