So you would want to set an ID yourself, or that Vaadin set them for you?

You can set ID’s yourself using the setDebugId method for each component instance. Do note, that each ID should be unique for each individual component instance.

Yes through vaadin. So the debugId is what I need, but the word debug in it would tell to not use that in production no?

The naming does imply that it wouldn’t work in production mode, but IIRC the id should be usable then as well.

We can use the id which set with setDebugId() method in production mode also.
I opened a ticket about that (http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/7867), and response is i can use those ids in production mode also.
Then i made a small demo application and i saw the ids were there in production mode :)

The old setDebugId(id) method was deprecated since Vaadin 7.0.

You can use the setId(id) method.

The new method name "setId" is better than old name "setDebugId", because it is not only working in DEBUG mode, but also in PRODUCTION mode.
