Create input field dynamically

Question

Hi.
I need to create always a new input field to page when pushing button. How this can be done? How can I define that a new field is placed under another?
Something like this?
javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot root = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot();
          UIComponent form = root.findComponent("form1");
          HtmlInputText input2 = new HtmlInputText();
          input2.setSize(50);
          form.getChildren().add(input2);

javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot root = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot();
UIComponent form = root.findComponent("form1");
HtmlInputText input2 = new HtmlInputText();
input2.setSize(50);
form.getChildren().add(input2);
I did this in doActionMethod but nothing happened. Is that panelGrid only for layout and it has nothing to do component visibility? Could you pass me an example?
I also find this kind of example:
Application application =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication();
          outputText = (HtmlOutputText)application.createComponent(HtmlOutputText.COMPONENT_TYPE);
          outputText.setValue("test outputText ");
          form.getChildren().add(outputText);
          try {
               outputText.encodeBegin(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
               outputText.encodeChildren(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
               outputText.encodeEnd(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
