Strange, my reply on friday didn't make it to the mailing-list, so here once 
again:

Thanks to Thorsten Schöning & subes for their feedback, even though none of the 
suggestions worked for my case. But it
helped somehow to think about it from a different perspective. I was thinking 
way too complicated. (My solution is at
the end fo the mail).

@Thorsten:
The user is not the only criteria deciding the visibility. We have several 
links and a lot of them have additional
criteria depending on the state of the application. I am also aware of the 
discussion setVisible vs. isVisible. But on
our project we decided to use isVisible as long as there is no significant 
performance penalty.
Beside that after fixing the problem with the links, I could reproduce the 
problematic behaviour with other pages which
relied on the user-object.

@subes:
I tried also to call invalidate() in my signOut()-method which resulted in a 
stackoverflow since invalidate() calls
itself signout() which resulted in an endless loop.
And replaceSession() was also not helpful since Wicket tried to load the last 
page from the page store and render the
components which needed the user-object which was not there anymore.

How I fixed it:

In MySession I just check if the user is null and throw an PageExpiredException 
if it is.

   public User getUser() {
        if (user == null) {
            throw new PageExpiredException("No user available. Page seems to be 
expired.");
        }
        return user;
    }

This way I'm always getting to the log-in page if the user-object does not 
exists. My initial thought was, to empty the
page store so that Wicket tries to create a new instance of the page and the 
AuthorizeInstantiation annotation would
have redirected to the login-page. Do not ask me why I was thinking so 
complicated in the beginning.

Have a nice weekend.
