Dashboard with Facelets

I have a requirement to create a "dashboard" style home page in my web application. The dashboard will have different sized components laid out in a grid. What's the best way to implement this in Facelets? Are the concepts of templating and composition applicable here? Or should I try to use something like YUI or Blueprint CSS grids?

Thanks.

Hi Naresh
 
Facelets is simply the viewhandler and it doesn't have any specific support for dashbord like widgets. For that you need to look at a compnent library perhaps RichFaces, YUI4JSF etc. will do the trick?
 
So in short you'd be using Facelets along with one or more component libraries.
 
Good luck,
