id of ui:repeat

Question

How can i set the id of ui:repeat

Structure of my code is

Tabview
  ui : repeat 
     dattable
       column
          checkbox

I am getting the id of checkbox as

tabViewId:0:j_idt45:0:dataTableId:0:checkBoxId

It contains 7 things which are

id of tabview
active tab
ui:repeat id
index of ui:repeat
id of dattable
row of dattable
id of checkbox

i want to assign id of ui:repeat so that it does not chooses it on its own.

How can i set the id of ui:repeat, say

repeatId

instead of j_idt45

You should try:

<ui:repeat id="repeatId" ...

(it is undocumented but it works in both Mojarra and MyFaces).

Thanks Adam :) :) :) . It worked. But this kind of things should be properly documented. – Mciver

Just to note: I've tried to use this combined with <ui:repeat varStatus="val">. In one of the components inside <ui:repeat> i had id="value#{val.index}". Unfortunately the ValueExpression is not evaluated and the result is only value. – Botheration

Nice idea. But did not work in Primefaces 6.0 (JSF 2.2)? Any help please? – Alible

This also works in MyFaces. I edited to add that fact. – Rhiannonrhianon

Whoa. Nice one. Works in JSF 2.2 using PF 7.0. – Bernina
