I disagree with this answer. The fact that request handling stuff is not a public api, is A GOOD REASON because it should be documented better, not viceversa.
And I really don't understand in which way this could prevent you to change - eventually - in future wicket versions. I not a newbie user and I'm really a Wicket enthusiastic user and pleased to be involved in its great community, but I have to admit that some topics are still obscure. The request flow handling is one of the most important topic to know in a web application framework, being so I think it would be very interesting to have only a brief description, for example a sequence diagram showing the components interaction starting from the WicketFilter (and/or the WicketServlet) involved in a web request handling. Hiding this stuff or, even worse, asking the users to debug the framework to understand what it should important to know I don't think is a good approach because it is precisely this that leads to wrong assumptions, that could break in future.
