Dynamically create component from namespace and tag name

[Barney Barumba]

Is there any way to create a component in Java based on the namespace and tag name, as entered in a .xhtml page? For example, to create a basic input text component I can do this:

UIComponent comp = application.createComponent("javax.faces.Input");

But that requires me to do the mapping manually, and would not appear to work for composite components ("http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite"), which do not appear to have a registered component type. What I'd like to do is something like this:

UIComponent comp1 = application.createComponent("http://java.sun.com/jsf/html", "inputText");
UIComponent comp2 = application.createComponent("http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/mycomps/", "helloComp");

And have the framework do the work for me.

Cheers,

Barney
