Using setTransient(true) to correct Duplicate Component Id

[Chris Voge]

Hello,

I'm using the setTransient(true) inside a phaselistener to correct
a duplicate Id error I've been receiving. I'm using RENDER_RESPONSE
for the Phase Id.

I'm just wondering if this might cause additional bugs
in program flow or corrupt data being sent to the database.
I'm still fairly new to faces and was wondering if anyone
else have tried something similar to this ?

I'd appreciate some feedback.

Thank You.

Chris

Here's my code. I'm only concerned about one particular page, so
I tried to narrow my code to just that page:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
 
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.event.PhaseEvent;
import javax.faces.event.PhaseId;
import javax.faces.event.PhaseListener;
 
public class DeliveryPrefsUtil implements PhaseListener {

public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent e) 
{

}
 
public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent e) 
{
FacesContext fc = e.getFacesContext();
UIComponent comp = fc.getViewRoot();
searchComponents(comp);  
}
 
public void searchComponents( UIComponent comp)
{
    List complist = (ArrayList)comp.getChildren();
    for   (int i = 0; i < complist.size(); i++) 
    {
      UIComponent uicom = (UIComponent) complist.get(i);
      if(uicom.getId().equals("deliveryPreferencesForm"))
      {
      comp.setTransient(true);
      }
      else
      {
      searchComponents(uicom);
      }
    }
}

public PhaseId getPhaseId() {
return PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE;
}
}
