Declarative Component inside of an Iterator

Question

I am building a custom declarative component, and that's how I am using it from the main page:
<af:iterator var="row" value="#{viewScope.manageMinorCrBB.linesForAddGroup}" id="it1">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="id13" layout="horizontal" halign="left">
<af:commandButton id="cmdAddLine" text="Add" actionListener="#{viewScope.manageMinorCrBB.addLines}" />
<af:commandButton id="cmdRmvLine" text="remove" actionListener="#{viewScope.manageMinorCrBB.removeLines}" />
<!-- THIS TAG DOESN'T WORK !!!!! -->
<af:declarativeComponent id="dynfld1"
viewId="/project/dynamicFieldComponent.jspx"
rows="4" maxColumns="3"
optionalFields="#{row.optionalFields}"
model="#{row.model}"
selectedOptionalField="#{row.selectedOptionalField}"
postButtonTitle="Save"
postListener="viewScope.manageMinorCrBB.saveAndRefreshAction"
required="false" />
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</af:iterator> <!-- Component Tab to show OutOfScoped and Scopped DCCs
Information will be shown based in Drools Logic -->
<!-- THIS TAG WORKS !!!!! -->
<af:declarativeComponent id="dynfld2"
viewId="/project/dynamicFieldComponent.jspx"
rows="8" maxColumns="2"
optionalFields="#{viewScope.manageMinorCrBB.lineFind.optionalFields}"
model="#{viewScope.manageMinorCrBB.lineFind.model}"
selectedOptionalField="#{viewScope.lineFind.selectedOptionalField}"
postButtonTitle="Search"
postListener="viewScope.manageMinorCrBB.searchAction"
required="true"
/>
and that's a fragment of my DCC:
If I call the components individually is working but If I put my component inside of an iterator I can't get the component's attributes by using this method:
RichDynamicDeclarativeComponent _this = (RichDynamicDeclarativeComponent )
getValueObject("#{component}",RichDynamicDeclarativeComponent .class);
What am I doing wrong?, should I use the same "#{component}" expression???
Thank you, I would really appreciate your help!

Hi,
try af:forEach. the af:iterator stamps it children and does not create component instances
