Can anyone advise naming conventions for component id's?

No... not realy. Although... I always try to have them as functional/business like as possible and as less technical as possible.

JSF Coding rules

Here are the rules to follow when developing JSF pages:
1. One view = one xhtml page.
2. One modalPanel = one xhtml page.
3. One page xhtml = one corresponding backing bean
4. Edit form = Add form
5. Backing bean name xxx = xxxBean.
6. Do not use session scope.
7. No text should be hardcoded in the page -> Everything should be in a utf-8 properties file.
8. Avoid at maximum the components binding
9. A bean should have the same name as the page viewBuyers.xhtml --> viewBuyersBean
10. Utilize 'empty' and 'not empty' instead of '!=null'
11. Add always the id attribute on the JSF components. The prefixes are:

• Input text : txt
  Label : lbl
  Div : div
  Combobox : sel
  Column : col
  Datatable : dtb
  Checkbox : chk
  Form : frm
  Button : btn
  Link : lnk
  DataScroller : dts
  Image : img
  Panel : pnl
  ModalPanel : mdl

12.Prefix the page name based on the actions :

• viewMyPage : if the page displays the details of an entity(ex : viewBuyer)
  listMyPage : if the page displays a list of entities (ex : listBuyer)
  editMyPage : if the page add/modify an entity (ex : editBuyer)

13.Postfix the page by Modal if it the page contains a modal panel(ex : editBuyerModal).
