Hi,

I am facing a gap for that I could not find a workaround. Perhaps you can help me.

FacesPage.getFormById(String id) can only find a form that is on the current JSF page, since it looks for the children of the current page.

for (UIComponent each : component.getChildren()) { ...

This looks reasonable, but we have now the problem that the <h:form tag is within the template page, not on the actual JSF page.

Example:
page.xhtml contains some input fields (but no form) and uses template.xhtml as template file that contains the form with id "testForm".

In my test class I figured out the following:

Works fine and returns the HtmlForm:
facesPage.getComponentWithId("testForm").getWrappedComponent();

Does not work and brings up a AssertionError("HtmlForm 'testForm' does not exist on page."):
facesPage.getFormById("testForm");

How can I submit the form without using the FacesForm? Or would it be possible to use the facesPage.getComponentWithId() method instead of parsing the children tree at getFormById() ? This should fix my issue, right?

Thanks and regards,
Ingo

	Let me see if I can duplicate the scenario, then see if we can find a solution we both like. Thanks for the report (BTW, could you file an issue -- defect or enhancement is fine -- for this?)

	Thank you, Jason. I filed an "improvement". Let me know if I can provide any further information on that. At the end of the day I would like to have the possibility to access a form of the page's template page.
