Answer 1

You can instantiated components in a managed bean of yours. For example:

<a4j:commandButton value="+" action="#{yourBean.addCheckbox}" />

and in your bean something like:

public void addCheckbox() {
     HtmlCheckBox checkBox = new HtmlCheckBox();
     parent.getChildren().add(checkBox); // parent is, for ex. HtmlPanelGroup
}

Answer 2

Make use of rich:dataTable or rich:dataList to iterate over an array or collection, displaying an input box on every iteration. The plus button should add a new item to the array or collection everytime and rerender the table or list.
