How about this? Loose the IModel interface and make Model your top object in the model hierarchy. That way you don't have to concern yourself with finding a suitable name.

SimpleModel? ObjectModel? SerializableObjectModel? cause it could no longer be a Model and it definitely ain't a DefaultModel. one nice thing, btw, about a name like SerializableObjectModel (which i'm kindof liking right now...) over Model is that it would draw attention /away/ from the class as some kind of default (which is a horrible idea to suggest to users (because it's a very inefficient way to create models) and something i don't like about the current name). if you think about it, (SerializableObject)Model really does accurately describe this class. it's a model that wraps a serializable object. i think it's okay if the name is a little obscure. we want people thinking about CompoundPropertyModel in the end, anyway. 2. i don't have much bandwidth for wicket right now and i don't want to waste the time i do have working on something as non-mission-critical as this. so someone else has to do it all. and if we do do this, the work done by someone else should include changing all javadoc, xdoc, text files and the wiki. it's going to be a small project to do this right and not leave dangling references all over the project to classes that no longer exist. jon Martijn Dashorst wrote: > All, > > I would like to stress that I just choose IModel/Model as an example. > We don't need to decide the naming for IModel/Model here, but the > point is: Should we continue to use, in a consistent manner(!), the > IFoo naming pattern, or do we use the same naming conventions as the > (as Jon put it recently) best framework probably created: the Java > collections package. > > Furthermore, we should be *really* sure we don't want to perform the > renames at a later time.
