I am interesting in writing components for editing domain objects. An example of such an object is Employee which has and Address and several other attributes. Also, I have Employer, which also has an Address. Now, if I want to create a component for an address that provide a part of the form, then I would like to be able to write it independent of whether it is the Employer's address or the Employee's address. In other words, I want to see an HTML template of the form:
<tr> <td>Streeet:</td><td><input wicket:id="street" type="text"/></td></tr>
.... other fields in a similar way...
In other words, I don't want to write wicket:id="address.street" because that would mean that the Address always has to be obtained from a model object using getAddress(). In other words, I would lose the ability to edit an address on its own or edit addresses that are retrieved by a different getter.
A first solution to solve this is to construct my own AddresPanel (extends Panel) with a reference to an Address object. The panel also creates its own CompoundPropertyModel based on the address. I tried this, and it works, but then again, back button support will be broken because when an old version of the page is requested, the CompoundPropertyModel of the Employer/Employee and Address will have different objects since they made their own copies.
It there a way in wicket 1 to share models? I was looking through the wicket 2 code and there seems to be something about shared models there. So what would be the wicket 1 way and what would be the wicket 2 way for doing this properly?
Cheers
Erik
