PanelGrid component binding problem

Question

I have a panelGrid that is bound to an object in my backing bean. When the page loads the panelGrid is empty. When the user clicks on a button it is suppose to populate the panelGrid. But the panelGrid doesn't render after clicking the button. Here is my code:
jsp
<div style="margin-left:30px;">
             <div>
                 <ice:outputText value="Click 'Run Diagnostics' to begin tests." />
             </div>
             <div style="margin-left:20px;padding-bottom:40px;">
                 <ice:commandButton value="Run Diagnostics"
                                     action="#{SystemDiagnostics.runDiagnostics_clicked}"/>
                 <ice:outputText value="#{SystemDiagnostics.resultsText}"/>
             </div>
             <div>
                 <ice:outputText style="font-decoration:underline;"
                                 value="Diagnostics" />
             </div>
             <div style="margin-left:20px;">
                 <ice:panelGrid binding="#{SystemDiagnostics.diagnosticsPanelGrid}" >
                      <!--Dynamic values go here -->
                 </ice:panelGrid>
             </div>
         </div> bean
public void runDiagnostics_clicked() {
         PdlgCommandCollectionResult result = Pdlg.instanceOf().runDiagnostics();
             if (result.isSuccessful()) {
                 HtmlPanelGrid grid = new HtmlPanelGrid();
                 grid.setColumns(2);
                 HtmlOutputText output = new HtmlOutputText();
                 output.setValue("Boot Disk");
                 grid.getChildren().add(output);
                 output = new HtmlOutputText();
                 output.setValue("Success");
                 grid.getChildren().add(output);
                 setDiagnosticsPanelGrid(grid);
     public HtmlPanelGrid getDiagnosticsPanelGrid() {
         return m_diagnosticsPanelGrid;
     public void setDiagnosticsPanelGrid(HtmlPanelGrid value) {
         m_diagnosticsPanelGrid = value;
     }Does anyone know why this is not rendering?
Thanks,
David

Well, I discovered how to resolve this.
The component that you bind to can not be recreated in the backing bean. Only the components within the bound component can be recreated. So what i did was added a panelGroup and binded that to my backing bean and then was able to recreate the panelGrid that was a child of the panelGroup.
