How to give the h:selectManyCheckbox a fixed name attribute?

Question

I have a <h:selectManyCheckbox> and they have in the HTML source an autogenerated name attribute. I need to give it a fixed name attribute. How can I do that?

Here's what I am using for now:

<h:selectManyCheckbox value="#{tab.values}" layout="pageDirection">
    <f:selectItems value="#{tab.checkBoxes}" />
</h:selectManyCheckbox>

Answer 1

Specify the id attribute:

<h:selectManyCheckbox id="someName" value="#{tab.values}" layout="pageDirection">
