The input markup values in the html forms are identified by the "name" 
attribute.  The decode of the components looks for the clientId in the request 
parameter map.  The components should render the id and name attributes 
identically.

The h:form is defined as a naming container.  Naming containers add a prefix to 
the id of the component.  This allows you to include the same presentation 
fragment several time within the same html form.  One of the clay reuse 
usecases (the person, full person, business) does this but uses subview.

You mean something like this:

I see what you mean.  A JSF inputSecret would behave like any other
component.
 
I have a couple ideas to try.  We could try using the "clayOut" to generate
makup that is ignored by the html to component mappings.


   
   
   
   


Another option might be to use the tomahawk t:inputSecret.  It has a forceId
option that ignores naming containers.

I think it becomes an issue if you are using the same component by id within
the same naming
container.  But, I think that there are several efforts to solve the
problem.  The Trinidad tr:form component is not a naming container.  This
means that the components added to the trinidad form component will not be
prefixed with the form name.  The tomahawk components have the forceId.
I want to say that JSF 1.2 has something similar but I might be making that
up.

I don't think this is something that Clay can solve.  It's the components
responsibility to render markup.  Clay only glues them together.

IMO, unless we can find another scenario, I'd rather not make changes just
to make this one component work.  The component should be renderering the
hidden attribute if it is needed by the component.
