I'm looking over the UIComponentTag.findComponent(id) method where this "problem with duplicate ids" exception is thrown. This code doesn't even check to see if the id is a duplicate. It simply checks if more children were added to the parent than the size of the list of children the parent has. The component in question isn't one of the children because just prior to (and the reason for) executing the code that throws this exception was that the id wasn't found as a child of the component.
The issue here is that sometime earlier the code lost track of the count of siblings and this exception only masks that bug. The comments don't give a reason for adding this index check but there is a comment about it: * Revision 1.16 2004/04/20 10:54:21 royalts * added index check to findComponent Does anyone have any info on this? -- Rob @objectsource.org
