I LOLed at this: "Unfortunately, most of us are stuck in Java world where proper functions are still considered science fiction like flying cars and World Peace."
----- Original Message ----- From: "Carl-Eric Menzel" <cmen...@wicketbuch.de> To: users@wicket.apache.org Sent: Thursday, 21 July, 2011 7:45:02 PM Subject: A safer way to build PropertyModels After seeing the LambdaJ-based model idea at https://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/working-with-wicket-models.html#WorkingwithWicketmodels-LambdaJ I thought I'd try and implement something like that in a ready-to-use fashion, and simplify it a little. The result is here: https://github.com/duesenklipper/wicket-safemodel This is a way to refactor-safely and type-safely build models, without relying on brittle string literals: SomeBean myBean = ... IModel<String> childNameModel = model(from(myBean).getChild().getName()); No cast, no string literal, only getters. It works with regular JavaBeans, Lists, and with Maps (string keys only though). Instead of requiring a compile-time step this does some proxying in the background to construct a property expression. Anybody interested please give it a try and let me know of any issues. Note: If you feel comfortable with configuring an annotation processor in your Maven build as well as your IDE build, go ahead and try Igor's metagen [https://github.com/42Lines/metagen]. That way you don't have any runtime magic. Use SafeModel if you don't want an additional compile step and do want (very slightly) less keyboard typing.
