Just a thought coming from Cocoon-land. Cocoon has the concept of continuations in server-side java script, and this can be used to maintain state. Although the programming model is different, the need is the same - when you connect to the backend server, to identify yourself in some way so that you can be reconnected with your particular state. The session itself is too general - you need something particular to your form/etc. Cocoon handles this with a continuation ID. Using Cocoon's sitemap, you can configure it to get that ID either from within the URL, or from a request parameter (or anywhere else you might care to think of). I always tended to put the continuation ID into a hidden field on the page, as I wanted to maintain pretty URLs (even if those URLs weren't 'RESTful' - i.e if you bookmark it you won't go back to that particular state). Is it possible in Wicket to use a hidden field to pass that state information rather than tacking it onto the URL?
