I am extending HtmlOutputLabel adding a "*" when its for component is required.
I am almost successful but I am having a problem. The "*" is not rendered the first time the page is rendered. The problem, is that findComponent does not find the "for" component using findComponent the first time: [...] public EditableValueHolder getInputFor(){ UIComponent uiFor = findComponent(getFor()); if (uiFor == null || !(uiFor instanceof EditableValueHolder)) return null; return (EditableValueHolder) uiFor; } [...] EditableValueHolder uiFor = uiLabel.getInputFor(); if (uiFor == null || !((EditableValueHolder) uiFor).isRequired()) return; [...] <f:view> <h:form> <csa:outputLabel id="ol" value="Hello world" for="it""/> <t:inputText id="it" required="true" /> <t:commandButton id="cb" value="Button"/> </h:form> <t:messages /> </f:view> Why it is not find
