[jsr-314-open-mirror] [jsr-314-open] Ajax inside a DataTable

[Martin Marinschek]

Hi Andy,

> Ids specified by <f:ajax> are relative to containing component - in this
> case, relative to the <h:commandButton>.    This makes is easy to specify
> execute/render ids for components within the same NamingContainer (which is
> by far the most common case).  In the case of iterating components like
> <h:dataTable> or <ui:repeat>, this means that execute/render ids refer to
> components within the same row.

Yes, but what Cagatay totally correctly refers to is that the table is
certainly not in a row - how can the table be in a row of itself? This
is semantical nonsense.

We should never include the row-index in the client-id of the table
itself. For this, we need to revise the client-id generation
algorithm.

Without actually having tried it, I think that it is easy to do so, as
we have a UIComponentBase.getContainerClientId() to create the
client-id of the children - when this method is called, we append the
row-index, if getClientId() itself is called, we don´t. Does this
sound reasonable to you guys?

I think we can regard this as an implementation bug - Catagay, can you
open issues for Mojarra and MyFaces?

best regards,

Martin
