public abstract class Renderer extends Object
A Renderer converts the internal representation of
UIComponent
s into the output stream (or writer) associated with the response we are creating for a particular
request. Each Renderer
knows how to render one or more UIComponent
types (or classes), and
advertises a set of render-dependent attributes that it recognizes for each supported UIComponent
.
Families of Renderer
s are packaged as a RenderKit
, and together support the rendering of all of the
UIComponent
s in a view associated with a FacesContext
. Within the set of Renderer
s for a
particular RenderKit
, each must be uniquely identified by the rendererType
property.
Individual Renderer
instances will be instantiated as requested during the rendering process, and will remain
in existence for the remainder of the lifetime of a web application. Because each instance may be invoked from more
than one request processing thread simultaneously, they MUST be programmed in a thread-safe manner.
If the ListenerFor
annotation is attached to the class definition of a
Renderer
, that class must also implement ComponentSystemEventListener
, and
the action pertaining to the processing of ResourceDependency
on a Renderer
described in
ListenerFor
must be taken.
If the ResourceDependency
annotation is attached to the class definition of a
Renderer
, the action pertaining to the processing of ResourceDependency
on a
Renderer
described in UIComponent.getChildren()
must be taken.

decode
Decode any new state of the specified
UIComponent
from the request contained in the specifiedFacesContext
, and store that state on theUIComponent
.During decoding, events may be enqueued for later processing (by event listeners that have registered an interest), by calling
queueEvent()
on the associatedUIComponent
.- Parameters:
context
-FacesContext
for the request we are processingcomponent
-UIComponent
to be decoded.- Throws:
NullPointerException
- ifcontext
orcomponent
isnull
-
encodeBegin
Render the beginning specified
UIComponent
to the output stream or writer associated with the response we are creating. If the conversion attempted in a previous call togetConvertedValue()
for this component failed, the state information saved during execution ofdecode()
should be used to reproduce the incorrect input.- Parameters:
context
-FacesContext
for the request we are processingcomponent
-UIComponent
to be rendered- Throws:
IOException
- if an input/output error occurs while renderingNullPointerException
- ifcontext
orcomponent
is null
-
encodeChildren
Render the child components of this
UIComponent
, following the rules described forencodeBegin()
to acquire the appropriate value to be rendered. This method will only be called if therendersChildren
property of this component istrue
.- Parameters:
context
-FacesContext
for the response we are creatingcomponent
-UIComponent
whose children are to be rendered- Throws:
IOException
- if an input/output error occurs while renderingNullPointerException
- ifcontext
orcomponent
isnull
-
encodeEnd
Render the ending of the current state of the specified
UIComponent
, following the rules described forencodeBegin()
to acquire the appropriate value to be rendered.- Parameters:
context
-FacesContext
for the response we are creatingcomponent
-UIComponent
to be rendered- Throws:
IOException
- if an input/output error occurs while renderingNullPointerException
- ifcontext
orcomponent
isnull
-
convertClientId
Convert the component generated client id to a form suitable for transmission to the client.
The default implementation returns the argument
clientId
unchanged.- Parameters:
context
-FacesContext
for the current requestclientId
- the client identifier to be converted to client a specific format.- Returns:
- the converted
clientId
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- ifcontext
orclientId
isnull
-
getRendersChildren
public boolean getRendersChildren()Return a flag indicating whether this
Renderer
is responsible for rendering the children the component it is asked to render. The default implementation returnsfalse
.- Returns:
- the current value of the flag
-
getConvertedValue
public Object getConvertedValue(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object submittedValue) throws ConverterExceptionAttempt to convert previously stored state information into an object of the type required for this component (optionally using the registered
Converter
for this component, if there is one). If conversion is successful, the new value should be returned from this method; if not, aConverterException
should be thrown.- Parameters:
context
-FacesContext
for the request we are processingcomponent
-UIComponent
to be decoded.submittedValue
- a value stored on the component duringdecode
.- Returns:
- the converted value
- Throws:
ConverterException
- if the submitted value cannot be converted successfully.NullPointerException
- ifcontext
orcomponent
isnull
