FormComponent.rawInput needs a better name
------------------------------------------
Key: WICKET-757
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-757
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: Wish
Components: wicket
Affects Versions: 1.2.6
Reporter: Willis Boyce
Priority: Minor
It took me a while looking through the code to figure out that the "raw" input
isn't really the raw input. The *real* raw input is what comes from the
getInputAsArray method. rawInput seems to be a kind of holding place for the
form-submitted value that, if present, overrides the value in the model, so
that the form can re-display the user's input even if it failed validation or
conversion and therefore cannot be stored in the model. It's really a
tentative or proposed value.
Also, some more comments about what exactly NO_RAW_VALUE indicates would be
helpful. It seems to indicate that the form-submitted value has been cleared
and that getValue should return the value from the model. If you change the
"raw" input to something else, then maybe this can be called USE_MODEL_VALUE or
something like that instead.
