Hi ,

In our project we have many tables where we are required to display checkboxes and the associated records. So we have used  an equal number of wrapper classes for each object. I was planning to generalize it, by soing something like this(below code), but was unsuccessful. I am not sure how to cast an generic sObject back to a specific object in a VF page

//apex Class:

public class genericObjectCreation{
    
    public class wrapperClass{
        //using a generic sObject.
        public sObject acc {get;set;}
        public boolean x {get;set;}
        public wrapperClass(sObject a){
            this.acc = a;
            this.x=false;
        }
   }
   
   public list<wrapperClass> wrapperList{get;set;}
   
   public genericObjectCreation(){
       wrapperList = new list<wrapperClass>();
       for(account a : [select name from account]){
            wrapperList.add(new wrapperClass(a));
       }
   }
}

//VF Page:
<apex:page controller="genericObjectCreation">
    <apex:form>
        <apex:pageblock>
            <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!wrapperList}" var="wp">
                <apex:column headerValue="boolean">
                    <apex:inputCheckbox value="{!wp.x}"/>
                </apex:column>    
                <apex:column value="{!wp.acc.name}"/>            
            </apex:pageBlockTable>
        </apex:pageblock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

When I open the VF page I get an error stating:
ERROR: Unknown property 'SObject.name'
Error is in expression '{!wp.acc.name}' in component <apex:page> in page genericexample

 The error makes sense coz I am not casting the generic sObject back to account, the VF page is unable to get the value of .name. Any ideas how to go about it?
