I am new to RichFaces and JSF. I am programmatically creating a RichFaces PanelBar with several PanelBarItems. The PanelBarItems have nested PanelBar and PanelBarItems. Up to here it works fine. Inside the inner PanelBarItems I need to nest some JSF Components - an HTMLPanelGrid with some outputText and CommandLinks etc. These seem to compile and run, but nothing is displayed - only the RichFaces components display. The code is below. Any ideas?

From xhtml page:

<rich:panelBar binding="#{datasetManagementMainWebBean.scheduleBar}"/>

 /**
 * Programmatically builds the RichFaces PanelBar component. One panel item is built for each schedule in scheduleList
 * and each of those has a panel bar created with one panel item for each dataset that has been received against that schedule.
 * Each dataset panel item is them populated with various components based on their state.
 *
 * @return the RichFaces HtmlPanelBar object
