a stateless page in wicket means that the page does not need to be put into session. it can be reconstructed from scratch. such pages generally do not have stateful components (components that provide user with callbacks such as link and its onclick() or form and its onsubmit()).
so until a stateful page is hit by the user wicket will not create an http session. this is an optimization for sites that want to scale out to massive amounts of users without requiring an http session. now since websession plays an important role in request cycle processing and is itself stored in http session we need to create a new instance on every request until we are able to reuse the instance by putting it into http session. makes sense? -igor On Mon, Oct 13, 2008 at 9:00 PM, Craig Tataryn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, I created a very simple little Wicket application which consisted > of one page and the page relied on session information which was to > persist between requests.
