Determining page region through FacesContext

Question

In 11g, what's the best way of determining which region (jsff) is currently being used ?
In 10g to provide conditional "Requery Condition" I used to use #{facesContext.viewRoot.viewId} on the group to check if the table or the form view was being used. This works fine for standalone pages but not for the new regions. How can I accomplish the same thing ?
The other place I need this functionality is for wizards where I am re-using a detail group between two different wizard pages (regions). On the entry page, the detail group is to be editable but on the summary page the group is to be read only. For this I could of course duplicate the detail group, make one editable and one read only and use different groups on the different pages still pointing to the same data collection. I would rather set the "Update Allowed" property such that I could use the same group in the two different regions.
Many thanks !
Cheers,
Brent

Brent,
You can use
#{controllerContext.currentViewPort.viewId}
this will return strings like "/EmployeesTaskFlow/EmployeesTable" for the table page, and "/EmployeesTaskFlow/Employees" for the form page.
