If it uses column header name, user will not know which row. For outputLabel, id is still needed. The id should not be a constant string, otherwise, all rows will have the same id. If JSF allow id to be bound to a variable in backing bean data model, everything will be solved.
I do not know why ID must be a literal string.

I believe that, if you use <t:messages>, it will use the name given in the column header (for dataTables) or the associated outputLabel (in other cases).I put in a request to expand <t:messages> to optionally take the component's identifying name from the component's title attribute. I was going to try to do this patch myself, but then I got bogged down in getting a clean compile from the code I got from Subversion, so I haven't made much progress in that regard.- Brendan-----Original Message-----

Subject: how to set id in dataTable.In the dataTable, I like to set id for inputText so that the JSF validator can give user a nice message when it is required but empty. The id can not bind to an EL, but in dataTable all values should come from data model to be meaningful. Current message like:_id39: value required.The id is generated by JSF. From the Id ,users does not know which field is required.Thanks for ideas.Dave
