org.apache.wicket.model
Interface IChainingModel<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The Model object type

All Superinterfaces:

IClusterable, IDetachable, IModel<T>, java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPropertyModel, CompoundPropertyModel, PropertyModel

public interface IChainingModel<T>
extends IModel<T>

Models that implement this interface will support chaining of IModels. getObject() of a IChainingModel should do something like:

 if ( object instanceof IModel) { return ((IModel)object).getObject()}
 else return object;
 

ChainingModels should also take care that the internal model detach is called when detach is called on them.
