findComponent

public UIComponent findComponent(String expr)

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Search for and return the UIComponent with an id that matches the specified search expression (if any), according to the algorithm described below.

WARNING: The found UIComponent instance, if any, is returned without regard for its tree traversal context. Retrieving an Jakarta Expression Language-bound attribute from the component is not safe. Jakarta Expression Language expressions can contain implicit objects, such as #{component}, which assume they are being evaluated within the scope of a tree traversal context. Evaluating expressions with these kinds of implicit objects outside of a tree traversal context produces undefined results. See UIComponent.invokeOnComponent(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String, jakarta.faces.component.ContextCallback) for a method that does correctly account for the tree traversal context when operating on the found UIComponent instance. UIComponent.invokeOnComponent(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String, jakarta.faces.component.ContextCallback) is also useful to find components given a simple clientId.

Component identifiers are required to be unique within the scope of the closest ancestor NamingContainer that encloses this component (which might be this component itself). If there are no NamingContainer components in the ancestry of this component, the root component in the tree is treated as if it were a NamingContainer, whether or not its class actually implements the NamingContainer interface.

A search expression consists of either an identifier (which is matched exactly against the id property of a UIComponent, or a series of such identifiers linked by the UINamingContainer.getSeparatorChar(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext) character value. The search algorithm should operates as follows, though alternate alogrithms may be used as long as the end result is the same:

• Identify the UIComponent that will be the base for searching, by stopping as soon as one of the following conditions is met:
  • If the search expression begins with the the separator character (called an "absolute" search expression), the base will be the root UIComponent of the component tree. The leading separator character will be stripped off, and the remainder of the search expression will be treated as a "relative" search expression as described below.
  • Otherwise, if this UIComponent is a NamingContainer it will serve as the basis.
  • Otherwise, search up the parents of this component. If a NamingContainer is encountered, it will be the base.
  • Otherwise (if no NamingContainer is encountered) the root UIComponent will be the base.
• The search expression (possibly modified in the previous step) is now a "relative" search expression that will be used to locate the component (if any) that has an id that matches, within the scope of the base component. The match is performed as follows:
  • If the search expression is a simple identifier, this value is compared to the id property, and then recursively through the facets and children of the base UIComponent (except that if a descendant NamingContainer is found, its own facets and children are not searched).
  • If the search expression includes more than one identifier separated by the separator character, the first identifier is used to locate a NamingContainer by the rules in the previous bullet point. Then, the findComponent() method of this NamingContainer will be called, passing the remainder of the search expression.

Specified by:

findComponent in class UIComponent

Parameters:

expr - Search expression identifying the UIComponent to be returned

Returns:

the found UIComponent, or null if the component was not found.

See Also:

UIComponent.findComponent(java.lang.String)

getAttributes

public Map<String,Object> getAttributes()

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Return a mutable Map representing the attributes (and properties, see below) associated wth this UIComponent, keyed by attribute name (which must be a String). The returned implementation must support all of the standard and optional Map methods, plus support the following additional requirements:

• The Map implementation must implement the java.io.Serializable interface.
• Any attempt to add a null key or value must throw a NullPointerException.
• Any attempt to add a key that is not a String must throw a ClassCastException.
• If the attribute name specified as a key matches a property of this UIComponent's implementation class, the following methods will have special behavior:
  • containsKey - Return false.
  • get() - If the property is readable, call the getter method and return the returned value (wrapping primitive values in their corresponding wrapper classes); otherwise throw IllegalArgumentException.
  • put() - If the property is writeable, call the setter method to set the corresponding value (unwrapping primitive values in their corresponding wrapper classes). If the property is not writeable, or an attempt is made to set a property of primitive type to null, throw IllegalArgumentException.
  • remove - Throw IllegalArgumentException.

Specified by:

getAttributes in class UIComponent

Returns:

the component attribute map.

See Also:

UIComponent.getAttributes()

getPassThroughAttributes

public Map<String,Object> getPassThroughAttributes(boolean create)

Description copied from class: UIComponent

This method has the same specification as UIComponent.getPassThroughAttributes() except that it is allowed to return null if and only if the argument create is false and no pass through attribute data structure exists for this instance. The returned Map implementation must support all of the standard and optional Map methods, plus support the following additional requirements. The map must be stored in using UIComponent.getStateHelper().

The Map implementation must implement java.io.Serializable.

Any attempt to add a null key or value must throw a NullPointerException.

Any attempt to add a key that is not a String must throw an IllegalArgumentException.

For backward compatibility with components that extend directly from this class, a default implementation is provided that returns the empty map.

Overrides:

getPassThroughAttributes in class UIComponent

Parameters:

create - if true, a new Map instance will be created if it does not exist already. If false, and there is no existing Map instance, one will not be created and null will be returned.

Returns:

A Map instance, or null.

getChildCount

public int getChildCount()

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Return the number of child UIComponents that are associated with this UIComponent. If there are no children, this method must return 0. The method must not cause the creation of a child component list.

Specified by:

getChildCount in class UIComponent

Returns:

the number of child components.

See Also:

UIComponent.getChildCount()

getChildren

public List<UIComponent> getChildren()

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Return a mutable List representing the child UIComponents associated with this component. The returned implementation must support all of the standard and optional List methods, plus support the following additional requirements:

• The List implementation must implement the java.io.Serializable interface.
• Any attempt to add a null must throw a NullPointerException
• Any attempt to add an object that does not implement UIComponent must throw a ClassCastException.
• Whenever a new child component is added, the parent property of the child must be set to this component instance. If the parent property of the child was already non-null, the child must first be removed from its previous parent (where it may have been either a child or a facet).
• Whenever an existing child component is removed, the parent property of the child must be set to null.

• After the child component has been added to the view, Application.publishEvent(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Class<? extends jakarta.faces.event.SystemEvent>, java.lang.Object) must be called, passing PostAddToViewEvent.class as the first argument and the newly added component as the second argument if any the following cases are true.

  • FacesContext.getCurrentPhaseId() returns PhaseId.RESTORE_VIEW and partial state saving is enabled.

  • FacesContext.isPostback() returns false and FacesContext.getCurrentPhaseId() returns something other than PhaseId.RESTORE_VIEW

Specified by:

getChildren in class UIComponent

Returns:

the list of children.

See Also:

UIComponent.getChildren()

getClientId

public String getClientId(FacesContext context)

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Return a client-side identifier for this component, generating one if necessary. The associated Renderer, if any, will be asked to convert the clientId to a form suitable for transmission to the client.

The return from this method must be the same value throughout the lifetime of the instance, unless the id property of the component is changed, or the component is placed in a NamingContainer whose client ID changes (for example, UIData). However, even in these cases, consecutive calls to this method must always return the same value. The implementation must follow these steps in determining the clientId:

Find the closest ancestor to this component in the view hierarchy that implements NamingContainer. Call getContainerClientId() on it and save the result as the parentId local variable. Call UIComponent.getId() on this component and save the result as the myId local variable. If myId is null, call context.getViewRoot().createUniqueId() and assign the result to myId. If parentId is non-null, let myId equal parentId + UINamingContainer.getSeparatorChar(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext) + myId. Call Renderer.convertClientId(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String), passing myId, and return the result.

Specified by:

getClientId in class UIComponent

context - The FacesContext for the current request

Returns:

the client id.

getFacets

public Map<String,UIComponent> getFacets()

Description copied from class: UIComponent

• The Map implementation must implement the java.io.Serializable interface.
• Any attempt to add a null key or value must throw a NullPointerException.
• Any attempt to add a key that is not a String must throw a ClassCastException.
• Any attempt to add a value that is not a UIComponent must throw a ClassCastException.

getRendersChildren

public boolean getRendersChildren()

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Return a flag indicating whether this component is responsible for rendering its child components. The default implementation in UIComponentBase.getRendersChildren() tries to find the renderer for this component. If it does, it calls Renderer.getRendersChildren() and returns the result. If it doesn't, it returns false. As of version 1.2 of the Jakarta Server Faces Specification, component authors are encouraged to return true from this method and rely on UIComponentBase.encodeChildren(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext).

Specified by:

getRendersChildren in class UIComponent

Returns:

true if the component renders its children, false otherwise.

See Also:

UIComponent.getRendersChildren()

getValueBinding

@Deprecated public ValueBinding getValueBinding(String name)

If the result is an instance of the wrapper class mandated in UIComponent.setValueBinding(java.lang.String, jakarta.faces.el.ValueBinding), extract the ValueBinding instance and return it. Otherwise, wrap the result in an implementation of ValueBinding, and return it.

Specified by:

getValueBinding in class UIComponent

See Also:

UIComponent.getValueBinding(java.lang.String)

getValueExpression

public jakarta.el.ValueExpression getValueExpression(String name)

Description copied from class: UIComponent

This method must be overridden and implemented for components that comply with Jakarta Server Faces 1.2 and later.

Overrides:

getValueExpression in class UIComponent

Parameters:

name - Name of the attribute or property for which to retrieve a ValueExpression

Returns:

the value expression, or null.

See Also:

UIComponent.getValueExpression(java.lang.String)

invokeOnComponent

public boolean invokeOnComponent(FacesContext context, String clientId, ContextCallback callback) throws FacesException

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Starting at this component in the View hierarchy, search for a component with a clientId equal to the argument clientId and, if found, call the ContextCallback.invokeContextCallback(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent) method on the argument callback, passing the current FacesContext and the found component as arguments. This method is similar to UIComponent.findComponent(java.lang.String) but it does not support the leading UINamingContainer.getSeparatorChar(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext) syntax for searching from the root of the View.

The default implementation will first check if this.getClientId() is equal to the argument clientId. If so, first call UIComponent.pushComponentToEL(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent), then call the ContextCallback.invokeContextCallback(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent) method on the argument callback, passing through the FacesContext argument and passing this as the component argument. Then call UIComponent.popComponentFromEL(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext). If an Exception is thrown by the callback, wrap it in a FacesException and re-throw it. Otherwise, return true.

Otherwise, for each component returned by UIComponent.getFacetsAndChildren(), call invokeOnComponent() passing the arguments to this method, in order. The first time invokeOnComponent() returns true, abort traversing the rest of the Iterator and return true.

When calling ContextCallback.invokeContextCallback(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent) the implementation of this method must guarantee that the state of the component passed to the callback correctly reflects the component's position in the View hierarchy with respect to any state found in the argument clientId. For example, an iterating component such as UIData will need to set its row index to correctly reflect the argument clientId before finding the appropriate child component backed by the correct row. When the callback returns, either normally or by throwing an Exception the implementation of this method must restore the state of the view to the way it was before invoking the callback.

If none of the elements from UIComponent.getFacetsAndChildren() returned true from invokeOnComponent(), return false.

Simple usage example to find a component by clientId.

 
    private UIComponent found = null;

    private void doFind(FacesContext context, String clientId) {
      context.getViewRoot().invokeOnComponent(context, clientId,
          new ContextCallback() {
             public void invokeContextCallback(FacesContext context,
                                           UIComponent component) {
               found = component;
             }
          });
    }
 
 

Overrides:

invokeOnComponent in class UIComponent

Parameters:

context - the FacesContext for the current request

clientId - the client identifier of the component to be passed to the argument callback.

callback - an implementation of the Callback interface.

restoreState

public void restoreState(FacesContext context, Object state)

Description copied from interface: StateHolder

Perform any processing required to restore the state from the entries in the state Object.

If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that also implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.restoreState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object) method on all those instances as well.

If the state argument is null, take no action and return.

Specified by:

restoreState in interface StateHolder

Parameters:

context - the Faces context.

state - the state.

See Also:

StateHolder.restoreState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object)

saveState

public Object saveState(FacesContext context)

Description copied from interface: StateHolder

Gets the state of the instance as a Serializable Object.

If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.saveState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext) method on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is done via the StateManager

This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code:

 
 Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);
 
 

component should be the same as before executing it.

The return from this method must be Serializable

Specified by:

saveState in interface StateHolder

Parameters:

context - the Faces context.

Returns:

the saved state.

See Also:

StateHolder.saveState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext)

setId

public void setId(String id)

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Set the component identifier of this UIComponent (if any). Component identifiers must obey the following syntax restrictions:

• Must not be a zero-length String.
• First character must be a letter or an underscore ('_').
• Subsequent characters must be a letter, a digit, an underscore ('_'), or a dash ('-').

Component identifiers must also obey the following semantic restrictions (note that this restriction is NOT enforced by the setId() implementation):

• The specified identifier must be unique among all the components (including facets) that are descendents of the nearest ancestor UIComponent that is a NamingContainer, or within the scope of the entire component tree if there is no such ancestor that is a NamingContainer.

Specified by:

setId in class UIComponent

Parameters:

id - The new component identifier, or null to indicate that this UIComponent does not have a component identifier

See Also:

UIComponent.setId(java.lang.String)

setParent

public void setParent(UIComponent parent)

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Set the parent UIComponent of this UIComponent. If parent.isInView() returns true, calling this method will first cause a PreRemoveFromViewEvent to be published, for this node, and then the children of this node. Then, once the re-parenting has occurred, a PostAddToViewEvent will be published as well, first for this node, and then for the node's children, but only if any of the following conditions are true.

• FacesContext.getCurrentPhaseId() returns PhaseId.RESTORE_VIEW and partial state saving is enabled.

• FacesContext.isPostback() returns false and FacesContext.getCurrentPhaseId() returns something other than PhaseId.RESTORE_VIEW

This method must never be called by developers; a UIComponent's internal implementation will call it as components are added to or removed from a parent's child List or facet Map.

Specified by:

setParent in class UIComponent

Parameters:

parent - The new parent, or null for the root node of a component tree

See Also:

UIComponent.setParent(jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent)

setValueBinding

@Deprecated public void setValueBinding(String name, ValueBinding binding)

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Wrap the argument binding in an implementation of ValueExpression and call through to UIComponent.setValueExpression(java.lang.String, jakarta.el.ValueExpression).

Specified by:

setValueBinding in class UIComponent

Parameters:

name - Name of the attribute or property for which to set a ValueBinding

binding - The ValueBinding to set, or null to remove any currently set ValueBinding

See Also:

UIComponent.setValueBinding(java.lang.String, jakarta.faces.el.ValueBinding)

setValueExpression

public void setValueExpression(String name, jakarta.el.ValueExpression binding)

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Set the ValueExpression used to calculate the value for the specified attribute or property name, if any.

The implementation must call Expression.isLiteralText() on the argument expression. If isLiteralText() returns true, invoke ValueExpression.getValue(jakarta.el.ELContext) on the argument expression and pass the result as the value parameter in a call to this.UIComponent.getAttributes().put(name, value) where name is the argument name. If an exception is thrown as a result of calling ValueExpression.getValue(jakarta.el.ELContext), wrap it in a FacesException and re-throw it. If isLiteralText() returns false, simply store the un-evaluated expression argument in the collection of ValueExpressions under the key given by the argument name.

This method must be overridden and implemented for components that comply with Jakarta Server Faces 1.2 and later.

Overrides:

setValueExpression in class UIComponent

Parameters:

name - Name of the attribute or property for which to set a ValueExpression

binding - The ValueExpression to set, or null to remove any currently set ValueExpression

See Also:

UIComponent.setValueExpression(java.lang.String, jakarta.el.ValueExpression)

subscribeToEvent

public void subscribeToEvent(Class<? extends SystemEvent> eventClass, ComponentSystemEventListener componentListener)

Description copied from class: UIComponent

This implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException and is provided for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend this class. UIComponentBase provides the implementation of this method.

Overrides:

subscribeToEvent in class UIComponent

Parameters:

eventClass - the event class.

componentListener - the listener.

See Also:

UIComponent.subscribeToEvent(java.lang.Class, jakarta.faces.event.ComponentSystemEventListener)

unsubscribeFromEvent

public void unsubscribeFromEvent(Class<? extends SystemEvent> eventClass, ComponentSystemEventListener componentListener)

Description copied from class: UIComponent

This implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException and is provided for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend this class. UIComponentBase provides the implementation of this method.

Overrides:

unsubscribeFromEvent in class UIComponent

Parameters:

eventClass - the event class.

componentListener - the component listener.

See Also:

UIComponent.unsubscribeFromEvent(java.lang.Class, jakarta.faces.event.ComponentSystemEventListener)

visitTree

public boolean visitTree(VisitContext context, VisitCallback callback)

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Perform a tree visit starting at this node in the tree.

UIComponent.visitTree() implementations do not invoke the VisitCallback directly, but instead call VisitContext.invokeVisitCallback(jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent, jakarta.faces.component.visit.VisitCallback) to invoke the callback. This allows VisitContext implementations to provide optimized tree traversals, for example by only calling the VisitCallback for a subset of components.

UIComponent.visitTree() implementations must call UIComponent.pushComponentToEL() before performing the visit and UIComponent.popComponentFromEL() after the visit.

Overrides:

visitTree in class UIComponent

Parameters:

context - the VisitContext for this visit

callback - the VisitCallback instance whose visit method will be called for each node visited.

Returns:

component implementations may return true to indicate that the tree visit is complete (eg. all components that need to be visited have been visited). This results in the tree visit being short-circuited such that no more components are visited.

See Also:

UIComponent.visitTree(jakarta.faces.component.visit.VisitContext, jakarta.faces.component.visit.VisitCallback)

addFacesListener

protected void addFacesListener(FacesListener listener)

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Add the specified FacesListener to the set of listeners registered to receive event notifications from this UIComponent. It is expected that UIComponent classes acting as event sources will have corresponding typesafe APIs for registering listeners of the required type, and the implementation of those registration methods will delegate to this method. For example:

 public class FooEvent extends FacesEvent { ... }

 public interface FooListener extends FacesListener {
   public void processFoo(FooEvent event);
 }

 public class FooComponent extends UIComponentBase {
   ...
   public void addFooListener(FooListener listener) {
     addFacesListener(listener);
