Bug in RowGroup component

[Ramon Casha]

There is a bug in the RowGroup component (already filed as bug #1315).

In the invokeOnComponent method, it assumes that any content of a column has a rowId encoded in its clientId. However, header and footer facets do not. I created a footer facet because I'm using ajax to update it with a total of the fields in the table cells.

I have temporarily gone around this by overriding that method in my own subclass. My question is, what is the safest method to check whether a clientId has a rowId in it. (eg: is the rowId always numeric?)

For Woodstock it is an int, but it doesn't have to be. You might want to check if the component is included in the facet map, first. For example, if you know the name of the facet, you can use:

UIComponent facet = getFacet("FacetName");
if (facet != null) {
    // Skip row id
}

Otherwise, you might have to iterate over the facet map and look for a match? I have not looked into the issue myself.
