The colliding Application subclass problem is the reason I made
AuthDataApplication, which copies the good stuff from
AuthenticatedWebApplication. It's used in this example:
http://databinder.net/recipe-book.html

But yes it's a problem. I was waiting for some guidance from
wicket-contrib (since that's where the idea of subclassing
WebApplication came to me from) but as it keeps coming up I'll see what
I can do to make it easier to use Databinder with an independent
Application class.
