dynamic - Programmatically create and add composite component in backing bean

I am working with a dynamic dashboard where users can pin and remove items as they like. Now I have a problem that I want to add existing composite component to the view from the backing bean. I've tried to find correct way to do this from the internet but no success so far. Here is the simple composite component I want to add:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:cc="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite"
      xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
      xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
      xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
      xmlns:composite="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite">
    <!-- INTERFACE -->
    <cc:interface>

    </cc:interface>

    <!-- IMPLEMENTATION -->
    <cc:implementation>
        <h:outputText value="TEST"/>
    </cc:implementation>
</html>

Here is the code which should return the composite component:

public static UIComponent getCompositeComponent(String xhtml, String namespace) {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    Application app = fc.getApplication();
    Resource componentResource = app.getResourceHandler().createResource(xhtml, namespace);

    UIPanel facet = (UIPanel) app.createComponent(UIPanel.COMPONENT_TYPE);
    facet.setRendererType("javax.faces.Group");
    UIComponent composite = app.createComponent(fc, componentResource);
    composite.getFacets().put(UIComponent.COMPOSITE_FACET_NAME, facet);

    return composite;
}

And here is how I am using the function:

Column column = new Column();
UIComponent test = HtmlUtil.getCompositeComponent("test.xhtml", "comp");
column.getChildren().add(test);

But nothing is rendered inside the column. Any ideas how this could be done? I don't want to go with the rendered="#{bean.isThisRendered}" way because it does not fit in my use case.

This code is incomplete. You need to use FaceletContext#includeFacelet() afterwards to include the composite component resource in the composite component implementation. Here's an utility method which does the job. It's important to have the parent at hands, as it is the context where the #{cc} should be created in the EL scope. So this utility method also immediately adds the composite as a child of the given parent. Further, it's important to give the composite component a fixed ID, otherwise JSF wouldn't be able to process any form/input/command components inside the composite.

public static void includeCompositeComponent(UIComponent parent, String libraryName, String resourceName, String id) {
    // Prepare.
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    Application application = context.getApplication();
    FaceletContext faceletContext = (FaceletContext) context.getAttributes().get(FaceletContext.FACELET_CONTEXT_KEY);

    // This basically creates <ui:component> based on <composite:interface>.
    Resource resource = application.getResourceHandler().createResource(resourceName, libraryName);
    UIComponent composite = application.createComponent(context, resource);
    composite.setId(id); // Mandatory for the case composite is part of UIForm! Otherwise JSF can't find inputs.

    // This basically creates <composite:implementation>.
    UIComponent implementation = application.createComponent(UIPanel.COMPONENT_TYPE);
    implementation.setRendererType("javax.faces.Group");
    composite.getFacets().put(UIComponent.COMPOSITE_FACET_NAME, implementation);

    // Now include the composite component file in the given parent.
    parent.getChildren().add(composite);
    parent.pushComponentToEL(context, composite); // This makes #{cc} available.
    try {
        faceletContext.includeFacelet(implementation, resource.getURL());
    } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new FacesException(e);
    } finally {
        parent.popComponentFromEL(context);
    }
}

So, in your particular example, use it as follows:

includeCompositeComponent(column, "comp", "test.xhtml", "someUniqueId");
