JSF Component Tree

[sriharsha Udupi]

Hi all,

I am writing an application which needs to set one Custom Component as a Parent tag( or Parent component) for all other components in a page. But i don't want to specify / add Custom Component in a web page.
Instead I am trying to add this component at createView method of Custom ViewHandler.

Here are the problems I am facing.
- I am unable to get the Custom Component which I have added in createView of ViewHandler class as the first component in the web page. Instead it is getting rendered at last (As a last tag/component).

-How exactly JSF constructs ViewTree?

-How exactly it adds first tag (tag which appears after <f:view/>) as first children to the Component tree.

Expecting your suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
SriHarsha.
