Description

An implementation of the title() method on a DomainObject is not used when displaying the name of the object in the Wicket Viewer. It's quite a problem if the meaningful title of the object can't be constructed via @Title annotations (common for me).

 

Steps to reproduce

1. curl SimpleApp from github as per https://causeway.apache.org/docs/2.0.0-RC1/starters/simpleapp.html
2. Delete existing @Title annotation from property in SimpleObject.java
3. Implement a trivial title() method:

   1. public String title() {return "Marmot";}

1. Install and run as per instructions
2. Login and run fixture scripts to create SimpleObjects
3. View several SimpleObjects
4. Actual result: The viewed SimpleObjects have their title in page header and Bookmark list incorrectly showing the default title (e.g.  "SimpleObject(name=Baz)"), rather than the output of the title() method . See screenshots.
