            Dear Vitaliy,

            Thanks for the great help, the above code helped me a lot, I was able to take the code to next version, like On a click on a button was able to ADD a Accordion Item, but now my requirement has increased a bit, as at Every Accordion Item I want to show a Delete button which will delete the Accordion Item on click.

             

            Can you please help me.

              Hi, Ashish

               

              Add into file MyBeen next code:

               

                 public void deleteAction(ActionEvent event){

                     String index = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("index");

                     if (index!=null && index.length()>0){

                        list.remove(Integer.parseInt(index));

                     }

                  }

               

                  public void addAction(ActionEvent event) {

                     list.add(new Model(String.valueOf(list.size()), String.valueOf(list.size())));

                  }

               

               

              and change facelet:

               

              <h:form id="main">

                      <rich:accordion switchType="ajax" id="accord">

                          <c:forEach items="#{myBeen.list}" var="list" varStatus="stat">

                              <rich:accordionItem header="#{list.value1}">

                                  <a4j:commandButton value="delete" actionListener="#{myBeen.deleteAction}" render="accord" oncomplete="location.reload()">

                                      <a4j:param name="index" value="#{stat.index}"/>

                                  </a4j:commandButton>

                              </rich:accordionItem>

                          </c:forEach>

                      </rich:accordion>

                  </h:form>

               

                  <h:form>

                      <a4j:commandButton value="add" actionListener="#{myBeen.addAction}" render="accord" />

                  </h:form>

                        this.list = new ArrayList<Model>();

                 

                        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

                            Model m = new Model(String.valueOf(i), String.valueOf(i));

                            this.list.add(m);

                        }

                  Hi, Ashish

                   

                  You may add the condition in rich:accordion:

                   

                  <rich:accordion switchType="ajax" id="accord" rendered="#{not empty myBeen.list}">
