Found initalFocusId setting for a component in Taskflow region .jsff

Question

Hello All,
I found a way to set initialFocus on a component that is in a .jsff page fragment and which is used in a .jspx page as a Taskflow based region
To implement the initialfocus
<li>need to run the page</li>
<li>view the page source and get the component id after it loads which looks like r1:0:it1 this helps in identifying the path of the component from inside the taskflow region</li>
<li>now set the id r1:0:it1 in the jspx af:document initialFocusId="r1:0:it1"</li>
<li>set the property of the component in .jsff as clientComponent="true"</li>
voila!!! this works great
let me know if anyone needs more info or a sample workspace .. happy to share :)
Thanks,
Tej

Hi,
the command button is in the page fragment, so you can perform a relative search. In your actionListener you receive the actionEvent object to start from
RichCommandButton button = (RichCommandButton) actionEvent.getUIComponent();
RichPopup popup = button.getParent();
RichTable table = (RichTable) popup.findComponent("tb1");
...You would only use absolute searches when the search is initiated from the parent page. Otherwise you search relative
