Thanks Eelco, that did the trick. Couple of follow up questions/comments that anyone can field: 1) I understand why you would want a stateless application, however I don't understand why you would ever want your session to be regenerated on each request if during the request you specifically set a session value. It seems like once you set a session value, the session should become bound. Is there a logical reason this isn't the case, or is it just a technological/implementation reason? I'm just trying to understand this better.
2) The location quoted for the live examples (http://wicketstuff.org/wicket13/) is the one I was looking at, however for the specific example "stateless", it is not possible to view the source code and/or page files "live". Not sure how the site is maintained, but perhaps a download link could be added on the examples page to the build that the live examples demonstrate, by default. I've got the files now however, so thanks again! Best regards, Spencer Eelco Hillenius wrote: > >> I have a custom session class that inherits from WebSession.
