1. first I'd like to ask if there is any good reading material out there regarding models. In particular I want to figure out all the nifty things you can do with them via nesting/chaining etc. I've read Wicket in Action .. but it seemed to gloss over the advanced stuff you can do with them .. and I've read the docs.. and just from reading those, well it's not obvious what you can do with them and why...
2. I have a specific problem and I'm looking for some hints. I have a foo bean that I get from a DAO layer. The foo bean has the usual name, description String properties. It also has an array of 'widget' beans called 'widgets'. The widget beans also have a name and description properties ans well as various others. So I have a form and I map the foo.name, foo.description properties to TextField components using a compundpropertymodel. The 3rd component is a ListView, which I want to use to display the widgets. First problem I run into is that the ListView model needs to be a List, not an array of Widget. So the compoundpropertymodel barfs at this point. I don't have any control over the beans and I'd rather not wrap them .. I want to bind the components directly to the bean properties. I'm wondering if there is a neat trick I can use involving model nesting or something like that to solve this problem? Or maybe there is a way to tell the CPM that for property 'widgets' .. do something different.. like array-to-List conversion .. I'm a wicket newbie and the model-penny hasn't quite dropped yet.. so any help would be most appreciated.
