Using JSF, there is no nice way how to iterate over collection an include a template.

jsfDynamicInclude.xhtml

<ui:composition template="/WEB-INF/templates/layout.xhtml"
				xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
				xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
                xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
				xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core">

	<ui:define name="content">

        <!--    does NOT work   -->
        <!--    JSTL tags are taghandlers and they are executed during view build time, while JSF UI components are executed during view render time    -->
        <!--    http://stackoverflow.com/a/3343681/204950   -->
        <c:forEach var="item" items="#{items}">
            <h:panelGroup rendered="#{item.show}">
                <ui:include src="${item.template}" />
            </h:panelGroup>
        </c:forEach>

        <!--    does NOT work   -->
        <!--    <ui:include> runs during view build time (restore view phase) not during view render time (render response phase)   -->
        <!--    http://stackoverflow.com/a/13992285/204950  -->
        <ui:repeat value="#{items}" var="item">
            <h:panelGroup rendered="#{item.show}">
                <ui:include src="${item.template}" />
            </h:panelGroup>
        </ui:repeat>

        <!--    works, but duplicity hell    -->
        <h:panelGroup rendered="#{items[0].show}">
            <ui:include src="#{items[0].template}" />
        </h:panelGroup>

        <h:panelGroup rendered="#{items[1].show}">
            <ui:include src="#{items[1].template}" />
        </h:panelGroup>

        <h:panelGroup rendered="#{items[2].show}">
            <ui:include src="#{items[2].template}" />
        </h:panelGroup>

</ui:composition>
