JSF 1.1 Custom ViewHandler to add Components dynamically

Question

Hi,
I need to add UIComponents dynamically on each JSF view.
Using JSF 1.2, i can write a custom ViewHandler and override createView, like :
    public UIViewRoot createView(FacesContext facesContext, String viewName) {
        UIViewRoot viewRoot = baseViewHandler.createView(facesContext, viewName);
        UIComponent component = facesContext.getApplication().createComponent( HtmlInputText.COMPONENT_TYPE );
        HtmlInputText hidden = ( HtmlInputText ) component;
        hidden.setId("myID");
        hidden.setValue("myValue");
        viewRoot.getChildren().add( component );
        DebugUtil.printTree( viewRoot, System.out );
        return viewRoot;
    }But with JSF 1.1, and deploying the webapp on OC4J 10.1.3.3.0, my dynamic component (the hidden field) is not rendered..
NB : the dynamically added component is not rendered but it is listed by DebugUtil.printTree( )
The printTree output looks like :
08/11/25 19:47:47 id:null
value= null
  id:eventlist
  value= WWFWhy is the ViewHandler's behavior different between JSF 1.1 and 1.2 ?
How can i achieve dynamic component addition (for all pages) with JSF *1.1* ?
Thank you for your answers.

Hi All,
We don't want to use BOM options.
I have also checked "No. of packages'` at header level but my requirement is at item level.So we are also exploring the option of  APPEND  standard table and add this field.
Kindly let me know  if we can do it without Appending standard table.
