This is not Jon's argument, I do not believe, but an argument that I
think is valid.  Let us say that your images served up by your servlet
are generated charts, such as the relative wages of employees.  You
wouldn't want just anyone to be able to access this data unless they had
authenticated successfully.  In order to determine whether they have
authenticated, you would need to check the wicket session.
