Interface IComponentAssignedModel

All Superinterfaces:

IClusterable, IDetachable, IModel, java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ComponentDetachableModel, ComponentModel, ComponentPropertyModel, ResourceModel, StringResourceModel

public interface IComponentAssignedModel
extends IModel

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.setModel(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
