Description

There is a proposal from PrimeFaces guys to include a search expression api to locate components in cases like f:ajax execute/render attributes, h:message for attribute and others.

The idea comes from here:

http://blog.primefaces.org/?p=2740

The idea is support a syntax like this in the attributes:

<clientId>
:<id>
<id>:<id>:<id>
@<keyword>:<id>
id:@<keyword>
@<keyword>(<param1>)
@<keyword>(<param1>,<param2>)

There is a patch for this I have been working over the last weeks, but still require more tests and update the components in MyFaces Core 2.3 to use the new API.
