Ok, a bit of an update. The issue only comes up when I have both of the
tables on the same page. If I comment one out with <%-- %> tags then
everything works fine when adding. I can comment out either one so it's
not a problem specific to just one of the tables, it's something about
having them both that is causing the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks again,
Rich

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.

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?
Thanks,
Rich
