Currently, the implementations of AjaxEditablelabel and AjaxEditableMultilineLabel have a funny flaw: if you their model value is null/ empty, there is no text to select and no way to ever get into edit mode again.
I think this should be fixed; it is crazy to expect users to write special models for this case. One way to fix it is: protected Component newLabel(MarkupContainer parent, String componentId, IModel<T> model) { WebComponent<T> label = new WebComponent<T>(this, componentId, model) { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; @Override protected void onComponentTagBody(MarkupStream markupStream, ComponentTag openTag) { String string = getModelObjectAsString(); if (string == null || string.equals("")) { string = "..."; } replaceComponentTagBody(markupStream, openTag, string); } }; label.setOutputMarkupId(true); label.add(new LabelAjaxBehavior(ClientEvent.CLICK)); return label; } which would display ... on an empty model. And maybe ... could come from a non-final protected method so that it is easy to customize without having to know how to properly construct a label. What do you think?
