Is is a container such as a gridPanel that you need? If so, you could probably subclass the gridpanel and use a backing bean to add other components on demand. We do this for our tab menus.

Hello, I am in a situation where i need to write such a tab: <custom:parameter value="parameterBean"/> The jsf component is to be created using parameterBean.createComponent (....). My first thought was to create an empty Component whose sole role was to ass the result of parameterBean.createComponent() as it's only child. However, i begin to think it might be better of the tag itself would call createComponent() on my bean, this would prevent creation of useless intermediate Components. But i am not sure how to do this, according to my knowledged, i need to extend UIComponentTag and this requires to return a componentType, which in my case is a non sense as the component is to be generated by createComponent(....) How can i do this. Am i forced to create a custom component that would only serve as an container to another correctly fitted component? I hope i was clear in my request :) Thanks for consideration, David Delbecq
