Luigi Labigalini created MYFACES-4298:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: h:form with prependId="false" causes findComponent to
return null for valid clientId
Key: MYFACES-4298
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-4298
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Luigi Labigalini
This happens because `findComponent` is only diving into the component tree if
it is not an instance of `NamingContainer`. From what I know the only exception
is `UIForm` since it's the only one that has a the attribute `prependId`.
My solution would be to make the following change:
{code:java}
if (!(child instanceof NamingContainer) ||
(child instanceof UIForm && !((UIForm) child).isPrependId()))
{
...
}
{code}

I'll create a Pull Request with these changes as soon as someone validates that
this is really a bug and if anyone has any suggestions or requests like 'please
don't forget to create a test on X and Y' or 'don't forget to also change
version Z and W' I'll be more than happy to do it.
I had a bad experience on my previous contribution attempt but I still want to
become and active contributor so if possible please tell me what are the next
steps so I can have my contribution merged.
