its even better not to have a wicket page at all
a simple loginl.html with
<form action="/some/mounted/page" method="post">
<input name="uname"/><input name="pwd"/><input type="submit"/>
</form>
then you just mount a page that processes the submitted values and throws a
restartresponseexception to some other page.
now as users hammer your login page and stare at it for hours it is only
apache that suffers.
taking it to the next level baby!

Invalidate 'unbinds' the session from the backing session store. In
practice, for default configurations, this means that the HttpSession
object that is maintained for the client is invalidated (see
HttpSession#invalidate) after the request is done, so that a client
starts with a clean slate.
Off topic, I think it's good practice to make your login page a
stateless page (using a stateless form), so that users can have that
page in front of them for hours and then sign in without even being
bothered with a session expiry exception. In fact, it's probably good
practice to have the whole part of the site where you don't require
users to log in implemented as stateless and/ or bookmarkable pages.
My 2c.
