Hi Martjin, it is not possible to compile the code without static. Without static I get the compiler error: "cannot reference repository before supertype constructor has been called". But I cannot write public ArticlePage() { super(); this(); } because each of them must be the first statement in the constructor. And I cannot inject the reference directly into the constructor because of the mentioned restriction of Wickets Spring integration (no constructor injection).
The only way out of this dilemma seems to be not to inject the repository. But if I cannot use injected reference within constructors I don't know why I should use Dependency Injection (DI). The constructors are very important in most classes of Wicket applications. I could use the the service locator pattern with it's pros and cons. But I hope there is a solution with DI ...
