Is there a way to create dynamically elements?

Question

Let say that I want to create a variable set of elements within a component. So I tried to do that way:

Answer 1

<a4j:outputPanel id="out">
    <rich:tabPanel>
        <c:forEach items="list" var="var">
            <rich:tab label="#{var.name}" switchType="client">
                content
            </rich:tab>
        </c:forEach>
    </rich:tabPanel>
</a4j:outputPanel>

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible, but difficult. Here are some notes I have:

Use c:forEach to create tab tags inside tabPanel inside outputPanel. reRender outputPanel on tab removal, add, or name change

We also made use of templating, though I still have an outstanding issue for it: How to force the build phase in a JSF 1.2 page using JSTL?
