There are many ways to tackle that, and my approach for e.g. saving
the state of a tree so that it gets put back in the right position
again when a user revisits is to either store in a cookie or in a
database. You could store it in a session as well though.

That depends on the container and settings and on who manages the
session in the first place. Also note that even though using
HttpSession as a backing for the Wicket WebSession object is the
default, it can be backed by everything you want and you can write
Wicket applications without ever touching an actual HttpSession.
