One year ago I've posted a solution to load your template from a database, or generate it dynamically in Tapestry 3. I think that it wouldn't be too different in T4.

This seems to me a departure from the Tapestry objective, as it is a requirment for a form processing engine. So maybe Tapestry is a bad fit in this case? Tools like Mandoforms do this kind of thing perhpas better, for a price! It might be useful to develop some Tap components to dynamically rende
