> Due to the generic handling of Wicket and Isis, there is an annoying error
> message in IDE (IntelliJ (IntelliJ IDEA 2020.3.2 (Ultimate Edition) Build
> #IU-203.7148.57) and Eclipse as well):
> {{'setDefaultModel(IModel model)' in 'org.apache.wicket.MarkupContainer'
> clashes with 'setDefaultModel(IModel model)' in
> 'org.apache.wicket.IGenericComponent'; both methods have same erasure yet
> neither overrides the other}}
> It is displayed on every class which is PanelAbstract descendant. The root
> cause is the generic-raw-generic inheritance tree branch: PanelAbstract is a
> generic parametrized by IModel, and its ancestor, PanelBase is originally a
> generic parametrized by the content of the IModel. Basically PanelAbstract
> should be declared as
> {code:java}
> class PanelAbstract<U, T extends IModel<U>> extends PanelBase<U> ...
> {code}
> Of course, this is inconvenient and repetitive, but Java can't infer U from
> T.
>
> So it is fair cause to use raw type in-the-middle to change, "unbox" the
> parameter. But this cause a huge mess in the IDE. Two ancestors of
> PanelAbstract has the same method: setDefaultModel in IGenericComponent<T,
> GenericPanel<T>> (which is generic, and the method is default) and
> MarkupContainer (which is NOT a generic) won't match any more, although their
> erasure won't be different: the compiler complains.
> There is a comment in PanelAbstract about this solution describing it
> suspectious.
> My suggestion to solve this problem:
> Simply make the PanelBase to be raw, using Panel instead of GenericPanel<T>:
> {code:java}
> public class PanelBase extends Panel implements HasCommonContext {
> {code}
>
>
> This simply solves the problem, and removes the generic-raw-generic ancestor
> tree mess (Panel and its ancestors are raw types), makes the inheritance
> cleaner.
> There are some places where PanelBase is used directly, but these can be
> solve easily as most of them are PanelBase<Void>.
>
> Other solution is to keep the generic:
> {code:java}
> public abstract class PanelAbstract<T extends IModel<?>>
> extends PanelBase<Object>
> {code}
> but getModel will return IModel<Object> which is not compatible to T of
> course, so we need another method, for example getPanelModel() which returns
> T. This need more refactoring, so I suggest the first.
>
>
> It is a minor problem, but very annoying to develop new PanelAbstract
> descendant, so I would be happy to see a solution.
