What you want is to implement the EventBus pattern (formally Observer Pattern).
Basically, with an Eventbus, your panels subscribe to a given event and when some other panel "fires" that event the subscriber gets the message: Panel1: //Subscribe to event Type1. eventBus.addHandler(EventType1.class, new EventType1Handler() { @Override public void oneEvent(final EventType1 event) { //do whatever with the event } }); Panel2: onClick(.....){ .... //After some action, fire that something has change to all //those subscribers that might be interested. eventBus.fireEvent(new EventType1(whatever)); } I'm quite new using Wicket, but I haven't seen anything like this implemented. But I think it's quite trivial. It would be quite nice if Wicket itself provides you with an out-of-the-box EventBus, the same way GWT does. Have a look to the GWT implementation, you can practically "copy-paste" it. There it's called HandlerManager. I don't know what's the "standard" way to solve the problem you have. Surelly everybody has run into it sooner or later. I'm very interested in hearing what a seasoned Wicket developer has to say. -----Original Message----- From: Ben [mailto:benarje...@yahoo.com] Sent: Mittwoch, 8.

On Panel I have components RadioChoice, dropdownchoice,text area that accepts input from the user. Panel 2 has two textfields (accepts the login info) and submit button. When i click submit button on panel2, how can I capture the data from panel1. Here is my panel1 public class ImageQualityPanel extends Panel { public ImageQualityPanel(String id, WicketAnalysisForm aform) { super(id); ImageQuality imageQuality = new ImageQuality(); //model add(new ImageQualityForm("imageQualityForm", new CompoundPropertyModel(imageQuality), aform)); } private static class ImageQualityForm extends Form { public ImageQualityForm(String id, IModel model, WicketAnalysisForm aform) { super(id, model); add(new Label("qualityQuestion", (....))); add(new Label("safetyQuestion", (...))); add(new Label("locationQuestion", (...))); add(new Label("commentsQuestion", (...))); List<String> options = Arrays.asList("Yes", "No"); add(new RadioChoice("qualityGroup", options); add(new RadioChoice("criteriaGroup", options); TextArea notes = new TextArea("notes"); notes.setRequired(true); add(notes); DropDownChoice group = new DropDownChoice("location"); group.setChoices(new PropertyModel(model, "location") { public Object getObject() { List<String> l = new ArrayList<String>(5); l.add("Location 1"); l.add("Location 2"); l.add("Location 3"); l.add("Location 4"); return l; } }); add(group); aform.setImageQuality((ImageQuality)model.getObject()); I am getting null when i try to get the model data.
