Annotation Type View

@Target({TYPE,METHOD,PARAMETER,FIELD}) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Qualifier @Documented public @interface View

The presence of this annotation on a target (type, method, parameter or field) within an application is used to indicate that this target is somehow handling a Faces View Id or Ids.

The exact way in which such view is handled depends on the annotated element in question.

      Set the Faces View Id pattern.

      The Faces View Id pattern can represent a single view, such as "/index.xhtml", or a pattern like "/foo/bar/*".

      Returns:
      the Faces View Id pattern
