>             Project: MyFaces Tomahawk
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Validators
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.6
>         Environment: MyFaces Core 1.2.2 - Tomahawk 1.1.6 - RichFaces 3.2.0-GA - Spring 2.0.5 on Jetty 6.1.3

> (Put as Major - since might apply also to other places where interface with RichFaces might cause similar issue)
> In the following code, generated Id for <t:inputSecret> is postfixed with j_id_2, which prevents <t:EqualValidator> from working properly.
> This issue is similar to an RichFaces-internal bug, already fixed: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-1499
> code:
> <a4j:region id="changePasswordModalDialogCompositionRegion">
> <rich:modalPanel id="changePasswordModalPanel" autosized="true" zindex="2000" width="600" height="400" showWhenRendered="true">

> </rich:modalPanel>
> </a4j:region>
> Note: workaround - use forceId to disable postfixing - does not work. in this case, the error would be:
> javax.faces.FacesException - Unable to find component 'passwordInput' (calling findComponent on component repeatPassswordInputj_id_2')
> The Richfaces postfixing still applies; Firebug shows: <input id="passwordInputj_id_2" type="password" name="passwordInputj_id_2"/>
> BTW postfixing, as far as I understood, originates from the JSF spec, and thus should not be disabled.
> Currently this issue forces me to re-write the EqualValidator component.
