I would suggest the following "radical idea": component path is an
internal concept. End-users never get to manipulate Wicket using a
specific component path. We only seem to use it to output debug messages
and for internal house keeping (to keep track of the structure). As
such, we don't care whether dots or semicolon or whatever are used.
Furthermore, I would argue, it shouldn't matter.
Either invent a String encoding mechanism where "." denotes a component
separator and ".." denotes a OGNL seperator that has been encoded or
represent a path using a simple List structure instead of String. At the
end of the day, ensure that the new implementation does not depend on
*any* character not getting used in the future. It should be smart
enough to encode away any conflicts or use a non-String internal
representation.
Is that feasiable?

Currently, you can't do:
add (new RequiredTextField("company.name"));
(which is: use company.name as an id) as Wicket thinks that company and
name are seperate components because of the '.', which is Wicket's path
seperateor. This is unfortunate, as it is a valid Ognl expression (which
means to get the name property of the company property of the target
object).

I somewhat object... I like the current behavior. Maybe I don't
understand what you are refering to by a "component path". Where is
this used in Wicket? Can you give me an example String where the dot
is ambigious whether it is a OGNL thing or component path thing? Is it
really possible to have a subcomponent having the exact same name as a
OGNL "member of a class" and have it refer to two different objects?
Thanks,
