Okay
I've decided to let the renderer do the work of rendering parent and
children. Moving on from that I'm having trouble understanding where I
want to add child components. Doing this in the renderer seems wrong
as I want to have different validators associated with components
depending on a which country the component is being created for..
I want to do something like
if("EN".equals(mycomponent.getCountry()) {
//add UIInputs according to this country.
}
I'm just unsure which method in UIComponent I want to do this in.
