Sorry, I kind of left out the myfaces-list in the forward, put it again.
I don't want to access the data-model. I need to access the component
directly, cause I need to access it from another component. The
problem is e.g. with messages, when a validation fails and the input
field the message is referring to is wrapped in a dataTable.
I'm re-adding two of my original mails for more context.

Hi *,
I am having the following problem:
whenever I use dataTables
- and use messages alongside, or AJAX, or other stuff using findComponent -
I have the problem that I can't work with the components that are
children of the dataTables if I call a findComponent. Of course - I
won't find the correct component instance, due to the generated id and
the things the dataTable is doing to set the context of the current
row.
I've been thinking of a solution to this problem, and the only
solution that has come to my mind is to get rid of findComponent for
such things - and create an "executeOnComponent" method, which can be
implemented by all components doing special things with their
children.
I believe that components are too much of a black box for
findComponent ever to work at all - what's your impression?
Thoughts? feedback? Better ideas ;) ?
regards,
Martin
============================================
Example 1: try to use an input-field in your data-table, and look at
the output of the <h:messages> - the messages won't indicate the row
of the component in the dataTable - they can't, due to this problem.
Example 2: try to use the new AJAX-form components (which rely on the
usage of find-component heavily) in a dataTable.
regards,
Martin
