How to use checkboxes to select items in a listview

Using Use checkboxes to select items in a listview is a common thing to do. For example, you want to select items to delete from a list.

...

The wrapper:

Code Block

/**
{panel}
 * name is the wrapped object that could be your business object.
 * the selected property is just here to record whether the checkbox for
 * it was selected.
 */
{panel}
private class NameWrapper implements Serializable
{
	private String name;
	private Boolean selected = Boolean.FALSE;

	public NameWrapper(String wrapped)
	{
		this.name = wrapped;
	}

	public Boolean getSelected()
	{
		return selected;
	}

	public void setSelected(Boolean selected)
	{
		this.selected = selected;
	}

	public String getName()
	{
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String wrapped)
	{
		this.name = wrapped;
	}
	
	public String toString()
	{
		return name + ": " + selected;
	}
}

...

And finally the HTML page (FormInput.html):

Code Block

	html

<html>
<head>
{panel}
 <title>Test</title>
{panel}
</head>
<body>
{panel}
 <form wicket:id="inputForm" id="inputForm">
  <fieldset>
    <legend>Checkbox test</legend>
    <span wicket:id="list">
      <span wicket:id="name">test</span>
      <input wicket:id="check" type="checkbox" />
    </span>
    <input type="submit" value="save" />
  </fieldset>
 </form>
 <div>
  <span wicket:id="feedback" />
 </div>
{panel}
</body>
</html>

We've been discussing making working with checkboxes for selections from a list even easier in future, but this example is how I would do it right now.
