Instead of introducing extra arguments to the constructor, why not simply move all this logic into a new method?

That is, introduce Component.bind(Component parent). We'd benefit from the fact that Wicket components could become JavaBeans and method-based binding is more flexible than constructor-based binding.

From past experience, whenever classes require arguments in their constructors there is always some flexibility lost. For example, you absolutely cannot invoke any code before super() if you subclass such a class so if the value of one of the arguments needs to be calculated or modified in any way prior to the super() call you're out of luck.

that would be very hard to maintain.
For example if you have a panel that is rewritten by using only the new
parent in constructor params.
And you add that in youre own webpage/panel that doesn't use that parent in
constructor param.
Then you get all kind of errors because the child panel expect to have it
all but because of the hierarchy problem
that we have then, he doesn't have it.

So i do think it is all or nothing.

I see, thanks for the explanation.

-1 for constructor change.

 - constructor refactor
Wow, that's a /major/ change and will probably effect every custom
component and every application written using Wicket.

I see the benefit of having a complete component hierarchy availably
right at the initialization of a class.

But wouldn't it suffice to just make the new constructors available, and
put a clear statement in the API docs? Then maybe deprecate the public
add() in the next major version, and drop it in 2.0 or something like
that?


        This opens up a lot of better markup parsing strategies for the
        core.
Just get rid of markup, it sucks anyway ;)
