Martin, The problem is here: add(new TestForm("testForm", new Model(person)));
You are creating a Model, when in fact you should be creating a CompoundPropertyModel. Components that do not have models ( ie your RequiredTextField ) only "inherit" models that are of type CompoundPropertyModel or derivatives there of. To fix your example try add(new TestForm("testForm", new CompoundPropertyModel(person))); See the model wiki page for more explanations on models. http://wicket.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Models Igor -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin Bednár Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 8:37 AM To: wicket-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Wicket-user] Newbie problem with Model-s Hi, I have problems with updating models with data from page, I can't uderstand why it dosn't work :( Can anybody tell me what I'am doing wrong ?
