 I'm not sure if this is what you need, but I have a situation where I need to get the id of controls that are created inside a repeat control.

 

At run time, I never know how many controls there are going to be.  

 

What I do is give the target control  a "throwaway" css style class name, like "myCustomControl".  

Then, when I need to process the controls, I use dojo.query(".myCustomControl") to get an array of all the nodes in the DOM with my target CSS class. 

 

Hope this helps,

I did a little testing and had the same issue as you.

 

I got a little help from this page: 

http://www.icefaces.org/JForum/posts/list/6760.page;jsessionid=C1870B4FADF8F7EB0DF4CB747BAD09AB 

 

Try this instead of the other findComponent I posted: 

view.findComponent( clientId.replace( view.getClientId( facesContext ), '' ).replace( /\:\d*\:/g, ':' ) ); 

 

To test, I wrote a very simple custom control that shows the error messages similar to what you wanted. It also generates a link on the error message. When the error message is clicked, the field with the error gets focus.

var component = view.findComponent( clientId.replace( view.getClientId( facesContext ), '' ).replace( /\:\d*\:/g, ':' ) );
if( !component ){ continue; }

var message = '', messages = facesContext.getMessages( clientId );
while( messages.hasNext() ){
message += (message) ? ', ' : '' + messages.next().getSummary();
}

var labelComponent = getLabelFor( component );
var label = ( labelComponent ) ? labelComponent.getValue() : '';

messageObjects.push({
clientId: clientId,
label: label,
message: message
});
}

 viewScope.messageObjects = messageObjects;}]]></xp:this.beforeRenderResponse>
