the new feature would not be any more limiting than the same feature in
jsf. might not be too fun to implement though...

it definitely can get harder. but it depends on the page. you can

no, actually i cant. rebuilding a page from constructor arguments just
means that you lose all the interaction that happened on the page.
this is where wicket shines - the user interacts with components that
are isolated from the page and keep their own state. i went through a
few pages i recently wrote to see how feasible this would be, and it
was possible in a few situations, but in most it would not be. even
something as simple as a dataview: the dataprovider pulls out page 4
which consists of 10 detachable models. in order to reconstruct that
you would have to keep the ids of the 10 objects the models represent
and store them somewhere, then you would need a way to initialize the
data provider to load those particular 10 objects when the dataview
requests page 4 after being reconstructed ( you need to fake it
because page 4 at a later time does not insure the same 10 objects).
it seems too much trouble to go through personally.
i personally would probably not use this feature even on a high volume
site, perhaps unless it truly had to be clustered. but it seems
not too
hard to provide and it gives users options and critics (who may or may
not be well informed) less to find lacking.
but then you have the situation where those same critics are now
saying that this newly added feature solves nothing because its too
limiting. and look at all the trouble we have to go through to get it
working, i dont think converting all links to posts is trivial.
