Hi, The "problem" you face is that Wicket tries to find both getter and setter [1] and if any of them do not exist then it falls back to the field.
I'd continue using a custom IModel for this use case. And I'd also change the type of the "amount" to BigDecimal! Doing math with doubles when dealing with money is a bomb with a timer! 1. https://github.com/apache/wicket/blob/51d9e533dc3a45183210a1f4852851b485f02ea3/wicket-core/src/main/java/org/apache/wicket/core/util/lang/PropertyResolver.java#L274 Martin Grigorov Wicket Training and Consulting https://twitter.com/mtgrigorov On Fri, Dec 1, 2017 at 7:54 PM, sorinev <sori...@gmail.com> wrote: > Wicket 7.9.0. > > I have a Java double that is linked to a Wicket Label.
