most of the components offer a public getClientId() method :)
if you use some that doesn't you have to do:
@Inject
private PageRenderSupport _pageRenderSupport;
@Inject
private ComponentResources _resources;
_pageRenderSupport.allocateClientId(_resources.getId());

Re: T5: coordinating components and/or mixins
So when I use @InjectComponent, what type must I inject? If the
PageRenderSupport service has the method I need, woudn't I inject that
(as an @Environmental)?
thanks again :)
