    Description

      From users@ mailing lists: http://markmail.org/message/nbkj3jkbmr6tjghk

      I tried to use a "marker" view model, i.e. a view model without any
      properties.
      I need it to trigger instantiation of a custom component(factory).
      I thought that I may put all the "properties" in the component, so the view
      model won't need to have them. It will be just a marker, like marker
      interfaces.
      This didn't work because of the code at
      https://github.com/apache/isis/blob/master/core/viewer-wicket/ui/src/main/java/org/apache/isis/viewer/wicket/ui/pages/entity/EntityPage.java#L124
      I will put the properties in the view model to overcome this check.
      Is this something that could be relaxed or this check has to stay there for
      some other functionality ?

      if(*!specification.isViewModel() && *visibleAssociation.isEmpty()) {
      

      seems to work fine with marker view model
