findComponent with UIData

[Martin Marinschek <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I am having a problem giving me a hard time with components nested in a UIData.

The problem is that finding these components does not work in all
cases - imagine the case that a message is added by a validator.

This message gets a client-id, as this is done while stepping through
the rows of the UIData, this client-id looks like that:
form:data_6:cname...

If I call UIComponentBase.findComponent later on providing this
clientId, I will not find a component as the findComponent method only
checks for the ids; and will not associate the data_6 part of the
client-id with the correct component. It will always return null!

What do you guys think about that problem? Anyone having a workaround?

regards,

Martin

I'm thinking this might be a spec bug.  The UIData should override the
findcomponent method to call findcomponent for all of its applicable
rows.  Unfortunately this is not the case now.
