Example 6 with IConverter

use of org.apache.wicket.util.convert.IConverter in project wicket by apache.

the class Component method getDefaultModelObjectAsString.

/**
 * Gets a model object as a string. Depending on the "escape model strings" flag of the
 * component, the string is either HTML escaped or not. "HTML escaped" meaning that only HTML
 * sensitive chars are escaped but not all none-ascii chars. Proper HTML encoding should be used
 * instead. In case you really need a fully escaped model string you may call
 * {@link Strings#escapeMarkup(CharSequence, boolean, boolean)} on the model string returned.
 *
 * @see Strings#escapeMarkup(CharSequence, boolean, boolean)
 * @see #getEscapeModelStrings()
 *
 * @param modelObject
 *            Model object to convert to string
 * @return The string
