I have seen options 2 and 3 as you have suggested.From what I understand they are more on the lines of Jsp include which would mean that the components would recreated and added to the component tree in the render response stage of the forwarded page.The reason why i was trying backing beans to bind my data table was that i was hoping to add the already generated datatable component and its children to the component tree in the render response stage of the target page without having to recreate them.
As you have rightly pointed out, the data table is getting added w/o the child components getting rendered.
What is the reason for this? Does a component not maintain the list of its children as a part of its state?
Please let mme know your thoughts on this.
Thanks

Interesting. Make sure that your backing bean is more than request-scoped.
However, while this will preserve the h:dataTable component, it will
not carry over the children elements of your h:dataTable (facets,
columns, and children of those elements).
Take a look at this page, particularly items 2 and 3.
