I think we had approximately similar requirements. Can you point me at the code you did?

We're creating a HtmlPanelGrid then for each form element (textbox, textarea etc) we want to render we create a UIDecorate UIDecorate component = (UIDecorate) getApplication().createComponent(UIDecorate.COMPONENT_TYPE); | component.setId(getUniqueId()); then add all the components relevant to that element as children of the UIDecorate | decorator.getChildren().add(getUnescapedOutputText("<br/>")); | decorator.getChildren().add(getTextAreaInputWidget()); | etc Then add the decorator back into the grid panelGrid.getChildren().add(decorator); Finally we outject the panelGrid and display it in a facelets page. <h:panelGrid binding="#{dynamicPanelGridTest}" /> Hope this helps Cheers View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4044851#...
