Hi Jason and Sahoo,
Thank you very much for the answers and suggestions. I'll make some
experiments with bundles, fragments and JSF 2.
"It's not completely dynamic, as the fragment attachment requires the host
bundle to be re-resolved, so you have to somehow update (Bundle.update) the
WAB after installing new fragments in the system."
Exactly! For this reason I'm trying to resolve this without bundles
fragments. It's being a big challenge to me. :)
"I will add this to my TODO list to experiment."
I'm anxious to see the result!
Thanks.
Best regards,
Robert
