T5 I need to be able to dynamically render components
All, below is a sample of what I'd like to be able to do, but I can't seem
to figure out a way to make it work
<t:loop source="widgets" value="widget">
<div t:type="prop:viewElementType"/>
</t:loop>
Is there a way to do this or a binding that would do this? Basically I need
a way to dynamically instantiate components at runtime.
-thx, Jon

Howard you read my mind, ideally dynamic components would be great, but I
ended up just defining several blocks and then delegating which one to show,
small price to pay for the flat out RAD of T5.

Tapestry pages are static in structure: you don't just create components on
the fly. This is necessary for Tapestry's view on scalability and
clustering.
What you can do is define th components you want and select which one
renders at any give time. This is how the Grid and BeanEditForm components
work, for example.
