Kent Tong commented on WICKET-1221:
-----------------------------------
I think "required" means that a value must be provided. For a check box, if it
is checked, it has a value of true. if it is unchecked, it has a value of
false. Treating "required" as "having a value of true" doesn't sound correct to
me.
If you consider the error message that should be used, for the case of
forcing the user to check the box, it should say "you must check xxx", which
is quite different from the error message for "required": "you must provide
xxx".
For the former use case, I think an IsChecked validator should be used, which
can provide a much better default error message.
