Hi Felix, I believe that it's controlled by the JSP 2.1 spec, but doesn't define the exact structure of the id. For instance, RI generates something like j_id__handler_XYZ. I'm really not an expert of that part of the specification so I may be wrong, but at least it gives you a place to start looking for an answer.
