How does JSF generate the name of the form input field?

Question

Any idea anyone? Is it possible that we specify the name of the form input field? How to go about doing that?

Answer 1

For most pages which contain a view, form and some components, the clientID will be the colon seperated string contained the form-id and component-id. Example:

The input text client ID would be "myForm:myInputText". If you have nested within a subview, then that will be the first thing in the list, for example:

Now the input text client ID would be "mySubview:myForm:myInputText".
