let converter of component handle the same generic type that the model of the 
component contains
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WICKET-1568
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-1568
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: wicket
            Reporter: Peter Ertl
         Attachments: converter.patch

I think it will be straightforward to let the converter of a component handle 
the same type <T> that the component itself uses

----------------------

public class MyMoneyTextField extends TextField<BigDecimal>
{
  public MyMoneyTextField(final String id, final IModel<BigDecimal> model)
  {
    super(id, model);
  }

  // ...
  
  @Override
  public IConverter<BigDecimal> getConverter(final Class<BigDecimal> type)
  {
    return new IConverter<BigDecimal>()
    {
      public BigDecimal convertToObject(final String value, final Locale locale)
      {
        // ...
      }

      public String convertToString(final BigDecimal value, final Locale locale)
      {
        // ...
      }
    };
  }
}


I attached a patch that implements this change and ask you to take a look at 
and integrate it if you consider it right and helpful.

Best regards
Peter
