Wouldn't it make more sense to have a single PostItController that contains a list of PostIt objects?
@Matt: thanks for your suggestions. I actually didn't think of that solution, but while a list seems to be a good solutions in most usecases, I'm dealing with setting up a portal-like environment. Users can select from many different cells, mixing and matching. This means that the different post-its can be spread out over several different fragments of the page. I guess I could have a cell-local variable that identifies the post-it and then all post-its share the same controller, having a list of post-its. This has one major drawback as I see it. I must always plan for having several components, making all my backing beans contain collections. This is not very productive, and forces another layer upon the design. All I want to acheive is a contextual separation of cells, so that several instances of the same cell can coexist, with the same business logic, but with different state. Is the "one common backing bean" pattern the only viable solution? Thanks PS. Thanks ellen for the tips. I appriciate your effort and I'm sure that I'll use your tips in a later stage. DS.
