Hi,

I am new new to Tapestry, but an experienced Java architect and
J2EE developer. Browsing the Tapestry documentation and having 
played around with my own first sample application, I cannot 
find a way to dynamically create components and component 
hierarchies.

AFAIK the component hierarchies are nailed down statically in 
the specification files. That is, each page and component knows 
from the start which child component it contains.

What about a complex hierarchy that is not yet know at 
application start and changes while the program runs? As an 
example, consider a deeply-nested directory tree. Each node in 
the tree (directory, file, link etc.) should be visualized by a 
suitable component. While the application runs, files are added 
to the tree and others are deleted. For some files their 
properties change. All this should be reflected by the component 
that displays the file tree. Each time it is redrawn it must 
build up its immediate child components. And the child 
components displaying directories must rebuild their own 
children.

I don't see how this could be done with Tapestry. I'd be glad if 
I am wrong and someone could show me the light.

Best regards
