What I usually do is use an xpath expression in selenium, something along the
lines of:
assertEquals("xyz",s.getValue(field("id")));
public static String field(String id) {
return String.format("xpath=(//input[starts-with(@id,'%s')] |
//select[starts-with(@id,'%s')] | //textarea[starts-with(@id,'%s')]", id, id,
id);
}
You have to be a little careful if you have a complex component that renders
multiple fields with related ids, but on the whole, it works nicely.
