Category: core Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nathan Hamblen (nathan_hamblen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: ListView with compound property model wrapping (built in) Initial Comment: Wicket continues to take heat from all directions for its chunky "loop" code, usually implemented in examples with a ListView whose subcomponents take PropertyModels. People don't like to see field names repeated so many times in the code; it turns them against the framework. We all know it's very easy to subclass ListView to return a compound property wrapped model in an overridden getListItemModel() method. My subclass is called PropertyListView, and I use it far more often than I do a plain ListView. Forcing new users to make this essential class themselves might be a good execise, but it's killing Wicket in the marketing department. If such a class were in core, examples of "how to do a loop in Wicket" could shed off a quarter of their weight. It would save the fans a lot of rationalization trying to justify the (in fact unnecessary) redundancy in the code. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=684978&aid=1446794&group_id=119783 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
