Thanks for all your replies. Yes, binding attribute will surely work and it does in my case as well. But I am still not able to understand why is findComponent not able to find the component.
If browsed through the children of the UIViewRoot instance that gets created. Surprisingly the component which i am trying to find is present there with the same ID. I went through the myfaces code as well but could not find a reason of it not working. > -----Original Message----- > From: Simon Kitching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 12:53 AM > To: MyFaces Discussion > Subject: Re: When is rendered attribute checked? > > Mike Kienenberger wrote: > > On 12/12/06, *Madhav Bhargava* <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: > > > > 1.
