Igor posted a comment to this bug saying that overriding isVisible() is evil https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-3171 I was surprised by this and am curious to hear more. D/

wicket:enclosure quick start
I am trying to create a quick start to recreate my issue and I have been unsuccessful. I'm guess it has something to do with my environment.

Something that I've encounter that I found frustrating that might be worth considering in the new design: Construct a page... Realize you need to forward to another page, Call setResponsePage(...) If the constructor short circuits when it realizes that the request is getting forwarded, Wicket will blow up if you haven't added all the components because it wants to finish building everything before the response is Fowarded.
