I want to find some UIComponent
from managed bean by the id that I have provided.
I have written the following code:
private UIComponent getUIComponent(String id) {
return FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().findComponent(id) ;
}
I have defined a p:inputTextarea
as:
<p:inputTextarea id="activityDescription" value="#{adminController.activityDTO.activityDescription}" required="true" maxlength="120"
autoResize="true" counter="counter" counterTemplate="{0} characters remaining." cols="80" rows="2" />
Now if a call to the method as getUIComponent("activityDescription")
it is returning null
, but if I call it as getUIComponent("adminTabView:activityForm:activityDescription")
then I can get the org.primefaces.component.inputtextarea.InputTextarea
instance.
Is there any way to get the component with only the id i.e., "activityDescription" not the absolute id i.e., "adminTabView:activityForm:activityDescription"?
