    This is a pretty major confusion. The org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDivElement is not a JSF component. This represents a W3 DOM element which has an entirely different purpose (JAXP, DOM parsing).

    You need a subclass of javax.faces.component.UIComponent (just click your way through the “Direct Known Subclasses” in the aforelinked Javadoc to find them all). To render a HTML <div> element, just use HtmlPanelGroup whose layout attribute is set to block.

    HtmlPanelGroup div = new HtmlPanelGroup();
div.setLayout("block");
someParentComponent.getChildren().add(div);

    which does effectively the same as the following in “static” JSF:

    <h:panelGroup layout="block" />
