Not sure I understand. Are you referring to the binding of a component's attribute to a backing bean? Or the binding of the component itself to a backing bean?

However, it's also possible to configure it by using a binding attribute -- you bind the attribute to a backing bean, and then, depending on whether you use set or get, you can either modify the preconstructed component, or create your own version of the component yourself. Sorry I didn't point this out earlier as this might be what you wanted.
