[seam-dev] Wicket & Interceptors

All, Looking for some ideas/suggestions here (perhaps I am missing a trick here?). Wicket binds html layout/styling to Java objects which define the component behaviour: public class Home extends WebPage { @In Foo foo; public Home(final PageParameters parameters) { add(new LoginForm("login")); } } is doable, as we use a component instantiation callback (provided by Wicket) to make foo a proxy which asks Seam for the component *every time* the object is accessed. This is pretty ugly though, and I would prefer to use injection/disinjection. However, if we want to do: public class LoginForm extends Form { public LoginForm(String id) { super(id); add(new TextField("username", new PropertyModel(identity, "username"))); add(new PasswordTextField("password", new PropertyModel(identity, "password"))); } @Begin protected void onSubmit() { // Authenticate, and display feedback to user } } } } then no lifecycle callback will help. As you can see the new operator is used almost exclusively. This means we can't use a proxy based interceptor system. So, AFAICS we have to use byte code enhancement to apply an interceptor, I guess either at compile time or through a custom classloader. So, 1) is it worth it (this is starting to get very fiddly)? 2) is there a better way? Thanks :)
