setting value for ID attribute dynamically for rich:modalpanel (for templating overlay)

[srinivas srini]

I have to pass value for id for a rich:modalPanel dynamically , as of now i am passing it as <ui:param.../> but that is not working.
My requirement is that I should have a overlay template with a specified dimensions and the body(content) of the overlay will change depending on different pages , I do not want to repeat the overlay code in all pages execpt the overlay content part. The code for template part of overlay and the implementation of template is here below. It would be great if you could suggest me a solution on this or any other alternative approach.

Thanks in advance


Template.jspx

<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
	xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
	xmlns:ju="http://mycomp/jsfutilities-jsf1.1"
	xmlns:id="http://mycomp/jsfutilities" xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"
	xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j" xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" version="2.0">

		<f:subview>
			<rich:modalPanel autosized="true" id="#{myid}"  height="500" width="200" >
				<f:facet name="header">
					<div><h:outputText value="#{mytitle}" /></div>
				</f:facet>
				<table  >
					<tr>
						<td>
                                                     <ui:insert name="contentpart" />
						</td>
					</tr>
				</table>
			</rich:modalPanel>
		</f:subview>
</jsp:root>

using the above template here in myoverlay.jspx

<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"

		<a4j:loadBundle basename="myproperties" var="bundle"/>
		<ui:decorate template="Template.jspx">
			<ui:param name="myid" value="test" />
			<ui:param name="mytitle" value="flightdetail" />
			<ui:define name="contentpart">
			<a4j:form>
				<table  >
				<tr>
					<td>
					..............
					</td>
				</tr>
			</table> 
			</a4j:form>
			</ui:define>
		</ui:decorate>
</jsp:root>

I've done this, but I used the ui:include tag, not ui:decorate.

In fact, I've even done things like this:

        <h:outputLink value="#" id="link#{name}"
            styleClass="blueText"
        >
