Ok, regardless of this case then... I'd be interested to hear what people think in general about ListViews vs repeaters (package wicket.extensions.markup.html.repeater and kids)? Are repeaters a better solution in general/ only for certain cases (database) or just different?
I'm asking this because if enough people think repeaters do provide a better alternative, we should soft-deprecate ListView and start promoting the repeaters more. Now would be a good time, specifically because 2.0 is still open for changes and I would use them in favor of ListViews in Wicket In Action.
