creating JSF components at runtime

[JP Estrada]

I know this is possible... but how is it done?

Any links to tutorials or sample codes would be very helpful.

Yes. It is possible to add components dynamically.
Create a container bean like this one:


public class ComplexBean
{
protected UIComponent component;
public ComplexBean()
{
component = new UIPanel();
}
public UIComponent getComponent()
{
return component;
}
public void setComponent(UIComponent component)
{
this.component = component;
}
}

Use component instance binding in your page, for
instance

<h anelGrid binding="#{ComplexBean.component}"/>

(The bean should be configured as a managed bean).

Now if you add components to your
ComplexBean.getComponent(), they will appear on the
page.
