```
java.lang.String getPrefix()
```
    Returns the component prefix.
    When nested components are used, a Component object exists for each unique prefix. For example, if component COMP1 is inserted into component COMP2 which in turn is inserted into a form, two Component objects will exist with prefixes something like:
    - ACOMP1__BCOMP2
    - ACOMP1
    The Component object with prefix ACOMP1__BCOMP2 contains only the elements in component COMP2, whereas the Component object with prefix ACOMP1 contains all the elements in component COMP1 including those from COMP2.
