Hello Again,
I am in the process of writing a custom validator that generates the client side validation for me so I don't have to do anything more the use a tag and give it an error message and it will validate.
So far things fave been going well except when I use a data table and have the components that are being validated inside the data table.
In the validator tag I have
  protected FacesContext context = null;
  protected Application application = null; 
  protected UIComponentTag parentTag = null;
  protected UIComponent parentComponent = null;
  public int doStartTag() throws JspException {
    this.context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    this.application = this.context.getApplication();
    this.parentTag = UIComponentTag.getParentUIComponentTag(pageContext);
    this.parentComponent = parentTag.getComponentInstance();
    return super.doStartTag();
  public int doEndTag() throws JspException {
    String id = parentComponent.getClientId(context);
    /***** Output script that uses the id goes here *****/
Accourding to the UIComponent JavaDoc getClientId() method should return a consistant value but it is not. When called from within the jsf components renderkit it provides
[i]Form:Datatable:Row:Component
But from in my validator it returns
Form:Datatable:Component
Which is obviously incorrect. I'm not sure why this is occurring or if it is fixable.
Thanks again for any help that can be provided.
