I think there has been a huge ball of confusion here created on my part due to certain concepts i was focused on. The reference to ThreadLocal originated from here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/spring.html "Application Object Approach" ... Wicket allows you to provide a custom factory for creating this object, the wicket-contrib-spring project provides such a factory (SpringWebApplicationFactory) that, instead of creating an instance, pulls it out of the spring application context. Wicket keeps the instance of the application object in a threadlocal variable and provides various helper methods in components to get to it, so it is easy to retrieve dependencies in wicket components...." So the ApplicationObject is bound to the ThreadLocal and I think the Spring Dependencies are bound to the Applicaiton Object, so I made a logical connection there. -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/instantiate-panels-in-a-spring-bean-tp2946859p2952889.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
