Matthias, It is similar and I will add that I own a copy of the book and have read it cover to cover. It’s certainly, not an original idea. It's also similar to something built on struts 1.x (http://www.sos.state.co.us/dtd/struts-extension.dtd).
Because the xml files are digested on startup, a custom ViewHandler is not needed. The subview component just acts as a complex component. It builds the component tree from the graph of beans.
