I have a list which mantains information for the ui repeat to create either drop down or text box

i would like to retieve all the components created by ui:repeat tag in the backing bean
does any one has a solution for this
This is my jsf code
<div id="homeQuoteCvg">

<ui:repeat value="#{quoteBean.homeCoverageContainer.homePolicyCoverageInfo.basicCvgInfoList}" var="cvgInfo"> <p id="personalliabilityTRbasic">
<LABEL> <SPAN style="WIDTH: 150px" class="Inline">
<h:outputText style="cursor: pointer; color: #4aa6ef;" value="#{cvgInfo.cvgDescAbbrv}"/>
</SPAN> <div id="#{cvgInfo.coverageTypeCode}" > <h:selectOneMenu title="#{cvgInfo.coverageTypeCode}" style="backgroundColor : white" value="#{cvgInfo.selectedSeqNum}"
onchange="alert();tabValueChange();"
rendered="#{cvgInfo.cvgAmtUnitCd=='05'}" >
<f:selectItems value="#{cvgInfo.coverageItemList}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:outputText name="cvgCode"
value="#{cvgInfo.selectedAmount}" rendered="#{cvgInfo.cvgAmtUnitCd=='06'}" >
</h:outputText>
</div>

Welcome to the JavaRanch, Alex!

There's a "Code" button in the message editor that helps make stuff like what you did more readable.

Rather than use ui:repeat, it looks like you should use a dataTable:

<div id="homeQuoteCvg">
<h:dataTable value="#{quoteBean.homeCoverageContainer.homePolicyCoverageInfo.basicCvgInfoList}" var="cvgInfo" columnClasses="label,ctl,msg">
   <h:outputText value="#{cvgInfo.cvgDescAbbrv}"/>
   <h:selectOneMenu title="#{cvgInfo.coverageTypeCode}" value="#{cvgInfo.selectedSeqNum}"
      onchange="alert();tabValueChange();"
      rendered="#{cvgInfo.cvgAmtUnitCd=='05'}" >
      <f:selectItems value="#{cvgInfo.coverageItemList}" />
   </h:selectOneMenu>
   <h:outputText name="cvgCode"
      value="#{cvgInfo.selectedAmount}" rendered="#{cvgInfo.cvgAmtUnitCd=='06'}"/ >
</h:dataTable>

The less raw HTML in a JSF View, the better. I usually use either a 1-column panelGrid or something like RichFaces panel control where you used div, BTW. Or, since the dataTable is itself a block element, I could have just attached the "id=" attribute to the dataTable directly.

Note also that I moved all the style info into column classes. That makes it easier to "skin" the View
