[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-11950) rich:findComponent does not retrieve the component for multiply-nested, dynamically generated tab components

[Thomas Amrhein (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11950?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12707457#comment-12707457 ] 

Thomas Amrhein commented on RF-11950:
-------------------------------------

Jean,

does the error still occur with current Mojarra?

In our application we have the error that some render attributes do not work. Our components are not updated. So this might be the same issue.
What helped us much was the following:
- update to current Mojarra 2.1.11 (there are a couple of great fixes with composite components, duplicate IDs, partial state saving with dynamic generated components, etc.)
- change HTML tags to JSF tags

Hope this helps. Mojarra 2.1.11 seem to be perfect with dynamic components now. If your error still occurs RichFaces must investigate in this.

Best regards
