My general feeling, based on the couple of Wicket projects that I've been involved in, is that DataTable is best suited for a case where you want a fairly finished out-of-the-box implementation without a lot of custom tweaking or extra functionality. To make a grid in which you can repaint single rows I would try something that starts from more bare-bones components such as DataView and finding the relevant Items with IVisitor (operating e.g. on the DataView during the ajax request processing). We have done something similar but a bit simpler as we didn't allow editing the grid directly. Note the potential for race conditions if the user enters text and then, while the ajax request is being processed, clicks a row to be updated => boom. We worked around this by disabling the grid during ajax request processing (by using a layover being toggled by IAjaxIndicatorAware), but that cannot really be used if the grid itself is being edited and precisely editing it will toggle ajax events updating it.
