Except you render the client-id to the server - transmit it back via an AJAX-request - and now want to lookup the component and do some handling on this component .
How do you do this in ADF faces - I know you are using a filter, but how do you know which component the filter applies to? Do you - additionally to sending the client-id to the client- send the scoped id as well? @Adam: well, findComponent does not work if the component is a child component in a dataTable, and IMHO it should, that's my basic issue here. regards, Martin On 1/26/06, John Fallows <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Folks, > > On 1/25/06, Adam Winer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The intention of clientId is to provide an identifier that can be > > used in markup and therefore to refer to elements on the client. > > > > The point of findComponent() is find UIComponents on the server, > > generally given known (that is, explicitly set) IDs (and I mean > > "id", setId(), getId()) on various waypoints between the source > > component and the target component. > > I think this is the key point for the discussion.
