I'm not sure about the problem at your hand, But I have found it extremely helpful and clean in assigning the IDs myself to all the components in a page. It helps in debugging too.
-----Original Message----- From: Richard Wallace [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 08, 2005 2:58 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Tracking down duplicate ids Hey everybody, Got a nasty little problem that I'm not sure what the best way to go about solving it is. I've got a page with a couple of dataTables and a couple of forms on it. One form and dataTable is for one type of object and the other form and dataTable are for another type of object. The forms are for adding new instances. The problem I'm running into is that after adding an instance of either type I get these exceptions: javax.faces.FacesException: cannot add component with id '_id55' and path : {Component-Path : [Class: javax.faces.component.html.HtmlOutputText,Id: _id55]} to its parent component. This might be a problem due to duplicate ids. On most of the elements I'm just letting myfaces generate the ids, so I'm not sure how this is happening. If I just goto the url directly after doing the add it works fine and the new entries are shown. What's the best way to track down what is actually causing this? Should I just start giving ids to all my jsf elements or what?
