there is nothing special you need for state management - wicket takes care of it for you.
to keep the state of previous tabs instead of always creating a new panel in your ITab impl, keep the ref to the old one, see PanelCachingTab which does just that.
also instead of using getParent().replace() it might be cleaner to use component.replaceWith()

So, if I use the Panels approach I'd need just one page and the navigation inside a tab would be using the replace method of MarkupContainer right?, and in this case how could I manage state in each tab?
One thing of TabbedPanel implmentation I don't understand is why tabs are added first to a list and then added to the TabbedPanel, also why Tab is not a MarkupContainer since is supossed to contain a panel?
Thanks and Regards,
Jaime.
