Nested Components vs Custom View

I am trying to build a composite controll, like the one used in the
address book to display and capture the address details.

I am contemplating two options:

1.) To construct a controll by nesting various component inside each
other, like one would do using Java Swing. Having a Java back ground this
seems practical, but I don't know how to apply this in cocoa.

2.) To construct a custom view. I think this might be the preferred Cocoa
approach, yet I haven't found any examples of controlls being dynamically
added to a view.

I would really appreciate any suggestion on how this is done using Cocoa.
Any examples, or link to examples, would also be really great.

Thanks
Alex
