Sorry this is not a bug after all. The findComponent by specification in _ComponentUtils will not search any descendant NamingContainers. Since HTMLPanelTab is a Naming Container it will not search the components contained within.
I guess I will have to write my own search algorithm that will.

When It attempts to set the focus to a component on any tabbed Panel I am getting an Illegal State Exception. java.lang.IllegalStateException: AFocus: findUIComponent() - could not find UIComponent referenced by attribute for = |nameFieldId| at com.alltiers.arch.client.jsf.component.output.focus.AFocus.findUIComponent(A Focus.java:65) Basically the code that is being executed in AFocus's findUIComponent method. AFocus extends UIComponentBase UIComponent forComp = findComponent(forStr); if (forComp == null) { log.error("findUIComponent() - could not find UIComponent referenced by attribute for = |" + forStr + "|"); // TODO - Put in for Development - Remove for Production // Don't Blow Up because you couldn't set Focus // Debug What is in the Component Tree AFacesUtility.debugForm(); throw new IllegalStateException("AFocus: findUIComponent() - could not find UIComponent referenced by attribute for = |" + forStr + "|"); } I placed debugging code in the method and was able to verify that the component does exist. 14:32:20,656 INFO [STDOUT] Component id = nameLabelId Has 0 Children and is of class javax.faces.component.html.HtmlOutputLabel 14:32:20,656 INFO [STDOUT] Component id = _id12 Has 1 Children and is of class javax.faces.component.html.HtmlPanelGroup 14:32:20,656 INFO [STDOUT] ----------------- Displaying Children ------------------- 14:32:20,656 INFO [STDOUT] Component id = nameFieldId Has 0 Children and is of class com.alltiers.arch.client.jsf.component.input.inputtext.AInputText 14:32:20,656 INFO [STDOUT] Component id = _id13 Has 1 Children and is of class javax.faces.component.html.HtmlPanelGroup 14:32:20,656 INFO [STDOUT] ----------------- Displaying Children ------------------- This code was working based on a previous snapshot of MyFaces and Tomahawk. The code also works on any form that does not include a Tabbed Panel. Anybody have any suggestions? Tom
