Github user bitstorm commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/wicket/pull/342 @svenmeier i agree with the overall goal of accessing to render components only. There is however a huge drawback with this solution as now onConfigure is executed before form validation or event handling. Components like FeddbackPanel can not work properly anymore. To overcome this limit with stateless pages we can consider to use a brand new page instance for rendering phase. To achieve this result we can for example detach PageComponentProvider after we have invoked the required listener. I will commit this improvement as soon as possible.
