Is it possible to generate facelets code from UiComponent Object in JSFManagedBean

Question

I want to generate facelets code from UIComponent, Eg:

org.primefaces.component.commandbutton.CommandButton;

CommandButton btn=new CommandButton();
btn.setValue("Click");

for this code, the following tag has to be generated

<p:commandButton value="Click" />  

what i need is to generate facelet code corresponding to UIComponent object in the bean and code has to be stored and used later.

is it possible??

Answer 1

Take a look at these two articles [1] and [2]. You have to locate the parent component to which you want to attach your new components, create the components and add them as children. Here [3] is an example on how to locate components by id.

Answer 2

Used Binding

<p:commandButton value="Click" binding="#{beanName.btn}" />
