Output arbitrary tag element in Facelets?

I want to output a tag with dynamic attributes like:

<foo attr1="val1"
     attr2="val1"
     attr3="val1">
    Contents
</foo>

Where attribute names is unknown in compile time.

It's obviously c:forEach or ui:repeat doesn't work here:

<foo <c:forEach ... /> >

So, is there something like this?

<x:element name='foo'>
    <forEach>
        <x:attribute name='#{"attr" + index}'>
            #{"val" + index}
        </x:attribute>
    </forEach>
</x:element>

Thanks.

Solution

  • You can do it with f:attribute (xmlns:f=http://java.sun.com/jsf/core), which would associates an attribute with the nearest parent UIComponent.
