I am using PrimeFaces 3.2 with JSF 2 in a glassfish 3.1.2.

I have a <p:dataTable> which displays search results containing information on different issues (the issues are assigned to users).
If somebody clicks on the icon of the assigned user a <p:dialog> pops up.
The user icon and the according dialog are implemented using a composite.
Inside the composite I am using some jQuery functions which need a unique ID for each dialog component – I am not able to find a way to solve this problem.

My investigations so far:

I need to set the widgetVar attribute, which works fine as long as I have only one user in the list but it seems that inside a dataTable the widgetVar is not unique for many composites.
Since the user can be displayed more than one time inside the search result, I am not able to setup an widgetVar like this:

<ui:param name="myWidgetVar" value="widget_#{user.id}" />

and use it this way

<p:dialog widgetVar="#{myWidgetVar}">

also using #{cc.id} does not resolve the problem ’cause it only returns the id of the widget without the naming-container part which is always the same.

I need the complete id as displayed in html (e.g.: form:jdt123:dialog:456) – how can I get this?

Does anyone know what to do?

Thanks Pete

    My solution is using #{cc.clientId} which I did not know yet.
    This gives me the complete html element id constisting of the series of identifiers glued with the UINamingContainer#getSeparatorChar (e.g.: form:jdt123:dialog:jdt456)
