MyFaces, Tiles and Renaming Elements

[marqpdx <mi...@tinorb.com>]

We have an issue trying to use Ajax with Tiles and MyFaces. 

Imagine:
    <f:subview id="content">
      <tiles:insert attribute="body" flush="false"/>
    </f:subview>

Inside the body, there is an element id'd "selectTable"  - a lot of Ajax
depends on that ID being unchanged. But, tiles changes it to
content:selectTable

That messes up a lot of stuff.

Any way around that?? Any way to turn off that renaming of my elements by
Faces and Tiles???

Thanks,
m

content:selectTable comes from JSF and not from Tiles.

subview is a naming container, so anything enclosed in it is going to
be prefixed by "content:"

Do you really need a subview enclosing your insert?

as mike pointed out, this comes from JSF

you may try the MyFaces' specific forceID. See [1] as an example
(source code for the jsf page is visible)
