Richfaces component created through Java, how to put it into xhtml?

[jasonmei]

Richfaces component is easy to use by write tags in the facelets pages. for example:

<rich:dropDownMenu value="Item1">
...
</rich:dropDownMenu>

My question is how to put the richfaces component(created by Java code) into facelets pages? the java code like this :

import org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlDropDownMenu;   
...
HtmlDropDownMenu myDropDownMenu = new HtmlDropDownMenu();

Thanks in advance!

You use the binding attribute

in facelets:

<rich:dropDownMenu binding="#{mybean.menu}" >

java:

@Name("mybean")
public class MyBean
{
  HtmlDropDownMenu menu= new HtmlDropDownMenu();

  gettter and setter for menu...

}
