Message/Validation Component is a dataTable

[Elam Daly]

Hi all,

I have a dataTable in which one of the columns has an input with a custom validator.  The problem with the validation is that when it's called, myfaces has no idea which id to return the message to, because all the id's are prefixed with a row number. So if my input has an id of "EmployeeId", then when myfaces renders the page it's id has been changed to "11:EmployeeId" or whatever row number the validator threw the error.

Is there someway to specify that the message is for that specific row:id or is there another way to do the validation I need within a dataTable that has multiple inputs?

Thanks,
