JSF 2.0 custom composite controls & nesting

Question

Greetings, I'm trying to implement my custom TAB control. I'd like it to be based on new composite components feature of JSF 2.0:

<i:tabControl width="480" height="320" value="#{backingBean.someIterable}" var="tab" >
    <i:tabItem href="#{tab.href}" caption="#{tab.caption}"/>
<i:tabControl/>

The problem is I don't know how to implement repeater for Composite component. How to get access to nested element?

I don't think you can really iterate over the child components. Check <composite:insertChildren/>, <composite:renderFacet .../> and <composite:insertFacet .../> tags for child/facet processing.
