Finding Component on Dynamically Created UI

Question

I am having a hard time regarding finding a particular component in my managed bean if your UI is dynamically created (say using an iterator..) especially
if you need that component during PPR.
As of the moment, I am doing this but its really ugly and is bound to be broken if I add another layout.
public void handleChange(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
     UIComponent component = valueChangeEvent.getSource().getParent().getChildren().get(0).getChildren().getFacet("end").get(0).getChildren().get(1);
     AdfFacesContext context = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
     context.addPartialTarget(component);
}This code wont work also, since at runtime, I wouldnt know the id of the component.
FacesContext facesCtx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); 
facesCtx.getViewRoot().findComponent(name) ; Been thinking about this for sometime now. Help needed.

Answer 1

you can use this instead
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().findComponent("<id>);
or
// used to locate region. Could also find any component
// located in the base ViewRoot()
public static UIComponent findComponentInRoot(String id) {
UIComponent component = null;
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
if (facesContext != null) {
UIComponent root = facesContext.getViewRoot();
component = findComponent(root, id);
return component;
// Recursive method which finds your component within JSFF
// regardless of facet or other UIComponents which may have children
public static UIComponent findComponent(UIComponent base, String id) {
if (id.equals(base.getId()))
return base;
UIComponent kid = null;
UIComponent result = null;
Iterator kids = base.getFacetsAndChildren();
while (kids.hasNext() && (result == null)) {
kid = (UIComponent) kids.next();
if (id.equals(kid.getId())) {
result = kid;
break;
result = findComponent(kid, id);
if (result != null) {
break;
return result;
}
