Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi everyone,

please I'm really having a serious issue on the duplicate id for a component in view.

I have a page of which I used the <jsp:include> tag to add to some pages of my application.

The page have the following code snippet in it

<%@taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>
<%@taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%>
<%@taglib prefix="a4j" uri="http://richfaces.org/a4j"%>
<%@taglib prefix="rich" uri="http://richfaces.org/rich"%>

<f:subview id="footerView">

      <table width="80%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">
	 <tr>
		<td>
			<h:outputLink id="homeLink" value="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/index.jsf"
                             rendered="#{facesContext.viewRoot.viewId != '/index.jsp'}">										
				<h:outputText value="Home |"/>						
			 </h:outputLink>
		</td>
         </tr>
      </table>

</f:subview>

The problem is that I always get this exception :

    java.lang.IllegalStateException: duplicate Id for a component footerView:homeLink
	org.ajax4jsf.application.AjaxStateManager$TreeStrutureNode.apply(AjaxStateManager.java:326)
	org.ajax4jsf.application.AjaxStateManager$TreeStrutureNode.apply(AjaxStateManager.java:348)
	org.ajax4jsf.application.AjaxStateManager$TreeStrutureNode.apply(AjaxStateManager.java:348)
	org.ajax4jsf.application.AjaxStateManager.saveSerializedView(AjaxStateManager.java:236)
        .........

This exception always occurs whenever I tried invoking an action or event call in like the ones listed
below in any of the enclosing page..
:

<h:selectOneRadio immediate="true" required="true" id="optionsRadio" value="#{myBean.optionType}" layout="lineDirection"valueChangeListener="#{eventBean.updateOptionTypeEvent}">								
	<f:selectItems value="#{listManagerBean.staticListDataMap['OPTION_TYPE']}"/> 
	<a4j:support ajaxSingle="true" ignoreDupResponses="true" immediate="true" event="onblur"/>					
 </h:selectOneRadio>

OR

 <a4j:commandButton type="submit" value="Submit Now!" action="#{bean.someAction}"/>
      .......
      <h:commandButton type="submit" value="Click Me"/>

Yet there is no other component in view with the said id "footerView:homeLink".
So I'm really at a loss on what to do.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
