i think that was eelco's baby but he gave up on it due to lack of
time/interest. so he might be the best person to ask where the code was.

bean panels arent that difficult to build with wicket, so you might want to
give it a try yourself.

if i was going to build one i would do this:

wrap each form component in a panel - textfieldpanel, dropdownpanel, etc

bean panel's constructor would look like this:
{
repeatingview repeater=new repeatingview();
for (prop:props) {
   border b=newBorder("borderid", prop);
   repeater.add(b);
   b.add(newEditor("editorid", prop, new PropertyModel(getModel(),
prop.getPath()));
}
}

and thats pretty much all there is to it.

newEditor() examines the property object whether that be Field or something
you defined, and creates the appropriate panel.

newBorder() creates a border that will contain the editor panel - this is
how users can customize the look and feel by adding whatever labels, etc
they want to the markup that is around the editor

I'm looking for a Wicket component that offers functionality similar to
the Tapestry BeanForm component:

   http://beanform.sourceforge.net/

I found the BeanPanel component in wicket-extensions 1.1.1:



http://wicketframework.org/wicket-extensions/apidocs/wicket/extensions/markup/html/beanedit/BeanPanel.html

It appears that this class was removed from Wicket 1.2

I searched the Subversion repository but I could not find the source
code for BeanPanel.  I looked in
wicket-extensions, wicket-examples, and wicket-sandbox.   Is anybody
working on BeanPanel? Where can I find the code?
