it is by overriding the method 'getInputName' on every FormComponent and returning a stable identifier over requests - though this is pretty horrible task to do. If you're using Scala instead of Java things are getting better, though. I defined the following trait (aka implemented interface): --- object FormInputNameId { private var currId = 0 private def getName = { if( currId==Integer.MAX_VALUE-1 ) currId=1 else currId = currId + 1 "fid:" + currId } } trait FormInputNameId[T] extends FormComponent[T] { override val getInputName: String = FormInputNameId.getName } --- This trait can be attached to any FormComponent with just something like val newFormComponent = new TextField( "id" ) with FormInputNameId The Scala compiler does the rest for you (one of my favorite features of Scala to have real reusable code!).
