Create ADF Table at runtime

Question

Hi,
I am trying to create ADF table at run time. Initially I tried to include all the tables at design time. Then I turned the setVisible property to false. Then , based on the condition, I turned it to true at runTime, so that to give the effect of the table getting created at run time.
But now, I would like to know , is there any option to extract the table component from the ViewObject or from the iterator, at run time.
say,
I have my ViewObject like this.
DCIteratorBinding dcIter=(DCIteratorBinding)bindings.getControlBinding("Table1View1Iterator");
ViewObject vo=dcIter.getViewObject();
Now, I have a panel, 'pb1'. I am able to add input boxes at run time. Now I want to add the table that corresponds to the above View also at run time.
Could someone pls give me the suggestion..
Thanks,

well, in that case you can create table dynamically from managed bean. I am giving you a sample code which add row dynamically to a table on click of "Add" button.
jspx code:
<af:document id="d1" title="XXXX">
      <af:form id="f1">
        <af:commandButton text="Add" id="cb1" action="#{MyBean.add}"/>
        <af:table varStatus="rowStat" summary="table"
                  value="#{MyBean.collectionModel}"
                  rows="#{MyBean.collectionModel.rowCount}"
                  rowSelection="none" contentDelivery="immediate" var="row"
                  rendered="true" id="t1">
          <af:forEach items="#{MyBean.columnNames}"
                      var="name">
            <af:column sortable="true" sortProperty="#{name}"
                       rowHeader="unstyled" headerText="#{name}"
                       inlineStyle="width:100px;" id="c1">
              <af:activeOutputText value="#{row[name]}" id="aot1"/>
            </af:column>
          </af:forEach>
        </af:table>
      </af:form>
    </af:document>managed bean:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.CollectionModel;
import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.SortableModel;
public class MyBean {
    private SortableModel model;
    private List<String> columnNames;
    public MyBean() {
        System.out.println("Cntl in MyBean constructor :::");
        columnNames = new ArrayList<String>();
        columnNames.add("Col-1");
        columnNames.add("Col-2");
//        generateColumnModel();
    public void generateColumnModel() {
        this.model = new SortableModel(createRows(columnNames));
    private static List<Map> createRows(List<String> columnNames) {
        int i = 0;
        List<Map> mapListforRows = new ArrayList<Map>();
        //for (String name : columnNames) {
            Map newRow = new HashMap();
            mapListforRows.add(newRow);
            for (String col : columnNames) {
                newRow.put(col, "data");
        return mapListforRows;
    public String add() {
        System.out.println("Cntl in add method :::");
//        columnNames = new ArrayList<String>();
//        columnNames.add("Col-1");
//        columnNames.add("Col-2");
        generateColumnModel();
        return null;
    public CollectionModel getCollectionModel() {
        return model;
    public void setColumnNames(List<String> columnNames) {
        this.columnNames = columnNames;
    public List<String> getColumnNames() {
        return columnNames;
}I hope this will help you to solve your use case
