Hmmm. Yeah, that's an interesting choice to make. Is it the
responsiblity of models, or components. There is some logic to using
models, but I'm afraid things get really messy quickly then.
Components are the entity which know whether they are stateless or
not, and I think it is components that you would design specifically
for this purpose, not models. And however important models are in the
total scope of developing Wicket applications, they are subject to
components, which may - and often do - decide not to use models or
just partially (like the pageable list which uses a normal member for
the current page number).

I could envision an IEncodableModel interface:
interface IEncodableModel {
PageParameters encodeState();
void decodeState(PageParameters parameters);
}
that would externalize its state into the page parameters, which can
be added to the component listener thing. Sort of a detachable model,
but then storing its state into the request url, instead of the
session.
I'm not sure this would help in any way, but I'll have it process in
my background...
