This is a somewhat old request from Lincoln Baxter that I don't think ever made it to the list. After reviewing the message, I too feel it is worth discussing for JSF 2.1.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>

I feel there is value in the ability to instantiate an EzComp object in Java so that a component tree can be built in a backing bean (or other Class). JSF must be doing this in the background through Facelets, so providing this ability in Java should not be too difficult.<br>
<br>
Referencing an object by its namespace should be sufficient:<br>
<br>
<tt>UIComponent comp = </tt><tt><font color="#1a1a1a">Application.createComponent(FacesContext,</font></tt><tt> "<a href="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/mynamespace:component" target="_blank">http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/mynamespace:component</a>"</tt><tt><font color="#1a1a1a">)</font></tt><tt>.</tt><br>
<br>
Attributes would be assigned via the normal method:<br>
<br>
comp.getAttributes().put("rendered", false);<br>
<br>
This would greatly extend the reach of EzComp objects.<br>
<br>
