Well, I'm at home and really don't have any source code here to give you the complete example, but you can open almost any native jsp to check that, you will find a java code line which casts the form to a component.

Something like:

<% AdvSearchEx advsearch = AdvSearchEx)pageContext.getAttribute(IParams.FORM,PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE); %>

Then you are able to use your component.

If you don't know to which component you should do the cast, just cast to Component class and use its methods.

Hi ,

Thanks for the reply .

I tried with below code in container jsp , but not successful .

myCustomContainer containerComp = (myCustomContainer) pageContext.getAttribute(Form.FORM, PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE);

String compName = containerComp.getContainedComponentName();

String componentID= containerComp.getContainedComponentId();

Anything iam missing here ..

I never tried to do that with containers and I don't know if that would work, maybe the FORM parameter on the request always store the contained component, not the container.

Try casting it to Component class and use getComponentId(), like:

Component myComponent = (Component) pageContext.getAttribute(Form.FORM, PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE);

String componentID= myComponent.getComponentId();

Hi Gustavo ,

Thank for the help .

Casting to Component directly and calling getComponentId() is returning only the container component .

But when i use

myCustomContainer containerComp = (myCustomContainer) pageContext.getAttribute(Form.FORM, PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE);

String componentID= containerComp.getContainedComponentId();

am getting the required result , i.e the contained current component ID inside container.
