Hi guys,

I have the following scenario to implement and I couldn't devise my own
solution or find anywhere on the internet something that could help me, so I
thought to give it a try on this mailing list. So here it goes the issue
that I have:

I want to add to a list view different components dynamically. E.g.,
depending on the listItem model, I want to add an input field or a select
box to my list view. And I also want to use the CompoundPropertyModel for
these components added dynamically. 

What I did until now was something like this: in the populateItem method of
the listView I set the model of the listItem to be a compound propertymodel
like this: 

listItem.setModel(new
CompoundPropertyModel(fieldDescriptorListItem.getModel()));

Then, I added a Label to the listItem like this: listItem.add(new
Label("name")); //the model has a name property -this works

The model class has a type property which tells me what type of component I
should display: input or select and a String property which is used to hold
the value entered/selected by the user.

Now, I want to add input or select fields dynamically based on the model
type property. In order to do that, the only solution I could find was to
create a panel for each type of field I wanted to add, e.g. TextFieldPanel
or DropDownBoxPanel. Then I added that panel to the listView. This is not
good for me, because this way I cannot bind the value entered by the user to
the model using the compound property model, since I have an intermediary
panel. Is there a way I could avoid wrapping the components in this
intermediary panel? I found this link:
https://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/page-with-dynamic-components.html suggesting
to use the wicket:container tag but I could not make it work. 

Do you have any ideas on how this can be accomplished?

Thanks in advance,
Cristi
