Thank you for this clarification. So it appears that, in an unclusterd context, the problem is not with storing references *in sessions*, but simply with storing references. I am using hibernate objects and I need to keep to copies of the data, so I am creating a value object plus I keep the original hibernate object. Perhaps I would better create 2 value objects and throw away the hibernate object (in case this object is much bigger than a simple value object??). I must check for this. (But this is not Wicket related ;-).
