Question

I am using JSF Mojarra 2.2 and Primefaces 4.0.

On my page I use <ui:repeat> to render some dataTables. By clicking on the name column of a single row-element additional information for this row is loaded via ajax and displayed below the tables in a separate panel. The page renders normally and behaves as expected in the beginning. After some clicks and loading additional information via ajax I get:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Component ID has already been found in the view.

My xhtml page

                        <p:outputPanel id="filterInfoPanel"
                            style="border:none; margin-left:10px;">
                            <ui:repeat var="filter"
                                value="#{domainComparisonBean.currentFilters}" varStatus="status">
                            [...]               
                            </ui:repeat>
                        </p:outputPanel>
                    </h:form>
                </ui:define>

It seems that by mistake the <ui:repeat> is inserted multiple times with the same id into the document tree.

The problem only occurs in combination with ajax functionality. If I set ajax="false" in my <p:commandLink> I do not get any errors.

Please help me understand why this happens and how to avoid it!

Was it helpful?

Solution

As stated by BalusC in the comments, I used <p:dataList type="none"> to replace <ui:repeat> which solves the error.
