Dynamic Generation of pages in RichFaces/JSF

[roopa1]

Can richfaces / jsf technology be idle for a requirement which requires runtime  generations of controls,labels,fields,bindings depending on business rules & user selections.

e.g. runtime deciding on which panels which controls should be rendered.

We use a dynamic API layer that we created and it sits on top of Richfaces.  I think it fits the description of what you are asking.  the source is there if you want it.

Hi Mathew,

Thanks for same. Needs some more inputs , requirements are that an external system would provide details as in which screens with what controls should be rendered. Also depending on the user selection again the input from external system(already available ) would decide which sections or sub-sections needs to be displayed.

This requirment is for all the screens in application not a part of it. Is purefaces being used in such scenarios & what has been the experience.

If I understand your requirement, then it would work for what you are trying to do.  you can look at this article to find out more, and the demos on the website in my prior reply are completely done in purefaces.  There is also a presentation on the website (read the notes section of each slide) that describes how it works.
