jsf - How to dynamically wrap Primefaces component in a div? -

i want dynamically enclosed primefaces component in <div> tag. possible?

example using

<p:inputtext />  

will rendered as:

<div> <input id="j_idt18" ...> </div> 

i tried creating custom component extending pf's inputtext , in renderer manually enclosed inputtext markup like:

@override protected void encodemarkup(facescontext context,         org.primefaces.component.inputtext.inputtext inputtext)         throws ioexception {      responsewriter writer = context.getresponsewriter();     string clientid = div.getclientid(context);     writer.startelement("div", div);      super.encodemarkup(context, inputtext);     writer.endelement("div");      } 

it's working fine when ajax update on inputtext component, div rerendered , recreated again. how prevent div being rerendered in markup?

i can't use composite component custom component.

thanks

wrap input in <h:panelgroup layout="block">:

<h:panelgroup layout="block">     <p:inputtext /> </h:panelgroup>
