Since UIViewRoot does not implement NamingContainer, the JSR 301/329 specs
defines the PortletNamingContainerUIViewRoot [1] which, as its name indicates,
does indeed implement NamingContainer. This is what causes a nice namespaced ID
for all components in the rendered view. The code for this typically looks
something like this:
public class PortletNamingContainerUIViewRoot extends UIViewRoot implements
NamingContainer, Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 6744332823172081041L;
private String namespace;
@Override
public String getContainerClientId(FacesContext facesContext) {
if (namespace == null) {
ExternalContext externalContext =
facesContext.getExternalContext();
namespace = externalContext.encodeNamespace("");
}
return namespace;
}
}
