How do Wicket models work with the general?

Question

I would like to learn something about models that support the wicket, with a common. I understood the models, the prop model and the prop connection model.

But what about the model class? What happens if I do this:

Label<Person> label = new Label<Person> ( "someID", new Model<Person>() )

What will be displayed on this label? toString output?

Let's say I have the same in TextField. What value will it set in this object?

Wicket source code is very well documented and requires no explanation. Labeluses getDefaultModelObjectAsString()from Component, which is as follows:

// Get converter
final Class<?> objectClass = modelObject.getClass();

final IConverter converter = getConverter(objectClass);

// Model string from property
final String modelString = converter.convertToString(modelObject, getLocale());

, , Wicket IConverter String. ConverterLocator, , IConverter , Wicket DefaultConverter, org.apache.wicket.util.lang.Objects String.

TextField IConverter String String . , Wicket String toString, . , IModel<Person> TextField, IConverter<Person>.
