public class MetaIncludeComponent
extends AWIncludeComponent

MetaIncludeComponent is (along with MetaContext) the key element for binding MetaUI into AribaWeb user interfaces. MetaIncludeComponent dynamically switches in an AWComponent (or other AWElement) based on the current MetaContext's 'component' property and sets its bindings from the 'bindings' property. This alone enables almost any existing AW widget to be specified for use for a particular field or layout using rules -- without any additional glue code or "adaptor components". MetaIncludeComponent support additional, more sophisticated, component bindings: wrapping the main component using 'wrapperComponent' and 'wrapperBindings', binding component content using the bindings 'awcontent' and 'awcontentElement', and event binding named Content templates using an 'awcontentLayouts' map binding.
