Question

I’m having trouble pinning down the cause of a RuntimeException in a Wicket application. I’ve set numerous breakpoints, but none are firing when I submit my form, only when the form is loading. Here’s the stack:

WicketMessage: No get method defined for class: class this.is.my.class.WicketDocumentModel expression: DocumentUpload

Root cause:

I did find discussion about a similar issue here, but I haven’t quite been able to turn the advice presented there into a solution for my situation. My class does not contain a Java variable named DocumentUpload, but does contain this:

fuf = new FileUploadField("DocumentUpload");

Answer 1

I spent several hours on this issue, and once again, I figured it out 20 minutes after I posted to SO about it. The fix is to turn the upload field declaration into one that provides a model, like this:

fuf = new FileUploadField("DocumentUpload", new Model<FileUpload>());

EDIT: It turns out this was related to 1.3 -> 1.4 migration. Per the migration guide,

FileUploadField – now requires model

The FileUploadField now REQUIRES a model. This means that if you previously used the ID-only >constructor (i.e. new FileUploadField(“myFileField”)), you will need to change it to include >a model (i.e. new FileUploadField(“myFileField”, new Model())).
