Re: [Wicket-develop] Wicket IModel questions

yes, but Component is much more flexible than String.

i think you're hung up on trying to create some generalized data binding solution. i don't think wicket should get involved in that. wicket should have a solution that's really targeted at binding wicket components to their data in a flexible and useful way.

Hi,

Clear, to gain efficiency any of the proposed arguments passed to
IModel.set/getObject methods will work...

yeah, but these aren't models in general. they're wicket component models. in that sense, i think IModel is a whole lot more flexible this way.

i really dislike the idea of giving Component any more attributes, especially this particular attribute. in addition, it's important to me that Component not directly hold the Object. i think this indirection is a worthwhile abstraction.

Hi,

I not sure yet what to think about Jonathan's idea to passing a
Component, IModel whould be less clean, and gets a class dependency
(which is for sure less clean for my models having to import

Component),


but would work for me...

Is it an idea to use as said before what we in Servoy use? Give a
component set/getDataProviderID which is used in
Imodel.getObject(dataProvider)? keeping Imodel fairly

clean/simple but


have an excplicit identifier for modelobject lookup?

That's allright I guess.

implement that as an extension. if we use String, we're walled in forever. if we do this at all, i'd be much more in favor of getObject(Component) even if we just do Component.getName()



for now. 



make sense?

Makes sense, but I don't like it. Next thing to introduce is some fancy XML binding! I like Wicket because it keeps things



simple, and



you don't need to browse through tons of configuration



files to know 



what you're doing.

I also like stuff like Jan sent us:

class Row implements IModel
{
  private Map columndata;

  public Object getObject(String id)
  {
      return columndata.get(id);
  }
  public void setObject(String id,Object obj)
  {
      columndata.put(id,obj)
  }

So I am kind of +0.5 for changing IModel to the structure Jan proposed; I especially like the efficiency gain, and the

fact that

property model (or whatever its name would be in future)



would look



more natural. But anything that introduces any more 'magic' will actually make it fuzzier.

I'd like to know what Chris and Juergen think about this as well.

Eelco

uh, oh yeah, i guess obviously this:

public String propertyExpression()
{
return





((PropertyMappings)mappings.get(getPage().getClass())).express
ionFor(this); 



 }

needs to do the null check.  and not this:

public String expressionFor(Component component)
{
String expression = properties.get(component.getClassRelativePath());
return expression != null ? expression :



component.getName();




}
;-)

so it would be:

public String propertyExpression()
{
OgnlBindings bindings = bindings.get(getPage().getClass());
return bindings == null ? getName() : bindings.expressionFor(this);
}

make sense? ;-)
