List of Children :0 class com.corejsf.UINLink
parent :javax.faces.component.UINamingContainer@6fa9fc
List of Children :0 class javax.faces.component.html.HtmlPanelGrid

List of Children :0 class com.corejsf.UITabbedPane
List of Children :1 class javax.faces.component.UINamingContainer
//UINLink is my custom Link Component in navigation.jsp
If u can help me up with this .
Well... if you were using JSFTemplating (https://jsftemplating.dev.java.net) this would be very easy. In your page you'd do:
<customComponentWithID ...>
<!afterCreate
setAttribute(key="theClientID", value="$this{clientId}");
/>
</customComponentWithID>
Then anywhere you need to use that client ID just refer to it with: #{theClientID}. You could use this to pass a property to a component, write it directly to the screen (i.e. for JavaScript), or passing it as an argument to Java code.
Without JSFTemplating, you will need to search the UIComponent tree *after* it has been created to find it. Your UINlink component can probably do this during beginEncode(). Start at the UIViewRoot and search the entire tree. Keep in mind this may fail for initial page displays in JSF 1.1 b/c the tree is not fully created before rendering (JSFTemplating solves this too).
Or you could use the "binding" attribute to manually create the component with the client ID you need... and store the value somewhere for later use. Be careful though b/c the component will not be parented unless you do that yourself... you may need to construct it yourself.
I hope this helps!
Good luck!
