I tried your solution and it worked :). Here i just posting my answer that how i did it. Actually someone just asked me this question that can we get all the components inside a constructor when our page invoke, i.e., why i asked on this forum:). Here is my code

/** Creates a new instance of ExporterProfileUpdateRequestGrid */
public ExporterProfileUpdateRequestGrid() {

    session = ConnectionUtil.getCurrentSession();
    exporterProfileUpdateRequestList = new ArrayList();

    int test = selectedRadioButton;
    System.out.println();
    //getExporterProfileUpdateRequestGrid();

} //end of constructor

@PostConstruct
public void init() {

    UIViewRoot viewRoot =  FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot();
    UIComponent component1 = viewRoot.findComponent("exporterProfileUpdateRequestGrid");  //form id
    HtmlForm form = (HtmlForm)component1;

    List componentList = form.getChildren();

    for(int i=0; i panelComponentList = myPanel.getChildren();

            for(int j=0; j

I want to ask that i got form(HtmlForm) here, but panel1 and myTable null, why? Although i get panel and table by inspecting HtmlForm children, but why i can't get them directly.

Thanks
