Dynamicly loading custom control components

I'm working on a xpage application which needs to load custom controls dynamically in a repeater. I've tried using the Include page option and adding the datacontext to pass values to the custom controls. This approach works as long as I define the pagename statically (aka "page.xsp").

When I start to read content from the var from the repeater I get the error that currentEntry , which is the name of my var, could not be references. I think this has something to do with the fact that the include page car only be generated on pageload (because of the jsf tree.. ? ).

I then started to use the dynamic content Panel from the extension library. This approach doesn't work as well when I set the default facet name dynamically. I'm wondering if there is a way to generate a page out of dynamicly loaded custom controls in a repeater?

I didn't try it with a repeat control but maybe this helps you

Re: Dynamicly loading custom control components

Thanks for the tip. Yesterday after many hours of trying I noticed this class being mentioned in the extlib doc.. Let's see what I can do with this in another part of the project. Inside a repeat control this won't help me since I dont want to traverse the list twice , once for finding out which controls I should load and second for the values etc...
