Matthias:
I just put a new page on the wiki showing how I approached the problem.
Any chance you could take a look at what I posted. There are a couple of
things I'm concerned about:
1. Is it OK to discuss libs that are not part of the MyFaces project on
the Wiki? If so I will edit down what I posted.
2. I haven't done much programming like this and the code I posted could
use a once over. The methods do work but they are not pretty.
