publishEvent

public void publishEvent(FacesContext context,
 Class<? extends SystemEvent> systemEventClass,
 Object source)

Description copied from class: Application

If FacesContext.isProcessingEvents() is true and there are one or more listeners for events of the type represented by systemEventClass, call those listeners, passing source as the source of the event. The implementation should be as fast as possible in determining whether or not a listener for the given systemEventClass and source has been installed, and should return immediately once such a determination has been made. The implementation of publishEvent must honor the requirements stated in Application.subscribeToEvent(java.lang.Class<? extends jakarta.faces.event.SystemEvent>, java.lang.Class<?>, jakarta.faces.event.SystemEventListener) regarding the storage and retrieval of listener instances. Specifically, if Application.subscribeToEvent(Class,Class,SystemEventListener) was called, the sourceClass argument must match exactly the Class of the source argument in the call to publishEvent(). The implementation must not do any inheritance hierarachy inspection when looking for a match between the sourceClass passed to Application.subscribeToEvent(Class,Class,SystemEventListener) and the sourceClass passed to publishEvent() in order to find any listeners to which the event should be published. In the case where the Class of the source argument does not match the Class of the sourceClass used when the listener was subscribed using subscribeToEvent(), Application.publishEvent(FacesContext,Class,Class,Object) can be used to provide the Class used to perform the listener lookup and match.

The default implementation must implement an algorithm semantically equivalent to the following to locate listener instances and to invoke them.

• If the source argument implements SystemEventListenerHolder, call SystemEventListenerHolder.getListenersForEventClass(java.lang.Class<? extends jakarta.faces.event.SystemEvent>) on it, passing the systemEventClass argument. If the list is not empty, perform algorithm traverseListenerList on the list.

• If any view level listeners have been installed by previous calls to Application.subscribeToEvent(Class, Class, jakarta.faces.event.SystemEventListener) on the UIViewRoot, perform algorithm traverseListenerList on the list of listeners for that event installed on the UIViewRoot.

• If any Application level listeners have been installed by previous calls to Application.subscribeToEvent(Class, Class, jakarta.faces.event.SystemEventListener), perform algorithm traverseListenerList on the list.

• If any Application level listeners have been installed by previous calls to Application.subscribeToEvent(Class, jakarta.faces.event.SystemEventListener), perform algorithm traverseListenerList on the list.

If the act of invoking the processListener method causes an AbortProcessingException to be thrown, processing of the listeners must be aborted, no further processing of the listeners for this event must take place, and the exception must be logged with Level.SEVERE.

Algorithm traverseListenerList: For each listener in the list,

• Call SystemEventListener.isListenerForSource(java.lang.Object), passing the source argument. If this returns false, take no action on the listener.

• Otherwise, if the event to be passed to the listener instances has not yet been constructed, construct the event, passing source as the argument to the one-argument constructor that takes an Object. This same event instance must be passed to all listener instances.

• Call SystemEvent.isAppropriateListener(jakarta.faces.event.FacesListener), passing the listener instance as the argument. If this returns false, take no action on the listener.

• Call SystemEvent.processListener(jakarta.faces.event.FacesListener), passing the listener instance.

.

Overrides:

publishEvent in class Application

Parameters:

context - the FacesContext for the current request

subscribeToEvent

public void subscribeToEvent(Class<? extends SystemEvent> systemEventClass,
 Class<?> sourceClass,
 SystemEventListener listener)

Description copied from class: Application

Install the listener instance referenced by argument listener into the application as a listener for events of type systemEventClass that originate from objects of type sourceClass.

If argument sourceClass is non-null, sourceClass and systemEventClass must be used to store the argument listener in the application in such a way that the listener can be quickly looked up by the implementation of Application.publishEvent(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Class<? extends jakarta.faces.event.SystemEvent>, java.lang.Object) given systemEventClass and an instance of the Class referenced by sourceClass. If argument sourceClass is null, the listener must be discoverable by the implementation of Application.publishEvent(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Class<? extends jakarta.faces.event.SystemEvent>, java.lang.Object) given only systemEventClass.

It is valid to call this method during the processing of an event which was subscribed to by a previous call to this method.

Description copied from class: Application

Instantiate and return a new UIComponent instance of the class specified by a previous call to addComponent() for the specified component type.

Before the component instance is returned, it must be inspected for the presence of a ListenerFor (or ListenersFor) or ResourceDependency (or ResourceDependencies) annotation. If any of these annotations are present, the action listed in ListenerFor or ResourceDependency must be taken on the component, before it is returned from this method. This variant of createComponent must not inspect the Renderer for the component to be returned for any of the afore mentioned annotations. Such inspection is the province of Application.createComponent(ValueExpression, FacesContext, String, String) or Application.createComponent(FacesContext, String, String).

Specified by:

createComponent in class Application

Parameters:

componentType - The component type for which to create and return a new UIComponent instance

 String componentType)
                            throws FacesException

Description copied from class: Application

Call the getValue() method on the specified ValueExpression. If it returns a UIComponent instance, return it as the value of this method. If it does not, instantiate a new UIComponent instance of the specified component type, pass the new component to the setValue() method of the specified ValueExpression, and return it.

Before the component instance is returned, it must be inspected for the presence of a ListenerFor (or ListenersFor) or ResourceDependency (or ResourceDependencies) annotation. If any of these annotations are present, the action listed in ListenerFor or ResourceDependency must be taken on the component, before it is returned from this method. This variant of createComponent must not inspect the Renderer for the component to be returned for any of the afore mentioned annotations. Such inspection is the province of Application.createComponent(ValueExpression, FacesContext, String, String) or Application.createComponent(FacesContext, String, String).

Description copied from class: Application

Like Application.createComponent(String) except the Renderer for the component to be returned must be inspected for the annotations mentioned in Application.createComponent(ValueExpression, FacesContext, String) as specified in the documentation for that method. The Renderer instance to inspect must be obtained by calling FacesContext.getRenderKit() and calling RenderKit.getRenderer(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) on the result, passing the argument componentType as the first argument and the result of calling UIComponent.getFamily() on the newly created component as the second argument. If no such Renderer can be found, a message must be logged with a helpful error message. Otherwise, UIComponent.setRendererType(java.lang.String) must be called on the newly created UIComponent instance, passing the argument rendererType as the argument.

A default implementation is provided that throws UnsupportedOperationException so that users that decorate Application can continue to function

.

Overrides:

createComponent in class Application

the UI component.

createComponent

public UIComponent createComponent(FacesContext context,
 Resource componentResource)
                            throws FacesException

Description copied from class: Application

Instantiate and return a new UIComponent instance from the argument Resource. An algorithm semantically equivalent to the following must be followed to instantiate the UIComponent to return.

• Obtain a reference to the ViewDeclarationLanguage for this Application instance by calling ViewHandler.getViewDeclarationLanguage(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String), passing the viewId found by calling UIViewRoot.getViewId() on the UIViewRoot in the argument FacesContext.

• Obtain a reference to the composite component metadata for this composite component by calling ViewDeclarationLanguage.getComponentMetadata(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, jakarta.faces.application.Resource), passing the facesContext and componentResource arguments to this method. This version of the Jakarta Faces Specification uses JavaBeans as the API to the component metadata.

• Determine if the component author declared a componentType for this component instance by obtaining the BeanDescriptor from the component metadata and calling its getValue() method, passing UIComponent.COMPOSITE_COMPONENT_TYPE_KEY as the argument. If non-null, the result must be a ValueExpression whose value is the component-type of the UIComponent to be created for this Resource component. Call through to Application.createComponent(java.lang.String) to create the component.

• Otherwise, determine if a script based component for this Resource can be found by calling ViewDeclarationLanguage.getScriptComponentResource(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, jakarta.faces.application.Resource). If the result is non-null, and is a script written in a language satisfying the content type text/javascript, create a UIComponent instance from the script resource.

• Otherwise, let library-name be the return from calling Resource.getLibraryName() on the argument componentResource and resource-name be the return from calling Resource.getResourceName() on the argument componentResource. Create a fully qualified Java class name by removing any file extension from resource-name and let fqcn be library-name + "." + resource-name. If a class with the name of fqcn cannot be found, take no action and continue to the next step. If any of InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, or ClassCastException are thrown, wrap the exception in a FacesException and re-throw it. If any other exception is thrown, log the exception and continue to the next step.

• If none of the previous steps have yielded a UIComponent instance, call Application.createComponent(java.lang.String) passing "jakarta.faces.NamingContainer" as the argument.

• Call UIComponent.setRendererType(java.lang.String) on the UIComponent instance, passing "jakarta.faces.Composite" as the argument.

• Store the argument Resource in the attributes Map of the UIComponent under the key, Resource.COMPONENT_RESOURCE_KEY.

• Store composite component metadata in the attributes Map of the UIComponent under the key, UIComponent.BEANINFO_KEY.

Before the component instance is returned, it must be inspected for the presence of a ListenerFor annotation. If this annotation is present, the action listed in ListenerFor must be taken on the component, before it is returned from this method.

A default implementation is provided that throws UnsupportedOperationException so that users that decorate Application can continue to function.

Overrides:

createComponent in class Application

Parameters:

context - FacesContext for the current request

componentResource - A Resource that points to a source file that provides an implementation of a component.

Returns:

the UI component.

Throws:

FacesException - if a UIComponent from the Resource cannot be created

If the ResourceDependency annotation is present, the action described in ResourceDependency must be taken. If the ResourceDependency annotation is not present, the argument converter must be inspected for the presence of the ResourceDependencies annotation. If the ResourceDependencies annotation is present, the action described in ResourceDependencies must be taken.

Specified by:

createConverter in class Application

Parameters:

converterId - The converter id for which to create and return a new Converter instance

Returns:

createConverter

public Converter<?> createConverter(Class<?> targetClass)

Description copied from class: Application

Instantiate and return a new Converter instance of the class that has registered itself as capable of performing conversions for objects of the specified type. If no such Converter class can be identified, return null.

To locate an appropriate Converter class, the following algorithm is performed, stopping as soon as an appropriate Converter class is found:

• Locate a Converter registered for the target class itself.
• Locate a Converter registered for interfaces that are implemented by the target class (directly or indirectly).
• Locate a Converter registered for the superclass (if any) of the target class, recursively working up the inheritance hierarchy.

If the Converter has a single argument constructor that accepts a Class, instantiate the Converter using that constructor, passing the argument targetClass as the sole argument. Otherwise, simply use the zero-argument constructor.

If the toLowerCase() of the String represenation of the value of the "jakarta.faces.DATETIMECONVERTER_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE_IS_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE" application configuration parameter is "true" (without the quotes) and the Converter instance to be returned is an instance of DateTimeConverter, DateTimeConverter.setTimeZone(java.util.TimeZone) must be called, passing the return from TimeZone.getDefault().

Description copied from class: Application

Return the project stage for the currently running application instance. The default value is ProjectStage.Production

The implementation of this method must perform the following algorithm or an equivalent with the same end result to determine the value to return.

If the value has already been determined by a previous call to this method, simply return that value.

Look for a JNDI environment entry under the key given by the value of ProjectStage.PROJECT_STAGE_JNDI_NAME (return type of java.lang.String). If found, continue with the algorithm below, otherwise, look for an entry in the initParamMap of the ExternalContext from the current FacesContext with the key given by the value of ProjectStage.PROJECT_STAGE_PARAM_NAME

If a value is found, see if an enum constant can be obtained by calling ProjectStage.valueOf(), passing the value from the initParamMap. If this succeeds without exception, save the value and return it.

If not found, or any of the previous attempts to discover the enum constant value have failed, log a descriptive error message, assign the value as ProjectStage.Production and return it.
