Hi, I don't see how you initialize blogDAO. If you don't use wicket-ioc module then you will need to lookup the DAO from the application whenever you need it:
public void onSubmit() { BlogDAO blogDao = MyApplication.get().getBlogDAO(); blogDao.save(blog); } This way you wont keep reference to it in the page/component and it wont be serialized. If you use wicket-guice module then you can do: @Inject private BlogDAO blogDao; and use it anywhere. Wicket will use Guice to lookup the bean at component creation but the bean will be wrapped in a serializable proxy. That is a lightweight proxy will be (de)serialized with the page. This is the recommended way. wicket-string works the same way. wicket-cdi leaves the proxy creation to the CDI implementation.
