Well... the resource naming does not work. Blows up in UIComponentBase.
private static void validateId(String id) {
if (id == null) {
return;
}
int n = id.length();
if (n < 1) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Empty id attribute is not
allowed");
}
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
char c = id.charAt(i);
if (i == 0) {
if (!Character.isLetter(c) && (c != '_')) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(id);
}
} else {
if (!Character.isLetter(c) &&
!Character.isDigit(c) &&
(c != '-') && (c != '_')) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(id);
}
}
}
}
