How to get client id?

[xmen.lin]

I used jsf faclets 1.2 to custome compoents(jquery datetimepicker).

when input text is not in table, It is ok.

<form id='aform'>   

     <e:calendar id="stopTime"  value="#{op.editData.schFinishTime}"/>

</form>

var id = "#" + "#{rich:clientId(id)}";

It is ok to get client id with rich:clientId.   id is 'aform:stopTime'

but when input text is in table, It is error.

<form id='aform'> 

<rich:dataTable id="editTable" value="#{op.tabModel.data}" var="step">

<r:column styleClass="center">

                     <f:facet name="header">

                         <h:outputText value="finish time" />

                     </f:facet>

                    <e:calendar id="stopTime"  value="#{step.schFinishTime}"/>

                  </r:column>

</rich:dataTable>

</form>

var id = "#" + "#{rich:clientId(id)}";

It is error to get client id with rich:clientId.   id is 'aform:stopTime', but it is 'aform:editTable:0:stopTIme' in DOM.

how to resolve the error?

Hi,

it is a known issue in client-side functions, see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-8770. The issue was rejected because we could not find any real-world use case.

Thanks!

When we need multi-line editing, we need this feature。

This is very useful for ERP。So can the richfaces team resolve the issue？

Hi Xmen,

If you use rich:clientId inside table, you'll get the expected value, otherwise - no. That's how iteration components work in JSF. You can set iteration state explicitly, in this case client id will include it.
