Forward references to components

[Adib Saikali <as...@intelligenceaids.com>]

When I forward reference a component in an message tag I get an
exception is this a bug in myfaces 1.0.7?

<h:message id="errors" for="helloInput" style="color: red"></h:message>
<h:inputText id="helloInput" value="#{helloBean.numControls}"
required="true" />

However if I do all is well?

<h:inputText id="helloInput" value="#{helloBean.numControls}"
required="true" />
<h:message id="errors" for="helloInput" style="color: red"></h:message>

Thanks
Adib

Hi Adib,
this is by JSP/JSF combination.

<h:message for="x" .../>
<h:input id="x"/>

calling first time the page, <h:message doesn't know
a component with id x;

workarounds:
-move <h;message/> behind <h:input/> (like you did)
-nest them inside of <h:panelGrid/>

see more on Hans Bergsten's article

Btw. Hans is JSF-EG-Member, or he was in JSF1.0

HTH,
Matthias
