I have a login composite component that looks like this:

<composite:implementation>
<script type="text/javascript">

                 var name = form['#{cc.clientId}:name'].value;
                 var pwd = form['#{cc.clientId}:password'].value;

                 if (name == "" || pwd == "") {
                   alert("Please enter name and password.");
                   return false;
                 }
                 return true;
               }
</script>
 ...
</composite:implementation>

I have components with "name" and "password" component ids in a form in the ... part of the implementation. That works fine.

However, if I pull the JS out into its own file, and do this:

<composite:interface>...</composite:interface>
..
<composite:implementation>
<h:outputScript library="components/login" name="login.js"/>
 ...
</composite:implementation>

h:outputScript puts the JS in the page, but the JS no longer works because the expression cc.clientId evaluates to an empty string.

That's a bug, is it not?

No, I don't believe it is.  The javascript file will be served in a separate request.  There is no way to determine the
component at that time.

I haven't tried it, but I wonder if the flash could be used here?
