024 /**
025 * An implementation of Tapestry {@link IBinding} that simplifies
026 * access to a component's clientId.<br/>
027 * You can use this binding in order to safely find out the
028 * client-side id that was (or will be) generated for a given
029 * component.
030 *
031 * <p/>
032 * Here's an example of how to get the client id of a Tapestry component:
033 * <code>
034 * <span jwcid="@Any" dojoType="myDojoComponent" contentId="clientId:content" />
035 * </code>
036 * <p/>
037 * The previous code can also be written using the ognl binding:
038 * <code>
039 * <span jwcid="@Any" dojoType="myDojoComponent" contentId="ognl:components.content.clientId" />
040 * </code>
041 * but the clientId binding is more compact and performs much faster.
