Hi, If there is an Ajax component in the page then it should be stateful. AutoCompleteTextField is an Ajax component and it should be enough. But it seems there is some problem ... If you are able to reproduce it with Wicket Quickstart 6.16.0 then please attach the application to a ticket in JIRA !
The solution: call page.setStatelessHint(false) to mark the page as stateful explicitly.
