Sorry, I will try to be a bit less laconic this time :). You should be creating a blank Employee to set as the model object. It could be created from scratch upon each incoming request using a detachable model (for example, if Employee is not Serializable), or just be a simple Serializable field of your page or form class with a value other than null, of course. In the second case you can instantiate the Employee just once, during page creation, and it will be stored into the wicket session.
