title: How do I bind a composite component in JSF?
body: <p>I have a composite component which is composed of other composite components. Now I would like to render only some of the child components within the parent component. From the Java EE tutorial I take it that I should probably bind my child components to some property of the backing bean for my parent component so that I can access their <code>render</code> attribute.</p>
  
  <p>However, the NetBeans IDE does not know about a <code>binding</code> attribute for my composite components. So how am I supposed to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Use case: The parent component is some wizard which should display only one of the child components at a time. Think of it as a poor man's tabbed view. I know there are libraries which provide ready-made components for this, but I do not want to add another dependency.</p>
