I am trying to attach tooptips to commandButtons in a ui:repeat loop. I create ids of commandButtons dynamically and “for” properties of tooltips too. This gives following error:

My jsf follows:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">

<h:head></h:head>
<h:form id="MyForm">
    <ui:repeat var="rs"
        value="#{rezervasyonBean.rezervasyonSaatleriListesi}">
        <p:commandButton action="#" value="#{rs.saatAraligi}"
            update="@form" 
            id="#{rs.saatAraligi}_test" 
        />

        <p:tooltip for="#{rs.saatAraligi}_test" value="test text"/>
    </ui:repeat>

</h:form>
</html>

rezervasyonBean.rezervasyonSaatleriListesi is as list and elements of the rs.saatAraligi are a,b,c.

My question is: how can I identify ui components dynamically and “for” attribute of p:tooltip in the same way?

Regards.

    The ID attribute of JSF UI components is evaluated during view build time, however the <ui:repeat> runs during view render time and thus #{rs.saatAraligi} would evaluate to null and hence the ID of the command button would always be _test.

    Just remove the #{rs.saatAraligi} expression from the id and for. You don’t need it here. JSF will automatically prefix the iteration index of <ui:repeat> and thus ensure uniqueness of the ID.

    <p:commandButton action="#" value="#{rs.saatAraligi}"
    update="@form" 
    id="test" 
/>
<p:tooltip for="test" value="test text"/>
