Wicketeers, This question is to do with lifecycle execution order - it's not a bug as such, just a usage question - I hope you can help.
I have component X with an AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior, that triggers updates in Components Y and Z by adding to target. Y has a generic Behaviour that updates it's data. Z needs to hide or show itself depending on Y's data state. Y needs to use that generic Behaviour, as it's complex, does loads of stuff and is used throughout the system - so I can't change this. Originally, in Z's onConfigure() we set the setVisible() depending on Y's state. But that doesn't work as Z's onConfigure() executes after Y's Behaviours onConfigure(). Which is just the way Component.configure() works. Which is fair enough. So, I figured if Behaviours execute after onConfigure, I simply put the setVisible() code into a Behaviour on Z, and bingo! Only Y's Behaviour always executes first. Always. Even if I create it second, even if I add Z to their parent container before Y. I can't work out how to affect the order of Components/Behaviour execution. Note - I did extend the Y's Behaviour to update Z, but as Z has already completed its cycle, the state didn't actually update. Can anyone help? Cheers, Col.
