Reference current control's ID

[oneworld95]

How do you get a reference to the current control's attributes? For example, this doesn't display any value, but I'd like to get the ID to use in an expression:

<h:inputText id="txt_1" value="#{this.id}" />

The only way to do that in the JSF 1.x is 'binding': you can bind JSF component to a bean and create 'getId()' method in that bean.

Thanks, Alex. Much appreciated.
