Wicket children panels refresh

I'm just looking for extra pair of eyes to spot why children panels do not show up/change visibility on radio button selection/change that does call for their refresh

public class OptionsPanel extends Panel {
    private AutoCompleteSearchField departureField;
    private HiddenField departureCodeField;
    private CompoundPropertyModel model;
    private RadioGroup flightChoices;
    private RadioGroup dateChoices;
    private final TripSearchModel tripSearchModel;
    private WebMarkupContainer optionsContainer;
    private FlexibleDates flexibleDates;
    private FixedDates fixedDates;
    private PassengersAndClass passengersAndClass;
    private static List FIX_CONTAINER_VISIBLE = Lists.newArrayList(true, false, true);
    private static List FLEX_CONTAINER_VISIBLE = Lists.newArrayList(false, true, true);
    private static List HIDE_CONTAINERS = Lists.newArrayList(false, false, false);

    public OptionsPanel(String id, CompoundPropertyModel model) {
        super(id);
        this.model = model;
        this.tripSearchModel = (TripSearchModel) model.getObject();

        add(departureLabel());
        add(departureField());
        add(departureCodeField());

        add(flightType());
        add(travellingWhen());
        add(dateType());

        add(optionsContainer(HIDE_CONTAINERS));
    }

    private Component departureLabel() {
        return new WebMarkupContainer("departureLabel").setOutputMarkupId(true);
    }

    private AutoCompleteSearchField departureField() {
        departureField = new AutoCompleteSearchField("departureField", "From", "flightFromField", null, true, model.bind("departure"));
        departureField.setOutputMarkupId(true);
        departureField.add(new CityValidator(this, departureCodeField));
        return departureField;
    }

        departureCodeField = new HiddenField("departureCodeField", model.bind("departureCode"));

I think one potential issue you may have is that you listen for ajax-onchange events and you attempt to make changes to panels depending on the model supposedly having changed. In my experience with radio-type form components, you may need to use AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior (instead of AjaxEventBehavior) in order to capture changes to a model of such form-components. Hope this helps!

Edit: Instead of listing caveats (you need to use another type of behavior for some form components), I'll just add a link to the documentation: Javadoc for AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior

At the end of the day I find out that there was another Easter egg hidden for me.

radio.add(new AjaxEventBehavior("onchange") {
                    @Override
                    protected void onEvent(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
                        tripSearchModel.setDateType(radio.getModelObject().toString());
                        refreshPanel(target);
                    }

I was changing same date parameter on event of two different radio groups, which rendered form useless. That was one change, the second change was moving from WebMarkupContainer to EnclosureContainer that was suggested to use on Wicket mailing list for components changing their visibility status. Nevertheless I will give it a try with AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior thank you @Martin Peters
