Get a specific Wicket Component within a Page

Question

What's the way to find a specific (known wicket id) Wicket Component within a Page regarding less effort performance?

Answer 1

Your options are:

• The get() method of the component which searches for a component at a specific path.
• An iterator() on the MarkupContainer which has all his children.
• Use the visitChildren() that has all children and grandchildren of a MarkupContainer. visitChildren() returns ComponentHierachyIterator which in turn has a method which has a method filterById() that returns another ComponentHierachyIterator with the filtered component(s).
