RE: dynamically included subviews
We actually do this at the moment but the JSPs are getting bloated as this is the core of our reporting/charting framework and there are potentially many reports facets that can be shown (20-30+). I was looking for a more compact solution akin to using Velocity templates which could be dynamicaly inserted into the JSP by the backing bean. Both tiles and Facelets require thay I change the view hander for the entire app (all 120+ JSPs) which is overkill to support just I page. The other alternative is to build the view dynamically by inserting UI components into the comoponent tree but this starts to break down the MVC pattern. -Original Message- From: Le Van [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 4:38 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: dynamically included subviews Julian Ray wrote: Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, what is the correct mechanism t:aliasBean alias=#{pageBean} value=#{Report} f:subview id=reportgui jsp:directive.include file=#{pageBean.reportTemplate} / /f:subview /t:aliasBean The JSP directive obviously cannot interpret the JSF value binding but is there an alternative way to dyncamically include a page without having to use tiles or facelets which seems to be overkill for this. Thanks Why you don't use rendered. f:subview id=reportgui rendered=FlagFromBean /f:subview

First off, I'm not a jsp expert (or even much of a jsp user). However, my understanding is that your jsp tags are going to be executed at compile-time (ie, the first time the application uses the page). That means you cannot use run-time tags like t:aliasBean or EL expressions which are evaluated at each request since the page is already compiled at this point. Perhaps there's a way to do it solely with jsp tags, but that's outside of the scope of my knowledge.
