Docu/Examples of Models and Generics in Wicket 1.4?

[Alessandro Bottoni <al...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,
I'm new to Wicket and I'm studying it using "Wicket in Action". As you
surely know, this book is based on Wicket 1.3, that does NOT use
generics, while the current version is 1.4 and DOES use them (as will do
the next ones).

Put aside this page:

https://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/migrating-to-wicket-14.html#MigratingtoWicket1.4-Modelchanges

I was unable to find any other documentation and/or example  regarding
the use of Java Generics with Wicket 1.4. (Actually, there is also this
historically-interesting report of the discussion about generics:
https://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/generics.html).

Does anybody know of any other documentation or example I can/should use
as a reference while studying this part of Wicket 1.4?

Thanks in advance.

Why do you see the need for documentation specific to generics in 
Wicket? Once you understand Java generics, their usage in Wicket is 
straightforward. Consult the Javadocs, and even that is often 
unnecessary---for an IModel<T>, T must be the type of the model object, 
for instance.

Please ask some more specific questions if you have any.

Cheers,
Thomas
