possible bug in jsf 2.0.2
I found a strange thing in jsf 2:
THIS WORKS:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<h:head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<h:commandButton value="make" action="#{bean.make}">
<f:ajax render=":grid"/>
</h:commandButton>
</h:form>
<h:panelGrid id="grid">
<h:outputText value="#{bean.makeValue}" />
</h:panelGrid>
</h:body>
</html>
THIS DOES NOT WORK:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<h:head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<h:commandButton value="make" action="#{bean.make}">
<f:ajax render=":grid"/>
</h:commandButton>
</h:form>
<!-- this is the only difference - in this version, I am using a div instead of a jsf-component (h:panelGrid)-->
<div id="grid">
<h:outputText value="#{bean.makeValue}" />
</div>
</h:body>
</html>
I get this error:
<f:ajax> contains an unknown id ':grid' - cannot locate it in the context of the component myCommand.
I looked at my component tree provided from the error-page and find my id which is purly called "grid".
So the id "grid" still exists. But f:ajax cannot find it.
The strange thing is,
when substituting <div id="grid"></div> with <h:panelGrid id="grid"></h:panelGrid> then it is working - f:ajax can find "grid" and makes a update.
So my question:
Does f:ajax works only with jsf-components? Is this a bug? I use jsf-version "jsf-api-2.0.2-FCS.jar.
