How to access/identify components in JSF Declarative Components?

Question

Hi,
I am beginner on ADF. Trying to build first Declarative Components.
Use Case is as follows -
I have put 2 InputTexts in Declarative Component.
Want to set some value in second InputText (txtAddressLine2) in Validator/ValueChangeListner method of first InputText(txtAddressLine2).
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich">
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"/>
<af:componentDef var="attrs" componentVar="component">
<af:xmlContent>
<component xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich/component">
<display-name>Test</display-name>
<attribute>
<attribute-name>
AddressLine2
</attribute-name>
<attribute-class>
java.lang.String
</attribute-class>
</attribute>
<component-extension>
<component-tag-namespace>Address3</component-tag-namespace>
<component-taglib-uri>/Address3</component-taglib-uri>
</component-extension>
</component>
</af:xmlContent>
<af:inputText label="Address Line 1"
binding="#{backing_Address3.txtAddressLine1}"
id="txtAddressLine1"
validator="#{backing_Address3.txtAddressLine1_validator}"
autoSubmit="true" immediate="true" rendered="true"
valueChangeListener="#{backing_Address3.txtAddressLine1_valueChangeListener}"/>
<af:inputText label="Address Line 2" binding="#{backing_Address3.txtAddressLine2}"
id="txtAddressLine2"
validator="#{backing_Address3.txtAddressLine2_validator}"
autoSubmit="true" immediate="true"/>
</af:componentDef>
<!--oracle-jdev-comment:auto-binding-backing-bean-name:backing_Address3-->
</jsp:root>
This is sample I am working on.
I am trying following approaches in bean of Component itself.
Approach I: This does not give any error, value is not set in txtAddressLine2
this.getTxtAddressLine2().setValue("Some Value");
Approach II: Not able to access txtAddressLine2 using findComponent() method
UIViewRoot uiViewRoot = facesContext.getViewRoot();
RichInputText inputText;
inputText = null;
if (uiViewRoot.findComponent("txtAddressLine2") != null) {
System.out.println("Found ");
inputText = (RichInputText)uiViewRoot.findComponent("txtAddressLine2");
inputText.setValue("my value");
} else {
System.out.println("Not Found "); //Always not found
Can anybody tell me correct way to access components and set their values inside Declarative Components itself?

Answer 1

Thanks buddies....its resolved!
This is how I have done it -
Components have these 2 Input Texts :
<af:inputText label="Label 1" id="txt1" autoSubmit="true" immediate="true"
binding="#{DC2.txt1}" validator="#{DC2.txt1_validator}"/>
<af:inputText label="Label 2" binding="#{DC2.txt2}" id="txt2"
immediate="true" autoSubmit="true" partialTriggers="txt1"/>
Code in Component Bean setting value is as follows:
RichInputText txt22;
txt22 = getTxt2();
txt22.setSubmittedValue("Some Value");
