Custom Tag output not being rendered in JSF

Question

Hello,
I have the following for loop in a custom tag that I developed;
out.println("<ul>");
for (int i = 0; i < noOfDays; i++)
//out.println("<li><h:commandLink value=\"" +DateHelper.addDays(dtToday, i)+ "\" action=\"#{BookingBean.showAvailability}\"/></li>");
out.println("<li><a href=\"" +DateHelper.addDays(dtToday, i)+ "\">" DateHelper.addDays(dtToday, i) "</a></li>");
out.println("</ul>");
The issue I have is that the second line prints out fine whereas the first one (when uncommented) prints out the bullet points associated with a list but does not render the h:commandLink.
Any thoughts would be great.
Cheers,
Rich

Hi,
You can not embade a JSF tag in your code as you did, try adding component as children to your custum tag
see this code as exemple : [HTMLDataTable.java|http://www.docjar.com/html/api/org/apache/myfaces/component/html/ext/HtmlDataTable.java.html]
