Life cycle

Describe the life cycle of Wicket apps, sessions and requests.

Custom Sessions

The wicket way of storing objects in your session is by extending the wicket session. For example if you want to store some kind of user object in your session, you would create a getter and setter for it in
your custom wicket session:

Add the property to your custom Session object.

public class MySession extends WebSession {
   public MySession(WebApplication application) {
      super(application);
   }
   private String myAttribute;
   // ... getters and setters
}

and override either of the following methods on your Application class:

protected ISessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
    return this.sessionFactory;
}
public Session newSession() {
    return new MySession(WebApplication.this);
