Reports themselves are static (around 100 of them), this page should just display a combo with the reports name in a particular report category (chosen previously via a javascript drop-down menu) and then depending on the report chosen, resolve its parameters into dynamically generated controls. When a user clicks the submit button, then I pass all of these populated values to the jasperreport's template for the display.
Why is it not a good idea to create components in java code, could you elaborate? We are not using facelets, just jsp's. Thanks.

And how many are there? What about creating page fragments for each one and including the one picked either with a jsp:include or a facelets ui:include? If you really want to manually create components, the way to go about it is to bind a panelGrour to your page, and then manually set up everything with that binding getter. You also MUST manually specific all required attributes (for example, id) as part of this creation process. However, I'd avoid creating components in java code if you can do so. If it's just a matter of dynamically creating columns, use t:columns. On 9/8/06, Leyzerzon, Simeon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, Mike. I'm creating the components within the backing bean.
