Package org.apache.wicket.model

Interface IComponentAssignedModel<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The model data type

All Superinterfaces:

IClusterable, IDetachable, IModel<T>, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ComponentDetachableModel, ComponentModel, ComponentPropertyModel, ResourceModel, StringResourceModel

public interface IComponentAssignedModel<T>
extends IModel<T>

Models that wish to substitute themselves with a wrapper when they are bound to a component (either through IModel parameter in a constructor or via a call to Component.setDefaultModel(IModel)) should implement this interface. One reason for a model to want to do this is if it needs to be aware of the component it is bound to. The algorithm wicket employs is similar to this:

 void Component.setModel(IModel model) 
 {
     if (model instanceof IComponentAssignedModel) 
     {
        this.model = ((IComponentAssignedModel)model).wrapOnAssignment(this);
     } 
     else 
     {
        this.model = model;
     }
 }
 

For an example see ResourceModel

Method Detail

wrapOnAssignment

IWrapModel<T> wrapOnAssignment(Component component)

This method is called when the component gets its model assigned. WARNING: Because the model can be assigned in the constructor of component this method can also be called with a 'this' of a component that is not fully constructed yet.

Parameters:

component -

Returns:
