Hi,
I have been trying different things to see if I could get my code to work (and
understand Wicket models better), but am still stuck. I have a attached the
(latest) panel class code which I hope is sufficient to help.
I was reading about different models (both online and the Wicket in Action
book) and thought that perhaps using a CompoundPropertyModel was more
appropriate and may help with my issues. Originally, I only declared
selectedRecordA (line 40) but didn't instantiate it. The select group
displayed properly but when I chose a record from the list and tried to edit
it, this exception was thrown:
WicketMessage: Attempted to set property value on a null object. Property
expression: recordA Value: Name=A-One
Root cause:
org.apache.wicket.WicketRuntimeException: Attempted to set property value
on a null object. Property expression: recordA Value: Name=A-One
at
org.apache.wicket.util.lang.PropertyResolver.setValue(PropertyResolver.java:125)
at
org.apache.wicket.model.AbstractPropertyModel.setObject(AbstractPropertyModel.java:169)
at
org.apache.wicket.Component.setDefaultModelObject(Component.java:3125)
....
I set breakpoints on the getSelectedRecordA and setSelectedRecordA methods, but
these aren't called when during the request cycle when the edit button is
clicked.
I then changed the class so that selectedRecordA is initialized to an empty
instance of RecordA. This got rid of the above error. However, I cannot save
the edit changes because the selectedRecordA is still the empty instance that
was created in the initialization and the persistence layer throws an
exception. This same problem exists if I try to add a new RecordA or try to
delete an existing one.
If I choose to cancel the edit and then select another record to edit, I get
the message "You must select a record to edit" (line 131). This is because the
cancel onSubmit sets selectedRecordA to null and choosing the record from the
DDC is not setting it to the chosen record.
Clearly I am not setting up this CompoundPropertyModel properly so that the
selectedARecord is set by the model. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
All help is greatly appreciated,
Shelli

you have posted an incomplete piece of code and somehow from that we
are supposed to guess what is not working? create a quickstart and
provide that.
