Why PF 3.0.M3 changed how id of tabView elems. ?

[mitnpatel]

Hi,
I have recently switched from Primeface 3.0.M2 to Primefaces 3.0.M3.
I noticed some of styling are not been adding to elements inside TabView widget.
Then I noticed that in 3.0.M3 is prepending id of parent element to Id of child elements in tabView.
e.g.

Code: Select all

  
<h:form prependId="false">
  <p:tabView id="targetDetailsTabView" dynamic="true" cache="true"
    activeIndex="#{targetList.activeTargetDetailsTabIndex}" onTabChange="targetDetailsTabChanged(); ">
    <p:tab id="targetDetailsSingleTab" title="#{msgs.assetInfo}" styleClass="targetDescriptonContainer">

      <h:form id="targetDetailsRefreshForm" prependId="false">
        <p:panel id="targetDetailsRefreshWrapper" styleClass="targetDetailsWrappers">
          <p:commandButton id="singleTargetRefresh" value="#{msgs.refresh}" action="#{targetDetails.onRefreshClick}"
            update="targetDetailsFeaturesListWrapper" styleClass="refreshButtonLrg" />
          <br style="clear: both;" />
          <h:outputText id="targetDetailsRefreshDescription" value="#{msgs.refreshDescription}"
            styleClass="targetDetailsRefreshDescription" />
        </p:panel>
      </h:form>

      <p:dataGrid id="targetDetailsFeaturesListWrapper" var="targetFeature"
        value="#{targetDetails.selectedTargetFeatureList}" columns="1">

        <p:column>
          <p:panel>
            <p:panel styleClass="targetFeatureDetailsWrappers">
              <h:outputText id="nameTitle" value="#{targetFeature.feature.name} #{targetFeature.feature.version}"
                styleClass="targetFeatureName" />
            </p:panel>
        </p:column>
      </p:dataGrid>

    </p:tab>
    <p:tab rendered="#{targetList.renderTrayTab}" id="targetDetailsMultipleTab"
      title="#{msgs.jobTray} (#{multipleTargetsDetails.selectedTargetsCount})" styleClass="targetDescriptonContainer">
      <ui:include src="multiTargetDetails.xhtml" />
    </p:tab>
  </p:tabView>
</h:form>
 

This code assigne id="targetDetailsTabView:targetDetailsFeaturesListWrapper" to generated Datagrid. This is why I need to make changes into my existing code to adopt PF 3.0.M3.

If there any way I can control over generated Id ( not let parent id to parent to child id in tabView widget in PF 3.0.M3) ?
I was also wondering what is reason behind changing this into PF 3.0.M3 ?
Can I assume that this behaviour is going to be stable in feature releases ?

@Drake Thank you for link. It is same issue as of mine.

But I still do not get clear solution for this issue there.

To implement dynamic tab model.

Is there any way that to turn that off when not using daynamic tab ?

It is creating too much problem for me as I can not update any element inside tab after ajax.
Any idea or suggetion for workaround this problem ?

You need to read how findComponent API of UIComponent works to understand how things work. This is not related to tabs but apply in general, how to properly reference components in JSF from other components.
