Thanks for the hints. The conversion using nested models worked, although I have had to do some ugly things in the code because, unlike other fields, date fields model's don't get automatically updated when the form model is updated. Probably because of the converter model, it would definitely be better if we could work with something more "magic". But for now that's ok.
The problem now is that the date fields don't show up as expected in the page. I tried the DateTextField as in the examples but the button to open the calendar pop-up is not showing in the page. The DateTimeField (my first option) has a different problem, it shows an extra field that does nothing, I could not manage to remove it. Are these known bugs? I'm using 1.4-m3. See this image: http://www.simioni.net/wicket-date-fields-problems.jpg The relevant parts of the code for the class and page are the following: Class: private class RankingForm extends EntityForm<Ranking> { private CalendarToDateModel modelStartDate; private CalendarToDateModel modelEndDate; public RankingForm( IModel<Ranking> model, Component dataTable ) { super( model, dataTable ); add( new TextField<Ranking>( "name" ) ); modelStartDate = new CalendarToDateModel( new PropertyModel<Calendar>( model, "startDate" ) ); add( new DateTextField( "startDate", modelStartDate, new StyleDateConverter( "SM", false ) ) ); modelEndDate = new CalendarToDateModel( new PropertyModel<Calendar>( model, "endDate" ) ); add( new DateTimeField( "endDate", modelEndDate ) ); add( new TextField<Ranking>( "scoreRight" ) ); add( new TextField<Ranking>( "scoreWrong" ) ); add( new TextField<Ranking>( "scoreLimit" ) ); } @Override public MarkupContainer setDefaultModel( IModel<?> model ) { modelStartDate.setDefaultModel( new PropertyModel<Calendar>( model, "startDate" ) ); modelEndDate.setDefaultModel( new PropertyModel<Calendar>( model, "endDate" ) ); return super.setDefaultModel( model ); } ... HTML: <form wicket:id="form"> <h2 wicket:id="createEdit">Criar/Editar Ranking</h2> <div id="feedbackPanel" wicket:id="feedbackPanel">Feedback Panel</div> <label for="name">Nome</label>: <input wicket:id="name" type="text" size="20"/><br /> <label for="startDate">Data/Hora Início</label>: <input type="text" wicket:id="startDate"/><br /> <label for="endDate">Data/Hora Fim</label>: <input type="text" wicket:id="endDate"/><br /> <label for="scoreRight">Pontos para Acerto</label>: <input wicket:id="scoreRight" type="text" size="10"/><br /> <label for="scoreWrong">Pontos para Erro</label>: <input wicket:id="scoreWrong" type="text" size="10"/><br /> <label for="scoreLimit">Limite de Pontos</label>: <input wicket:id="scoreLimit" type="text" size="10"/><br /> ... Does anyone know a solution for these problems? Thanks! Eduardo.
