["James Carman (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-767?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12604676#action_12604676 ] 

James Carman commented on WICKET-767:
-------------------------------------

Isn't this already done?  I'm pretty sure the consensus is that we at least need to generify IModel and it's already done.  So, are we good to resolve/close this?

> I find myself writing custom IModel implementations that depend on the underlying object being some specific type.  It would be nice if I could get some type safety using generics, e.g.
> class MyCustomModel implements IModel<MyCustomObject>
> {
>     MyCustomObject getObject(Component component) { ... }
>     ...
> }
> I imagine that this has already been suggested, but I couldn't find a JIRA issue about it in the road map.
> I don't think that the core Wicket code would change too much, except in cases where the code actually cared what was in the model.  Elsewhere it can just use IModel<?>.
