The size() method was one of my biggest stumbling blocks when I started using
DataProvders, but for slightly different reasons (i.e. just having a size
method makes it less maintainable, perform worse, less scalable and gives
less accurate results). But when I tried to work around the size method, I
found it was very deeply embedded in the inner workings of DataTable. I
also think DataTable is too nice of a component to not use. So I came up
with a solution that doesn't require the DataProvider to have a size()
method, but leaves it in DataTable. I've submitted this to JIRA
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-579), but since it requires
changing core classes, I wouldn't suggest anybody implement it before it is
an accepted patch. (but maybe some support from others will help it get
accepted).
