I agree it's a bit tricky to make DropDownChoice display a label
different from the ID.
You have to use the constructor with the IChoiceRenderer as last
argument:
DropDownChoice(java.lang.String id, IModel model, IModel choices,
IChoiceRenderer renderer)
Then you must implement a new IChoiceRenderer, passing your map to
the constructor. Feel free to contribute it to Wicket when you're
done, it will be useful for most of us:
Currently the only IChoiceRenderer implementation is
ChoiceRenderer, but the ID (value submitted) is the index in the
choices list, not an arbitrary String value.
