DateTimeField w/ a CompoundPopertyModel

[Alex Pine]

Hi all,
I am trying to use the DateTimeField from the
org.apache.wicket.extensions.yui.calendar package, and i have run into a
snafu that I can't figure out. When I submit the form, my feedback panel
reacts as if I had not filled it in when I have. I can't figure out why this
happens. Here is what my code looks like:

// package and import statments...

public class MyPage extends BasePage {

// some fields

public MyPage() {
        super();

       MyModelObj pojo = new MyModelObj();

        CompoundPropertyModel model = new CompoundPropertyModel(pojo);
        Form regForm = new RegisterForm("registerForm", model);
        FeedbackPanel feedback = new FeedbackPanel("feedback");

        TextField name = new TextField("name");
        name.setRequired(true);

        DateTimeField startTime = new DateTimeField("startTime");
        startTime.setRequired(true);

        regForm.add(name);
        regForm.add(startTime);

        add(regForm);
        add(feedback);
    }

    class RegisterForm extends Form {

        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

        public ExperimentRegisterForm(String id, CompoundPropertyModel
model) {
            super(id, model);
        }

        @Override
        protected void onSubmit() {

            RecruitSession session = getRecruitSession();
            Experimenter experimenter = (Experimenter) session.getUser();
MyModelObj pojo = (MyModelObj) session.getPojo();
            Experiment experiment = (Experiment) getModelObject();
            experiment.setExperimenter(experimenter);
            experiment.setValid(true);
            experimenter.addExperiment(experiment);
            /**
             * make a detachable model so that the user can use the "back"
             * button without losing everything in the form.
             */
            expModel = new DetachableExperimentModel(experiment,
experimentDAO);

            log.info("Attempting to persist newly created experiment: " +
experiment);

            experimentDAO.persistExperiment(experiment);
            setResponsePage(new ExperimenterHome());
        }
    }
