getting div id value using webdriver with java

From the below HTML source I want to get the table's id value (DataTables_Table_1) under the priority section, because this id generate dynamically like (DataTables_Table_1,DataTables_Table_2,DataTables_Table_2)

<div class="box light detailsBox " id="priority" rel="Priority">
    <div class="box-content detailsBoxBody">
        <div id="DataTables_Table_1_wrapper" class="dataTables_wrapper" role="grid">
            <table class="ohim-table  dataTable" data-filter="" rel="dataTable1515477181791" id="DataTables_Table_1" aria-describedby="DataTables_Table_1_info">
            </table>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

below is my Java source code:

first I moved to priority div tag from that div, I moved inside the with class attribute

WebElement checPri = driver.findElement(By.id("priority"));
String insideDiv = checPri.findElement(By.className("dataTables_wrapper")).getAttribute("id");

I'm getting the output but not as expected one, because className applied multiple times, so its pick some other id not pick under the priority div.

Please guide me.

To retrive the table id values (e.g. DataTables_Table_1) under the priority section you can use the following line of code :

System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='priority']//table[@class='ohim-table  dataTable']")).getAttribute("id"));

You can use cssSelector to specify the the path

WebElement checPri = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#priority .dataTables_wrapper"));
String insideDiv = checPri.getAttribute("id");

Or to look for an element with class dataTables_wrapper and partial id DataTables_Table

WebElement checPri = driver.findElement(By.id("priority"));
String insideDiv = checPri.findElement(By.cssSelector("[id*='DataTables_Table'].dataTables_wrapper")).getAttribute("id");
