Hi All,
I've always hated the "forceId" feature of tomahawk for two reasons:
(a) it makes it dangerous to compose pages using facelets templating,
jsp:include or similar
(b) it only works for tomahawk components
There is nothing that can be done about (a); any "flattening" of the id
is dangerous. But sometimes it is just necessary.
It is possible to do something about (b) though. JSF1.2 adds method
UIComponentBase.getContainerClientId. A trivial component can therefore
be written that prevents any prefix being applied to the ids of its
child components:
<f:subview id="mysubview1">
<h:commandButton id="btn1" ../> # clientId = "mysubview1:btn1"
<s:globalId id="whatever">
<h:commandButton id="btn2" .../> # clientId="btn2"
<h:graphicImage id="img1" ../> # clientId="img1"
</s:globalId>
</f:subview>
The implementation is trivial:
public class GlobalId extends UIComponentBase implements NamingContainer
{
private final static String COMPONENT_FAMILY = "oamc.GlobalId";
public String getFamily()
{
return COMPONENT_FAMILY;
}
public String getContainerClientId(FacesContext facesContext)
{
return null;
}
}
Note that this component would only work for JSF1.2 or later (though it
will compile fine with JSF1.1).
Would this be useful or not?
Regards,
Simon
