Question

my xhtml form code :

            <h:inputText id="name" value="#{customer.name}" 
                size="20" required="true"
                label="Name" onblur="alert(this.value())" >
            </h:inputText>

Now when I view source it renders to

<input id="j_idt22:name" name="j_idt22:name" onblur="alert(this.value())" size="20"    type="text">

If we check their is a prefix appended to it: j_idt22:,
I want to get this prefix name in my bean form.

how I can achieve that?

Answer 1

To avoid dynamically generated ids in JSF component you could use

<h:form prependId="false"> 

You can directly get the values binded with your managed bean

If you want to retrieve list of names then you could use request.getParameterMap()
