How to create dynamic forms

Question

Dear All,
How is it possible to create a dynamic form controls in ADF?
Well this is how my use case goes:
A web service returns a schema that display the list of questions that user needs to supply.
<questions>
     <question>
          <type>text<type>
          <data>What is your Name</data>
     </question>
     <question>
          <type>booleanOneChoice<type>
          <data>Gender</data>
          <list>
               <value>M</value>
               <value>F</value>
          </list>
     </question>
     <question>
          <type>choice<type>
          <data>Salary Range</data>
          <list>
               <value>Less than 1000</value>
               <value>Less than 10000</value>
               <value>Greater than 10000</value>
          </list>
     </question>
</questions>When this is rendered, I am should be able to see
this sample pages in a form layout style.
<af:inputText label="Label 1" id="it1"/>
<af:selectOneRadio label="Label 1" id="sor1">
</af:selectOneRadio>
<af:selectOneChoice label="Label 1" id="soc1">
</af:selectOneChoice>Sorry the question above is very trivial but I just wanted to simplify things?
Has anyone done this use case before?

Hi,
I tried that code actually but you need some sort of an event before the components are shown.
Say an event like when a button is click then you do some PPR.
But my use case is like this, I need to create the component list from my managed bean
before the page is shown to the user.
Here's what I tried.
I created a binding on my managed bean. Then I created a hidden output text
and then I bind the value to a method of my managed bean.
The purpose of the output text is so that I could call my managed bean method.
<af:panelFormLayout id="pfl1"
    binding="#{pageFlowScope.myBean.dynamicForm}">
</af:panelFormLayout>
<af:outputText id="ot2" visible="false"
    value="#{pageFlowScope.myBean.generateRandomForm}"/>     My managed bean method is the one that populates the form
public class MyBean{
      private RichPanelFormLayout dynaForm;
     public String generateRandomForm(){
          RichInputText text1 = new RichInputText();
          text1.setLabel("What is your name");
          dynaForm.getChildren().add(text1);
          AdfFacesContext ctx = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        ctx.addPartialTarget(this.getDynaForm());
          return null;
}But, I notice that nothing is happening.
What could be wrong in my approach?
Thanks
