There is a DEBUG level logger in wicket.protocol.http.HttpSessionStore that tries to serialize any attribute that is set. The development version - soon 1.2.1 - has a fix so that it doesn't depend on the log level, but instead on an application setting:
if (Application.get().getDebugSettings().getSerializeSessionAttributes()) { String valueTypeName = (value != null ? value.getClass().getName() : "null"); try { final ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); new ObjectOutputStream(out).writeObject(value); log.debug("Stored attribute " + name + "{ " + valueTypeName + "} with size: " + Bytes.bytes(out.size())); } catch (Exception e) { throw new WicketRuntimeException( "Internal error cloning object. Make sure all dependent objects implement Serializable. Class: " + valueTypeName, e); } } The reason we deliver that functionality is to help you ensure you application can function properly in a cluster, using session replication. There are many strategies however, including a different approach than normal serializing, but serializing is the default, and is something you should use when you use a backing httpsession (Wicket's default) anyway. Anything that may end up in the session store, components (and their state), models, etc, should be serializable. If you want to pursue a different strategy, implement an ISessionStore that does this.
