Considering most companies are still working on JDK 1.4 for their application servers (WebSphere being the numbero uno), there is a slim chance you will find Java 5 features in Wicket core. Of course there can be Java 5 /extensions/ and components outside of the Wicket project but that will seriously hinder acceptance for those extensions.

Perhaps Wicket 2.0 will move up the Java scales.

The need for doing unsafe casts on listItem's is quite a dangerous thing.



There has been over 10 years of Java development without generics. I doubt that the introduction of generics makes the casts much unsafer than the previous 10 years.
I don't think they've missed anything. Nobody says generics ain't good. But what good is to develop application using generics when you can't deploy it? Most companies around here are still using 1.4.2 and they are not willing to upgrade.

Sorry, but: Do you realy belive wroking without generics is as safe as working with them?
There are serious reasons that Java has generics now.
If you don't understand that then it may be that you have missed something fundamental about generics.

Hi all,

i read some posts about the dicsussion if generics shall be used in wicket. But those posts are realy old.

So how is the state today with the generics thing?

I think for exmaple for ListViews it will be a very valuable thing to use generics there!

The need for doing unsafe casts on listItem's is quite a dangerous thing.

Thanks,
Dave
