The components of primefaces have the label attribute. But by default when we are going to create a component like autoComplete we first use outputLabel and make the association through for . As in the example:
<p:outputLabel value="Min Length (3):" for="acMinLength" />
<p:autoComplete id="acMinLength" minQueryLength="3" value="#{autoCompleteView.txt2}" completeMethod="#{autoCompleteView.completeText}" effect="fade" />
Does this association of for replace label or does it have some utility that the association does not cover?
