Get a specific Wicket Component within a Page

Question

What's the way to find a specific (known wicket id) Wicket Component within a Page regarding less effort performance?

best = less effort performance, find = get, and specific = known wicket id — cobeete, Mar 20 '13 at 22:00
If you know the whole path to the component then for sure use the `get()` method from my answer. Otherwise you have to go with `visitChildren()` — Robert Niestroj, Mar 20 '13 at 22:11

Your options are:

The get() method of the component which searches for a component at a specific path.
An iterator() on the MarkupContainer which has all his children.
Use the visitChildren() that has all children and grandchildren of a MarkupContainer. visitChildren() returns ComponentHierachyIterator which in turn has a method which has a method filterById() that returns another ComponentHierachyIterator with the filtered component(s).
