-----Original Message----- What I need is to render a CommandButton which is part of the above component (a child of the component I suppose) without having to specify
its HtmlCommandButton tag in the JSP. I guess i'd use app.createComponent() method somehow... -----/Original Message----- myComponent.getChildren().add(mySubComponent); to add to the children list myComponent.getRendersChildren() mySubComponent.encodeBegin(), encodeChildren() and encodeEnd() are other methods to look at. Read them up in Javadoc (get Sun-RI for Javadoc). That should give you some ideas to continue. Alexander
