Hi Ryan, I guess I wasn't clear about the span solution.
What I mean is for the velocity template to build a span like this: <span id="component-config" style="display:none">comp-111,comp-112,comp-113</span> And then in the gwt component startup method, read the component- config span, split on commas, and attach components to each id found there (if it exists). Does that make a bit more sense?
