apex:dynamicComponent

This tag acts as a placeholder for your dynamic Apex components. It has one required parameter—componentValue—which accepts the name of an Apex method that returns a dynamic component.

The following Visualforce components do not have dynamic Apex representations:

<apex:attribute>
<apex:component>
<apex:componentBody>
<apex:composition>
<apex:define>
<apex:dynamicComponent>
<apex:include>
<apex:insert>
<apex:param>
<apex:variable>

Example

<apex:page controller="SimpleDynamicController">
    <apex:dynamicComponent componentValue="{!dynamicDetail}" />
</apex:page>

/* Controller */
public class SimpleDynamicController {

    public Component.Apex.Detail getDynamicDetail() {
        Component.Apex.Detail detail = new Component.Apex.Detail();
        detail.expressions.subject = '{!acct.OwnerId}';
        detail.relatedList = false;
        detail.title = false;
        return detail;
    }

    // Just return the first Account, for example purposes only
    public Account acct {
        get { return [SELECT Id, Name, OwnerId FROM Account LIMIT 1]; }
    }
}
