AbstractHtmlPanelTabbedPane#getUIComponent - what is it doing?
Can anyone explain what the private method
AbstractHtmlPanelTabbedPane#getUIComponent is doing?
In instances where it is passed a UINamingContainer or UIForm, it
iterates over the children, and ultimately returns the last child it
finds (recursively calling itself for each child). What I don't
understand is why it needs to do this. I'm also unsure as to what a
UINamingContainer is, I've read the JavaDocs, but didn't find them very
enlightening - although that could just be me!
Thanks
James.

Thanks Mike,
I think that sort of explains it - especially having now had a quick look at the Renderer. Really appreciate your help!

In the most basic form, a UINamingContainer is what generates the x:
prefix in your component ids.
ie, form:something:somethingelse:_id12 has three UINamingContainers:
form, something, somethingelse.
In more technical terms, it creates a new namespace for the ids of the
components that it contains, so that those ids only need to be unique
inside the container.
