How do I determine the absolute id of the organizationUnit(from /webapp/resources/acme/organizationUnit.xhtml)? When I select a node from the tree, the organizationUnit should display the selected node. I can't use a relative id because the p:ajax element is not in the same naming container with the organizationUnit component. I need to use absolute id in this case. With Firebug the id of the component is tabs:0:editorsGroup:4:editor3:accountWindowsContainer:organizationUnit. Isn't :form:tabs:editorsGroup:editor:accountWindowsContainer:organizationUnit the absolute id of the component?
EDIT1
custom:include is configured as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
