[Wicket-develop] Making form component implementations non final

Sun, 30 Jan 2005 05:23:36 -0800

When working on the contrib section, it's quite irritating that most form component implementations (like TextField etc) are final. What I would like to do a lot (and think other users might as well) is just override such a class and provide a custom constructor that adds eg some attribute modifiers or validators. I also think this would be quite a common use case for users that want to implement their componany std's components etc.

I would like to propose to make the form components non-final *but* finalize all important methods that have component specific implementations (like handleComponentTag or handleBody) final.

Any objects/ what's your vote?
