Brian Kates commented on MYFACES-1834:
--------------------------------------
We're in the process of migrating from MyFaces 1.1 to 1.2 and came across this
issue. Every page is included by Tiles and thus uses the jsp:include. The
implication, as also documented above, is that nothing that relies on an ID
works anymore. One simple example is the calendar popup. Because the ID of
the date input field has the MyFaces generated prefix at the end, the calendar
component can't update the input field with the selected date. Another example
is A4J. It can't update the fields because the ids changed.
> suffix added to component id when including files

> Key: MYFACES-1834
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1834
> Project: MyFaces Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JSR-252
> Affects Versions: 1.2.2
> Reporter: Simon Kitching
> Priority: Minor
>
> In core 1.2 to 1.2.2, any use of jsp:include causes the ids of components in
> the included file to have a random string appended to them.
> This results in some ugly ids. However more significantly, the id of a
> component is not predictable even when an id attribute is explicitly assigned.
> In addition, this breaks the tomahawk forceId feature, because although the
> namespace prefix is omitted the rest of the id changes making "forceId"
> useless.
> The cause is class UIComponentClassicTagBase, where checkIfItIsInAnIterator()
> returns true if the current component is in an included or forwarded page.
> Later, the createUniqueId method adds a suffix to the user-specified if
> member isInAnIterator is true.
> Unfortunately, documentation on why things are implemented as they are is
> lacking.
> Checking for iteration is needed to support
> <c:forEach ..>
> <h:inputText id="name"/>
> </c:forEach>
> Checking for includedOrForwarded might be to allow:
> <jsp:include page="subPage.jsp" />
> <jsp:include page="subPage.jsp" />
> However this is a very rare usage; support for this should not hurt everyone.
> And Sun Mojarra does *not* mess with the ids like this...testing shows
> that the ids of components are the same regardless of whether they are
> inline or in an included file.
> Maybe the "isInIterator" check could look to see whether the *same file* is
> being included twice, eg by keeping a list of the files included so far, and
> returning true only if the same string is encountered twice? That would allow
> multiple inclusions, but not mess with ids for a single inclusion.
