Thanks Josh and Daniel - both methods have worked. I have gone with checking
if the object is null or not like so...

  public class SomePanel extends Panel {
    public SomePanel(String id) {
      super(id);

      if ( data == null ) {
        return;
      }

      Label label = new Label("someLabel", String.valueOf(data.getId()));
      add(label);
    }
  }

I have decided to do this because I am not sure how I can format a date
without doing this...
      SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd/MM/yyyy" );
      Label dateLabel = new Label( "date", dateFormat.format( data.getDate(
) ) );

Thanks.
