Tag Summary
Tag	Description
button	Render an HTML "input" element of type "button". The value of the component is rendered as the button text and the outcome of the component is used to determine the target URL which is activated by onclick. If "image" attribute is specified, render it as the value of the "src" attribute after passing it to the `getResourceURL()` method of the `ViewHandler` for this application, and passing the result through the `encodeResourceURL()` method of the `ExternalContext`. Any child `UIParameter` components are appended to the String to be used as the target URL as query parameters before rendering. The entire target URL string must be passed through a call to the `encodeResourceURL()` method of the `ExternalContext`. The name of the `UIParameter` goes on the left hand side, and the value of the `UIParameter` on the right hand side. The name and the value must be URLEncoded. Each `UIParameter` instance is separeted by an ampersand, as dictated in the URL spec. The final encoded result will be written out to the onclick attribute of the button as "window.location.href = ''". If the developer has specified a custom onlclick the window.location.href name/value pair will be appended at the end of the developer specified script. If the "fragment" attribute is specified, the value will be included at the end of the resulting URL preceded by a hash mark. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute. If the "id" attribute is specified, follow the same steps as mentioned in the "General Notes on Encoding" regarding the "id" attribute for UIInput components. If the "disabled" attribute is specified, do not render the "onclick" element and assign the "disabled" attribute a value of true.
link	Render an HTML "a" anchor element. The value of the component is rendered as the anchor text and the outcome of the component is used to determine the target URL rendered in the "href" attribute. Any child `UIParameter` components are appended to the String to be output as the value of the "href" attribute as query parameters before rendering. The entire "href" string must be passed through a call to the `encodeResourceURL()` method of the `ExternalContext`. The name of the `UIParameter` goes on the left hand side, and the value of the `UIParameter` on the right hand side. The name and the value must be URLEncoded. Each `UIParameter` instance is separated by an ampersand, as dictated in the URL spec. If the "fragment" attribute is specified, the value will be included at the end of the resulting URL preceded by a hash mark. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute. If the "id" attribute is specified, follow the same steps as mentioned in the "General Notes on Encoding" regarding the "id" attribute for UIInput components. If the "disabled" attribute is specified, do not render the HTML "a" anchor element or the "href" element. Instead, render a "span" element. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "span". Render any pass-through attributes on the "span".
head	Render the markup for a `<head>` element. Decode Behavior No action is required during decode for this renderer. Encode Behavior Render the starting `<head>` element tag. Any attributes declared on the element must be passed through unmodified to the rendered output. Just before rendering the closing `</head>` element tag, render any resources that have been targeted for this "head" element: Obtain a `UIViewRoot` instance. Obtain a `List` of component resources targeted for this "head" element with a call to `UIViewRoot.getComponentResources()` with the `String "head"` as the argument. Iterate over the returned `List` of `UIComponent` instances and call `encodeAll` on each `UIComponent` instance. Any attributes declared on the element must be passed through unmodified to the rendered output. Render the ending `</head>` element tag.
body	Render the markup for a `<body>` element. Decode Behavior No action is required during decode for this renderer. Encode Behavior Render the starting `<body>` element tag. Just before rendering the closing `</body>` element tag, render any resources that have been targeted for this "body" element: Obtain a `UIViewRoot` instance. Obtain a `List` of component resources targeted for this "body" element with a call to `UIViewRoot.getComponentResources()` with the `String "body"` as the argument. Render the ending `</body>` element tag. Iterate over the returned `List` of `UIComponent` instances and call `encodeAll` on each `UIComponent` instance. Any attributes declared on the element must be passed through unmodified to the rendered output.
commandButton	Renders an HTML "input" element. Decode Behavior Obtain the `Map` from the "requestParameterMap" property of the `ExternalContext`. If the value in the `Map` for the value of the "clientId" property of the component is `null`, create a String by concatenating the value of the "clientId" property of the component with the String ".x" (without the quotes). Create another String in the same manner, but concatenate ".y" (without the quotes). If `null` is the value in the `Map` for both Strings, return from `decode()`. If the value in the `Map` for the value of the "clientId" property of the component is not `null`, get the value of the "type" attribute, and convert it to lower case. If the result is equal to the String "reset" (without the quotes), return from `decode()`. Otherwise, create a `jakarta.faces.event.ActionEvent` around the component, and pass it to the `queueEvent()` method of the component, which must be an instance of `UICommand`. Encode Behavior Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. Render the current value of the component as the value of the "value" attribute. If "image" attribute is specified render it as the value of the "src" attribute after passing it to the `getResourceURL()` method of the `ViewHandler` for this application, and passing the result through the `encodeResourceURL()` method of the `ExternalContext`. Note that calling `getResourceURL()` will prefix the context-root of the current application if the value of the "src" attribute starts with "/". When handling the "image" attribute, the value must not be escaped. For example, `&` must not be turned into `&`. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute. If the user has specified an "onclick" attribute, append that JavaScript to any existing JavaScript before rendering. If the component being rendered by this renderer has any `UIParameter` children, each one of them must be rendered using the renderer for component-family: "jakarta.faces.Input" and renderer-type: "jakarta.faces.Hidden". For discussion, this is called the hiddenRenderer. A component with component-type "jakarta.faces.Input" must be created for local use in rendering each `UIParameter` child. The "id" property of the temporary component must be set to the "name" of the `UIParameter`. The "value" property of the temporary component must be set to the "value" of the `UIParameter`. For each `UIParameter` child, the hiddenRenderer must have its `encodeBegin()`, `encodeChildren()`, and `encodeEnd()` methods called, in order, passing the temporary component as the second argument.
commandLink	Render an HTML "a" anchor element that acts like a form submit button when clicked. General Behaviour Both the encode and decode behavior require the ability to get the id/name for a hidden field, which may be rendered in markup or which may be programmatically added via client DOM manipulation, whose value is set by the JavaScript form submit. This name must be constructed as follows: Get the clientId for the form of which this component is a child. Append `NamingContainer.SEPARATOR_CHAR`. Append a constant string that is the same for all command link components in the tree. In the following text, this String is called hiddenFieldName. Decode Behavior Obtain the "clientId" property of the component. Obtain the `Map` from the "requestParameterMap" property of the `ExternalContext`. Derive hiddenFieldName as above. Get the entry in the `Map` under the key that is the hiddenFieldName. If the there is no entry, or the entry is the empty String, or the entry is not equal to the value of the "clientId" property, return immediately. If there is an entry, and its value is equal to the value of the "clientId" property, create a new `jakarta.faces.event.ActionEvent` instance around the component and call `queueActionEvent()` on the component, passing the event. Encode Behavior If the value of the `disabled` attribute is `true`, render a span element. Render all the passthru attributes and the `target` attribute as pass-through attributes on the span, even though the `target` attribute will have no effect on a span. Render the current value of the component as the content of the span. Return. If the `disabled` attribute is not present, or its value is `false`, render an HTML `a` element. Render "#" as the value of the "href" attribute. Render the current value of the component as the link text if it is specified. Render JavaScript that is functionally equivalent to the following as the value of the "onclick" attribute: `document.forms['CLIENT_ID']['hiddenFieldName'].value='CLIENT_ID'; document.forms['CLIENT_ID']['PARAM1_NAME'].value='PARAM1_VALUE'; document.forms['CLIENT_ID']['PARAM2_NAME'].value='PARAM2_VALUE'; return false;` document.forms['CLIENT_ID'].submit()" where hiddenFieldName is as described above, CLIENT_ID is the clientId of the UICommand component, PARAM_NAME and PARAM_VALUE are the names and values, respectively, of any nested UIParameter children. The name and the value must be URLEncoded. If an "onclick" attribute was specified by the user, render this JavaScript in a function, and render the user's JavaScript in a function. Render both functions in a choice function as follows: `var a=function(){#USER_FUNCTION#}; var b=function(){#JSF_FUNCTION#}; return (a()==false) ? false : b();` where #USER_FUNCTION# is the user's JavaScript and #JSF_FUNCTION# is the JavaScript rendered by Faces. The choice function should operate such that if the user's JavaScript returns true, then the rendered JavaScript will also execute. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute. Render any non-UIParameter output children as normal inside of the "a" element. These will appear as the link text. Allow the form renderer to output a single "input" element (for the entire page, regardless of how many command link components are in the page) of "type" "hidden" whose "name" is the value of hiddenFieldName, and which must not have a "value" attribute. Multiple occurrences of command link components in the tree should not cause multiple hiddenFieldName hidden fields. Allow the form renderer to output an "input" element of "type" "hidden" for each of the nested UIParameter children, taking the name property (but not the value) from each one in turn. If the "disabled" attribute is specified, do not render the HTML "a" anchor element or its "href" attribute. Instead, render a "span" element. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "span". Render any pass-through attributes on the "span". The content of the span element comes from the value of the component or its children as specified above. If the user specified a `target` attribute, its value must be set using javascript since the `onclick` handler will prevent the target attribute from being generated. This must be accomplished using JavaScript that is equivalent to the following. `document.forms['CLIENT_ID'].target='TARGET';` Where TARGET is the value of the target attribute on the JSP tag.
commandScript	Render a JavaScript function that invokes `faces.ajax.request()` function. Encode Behavior Render an HTML `script` element. If the value of the "name" attribute does not contain a period `.` indicating a namespaced function name, then render JavaScript `var` keyword, followed by a space character. Render the value of the "name" attribute, followed by JavaScript assignment operator. Render JavaScript function which invokes `faces.ajax.request()` with data provided by `execute`, `render`, `onbegin`, `oncomplete`, `onsuccess` and `onerror` arguments, if any. If the component being rendered has any `UIParameter` children, each one of them must be encoded into `params` object of the `options` object of the `faces.ajax.request()` function. If the rendered JavaScript function is invoked with an object argument, each property must be encoded into `params` object of the `options` object of the `faces.ajax.request()` function. This will override any property with the same key. Decode Behavior Obtain the `Map` from the "requestParameterMap" property of the `ExternalContext`. If the value in the `Map` for the value of the "jakarta.faces.source" equals to the "clientId" property of the component, create a `jakarta.faces.event.ActionEvent` around the component, and pass it to the `queueEvent()` method of the component, which must be an instance of `UICommand`.
dataTable	Renders an HTML "table" element compliant with the HTML 401 specification. Render the "caption" facet, if present, inside a "caption" element immediately below the "table" element. If the "captionClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "caption" element. If the "captionStyle" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "style" attribute on the "caption" element. Please consult the javadoc for `UIData` to supplement this specification. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "table" element. Any pass-through attributes are also rendered on the "table" element. Column Groups If the `UIData` component has a "colgroups" facet, render its contents. Consistent with the rules of facets in general, this facet must have only one child. In general, this will be a `panel group` component that will contain `colgroup` and `col` elements per the HTML Table specification. Use of column grouping can improve accessibility. This facet must be rendered before the table header and footer. Rendering the header If the `UIData` component has a "header" facet, or any of the child `UIColumn` components has a "header" facet, render a "thead" element. If the `UIData` component has a "header" facet, encode its contents inside of "tr" and "th" elements, respectively. Output the value of the "headerClass" attribute of the `UIData` component, if present, as the value of the "class" attribute on the "th". Output the number of child `UIColumn` components of the `UIData` component as the value of the "colspan" attribute on the "th". Output "colgroup" as the value of the "scope" attribute on the "th" element. If any of the child `UIColumn` components has a "header" facet render a "tr" element. For each `UIColumn` that actually has a "header" facet, render it inside of a "th" element. Columns that don't have a "header" facet cause an empty "th" element to be rendered. Output the value of the "headerClass" attribute of the `UIColumn` component, if present, as the value of the "class" attribute on the "th". If the "headerClass" attribute of the `UIColumn` component is not present, output the value of the "headerClass" attribute of the `UIData` component, if present, as the value of the "class" attribute on the "th". Output "col" as the value of the "scope" attribute on the "th" element. Close out the "thead" element. Rendering the footer Follow the same process as for the header, except replace "header" with "footer", "th" with "td", "thead" with "tfoot", and "headerClass" with "footerClass". Do not render any "scope" attribute for the footer. Rendering the table body Look at the value of the "bodyrows" attribute. If present, this must be a comma separated list of integers. Each entry in this list is the row index of the row before which a "tbody" element should be rendered. If there was no "bodyrows" attribute, or it was empty, render a "tbody" element. Keep track of the result of the "rows" property on the `UIData` component. Keep track of the number of rows we have rendered so far. Iterate through the rows. Set the "rowIndex" property of the `UIData` component to be correct as we iterate through the rows. Stop rendering children and close out the "tbody" element if the "rowAvailable" property of the `UIData` returned false. If the current row index is contained in the "bodyrows" attribute, check if a "tbody" start element was rendered that needs to be closed, and if so, close the "tbody" element. Then render a "tbody" element start. Otherwise, do not render a "tbody" element. Output a "tr" element. Output the value of the "rowClasses" per the attribute description below. For each `UIColumn` child, if the column component has a "rowHeader" attribute with a value of "true", output a "th" element with a "scope" attribute with the value of "row". Otherwise, if the column component has no "rowHeader" attribute, or its value is false, output a "td" element. In either case attach the value of the "columnClasses" attribute of the `UIData` component per the attribute description below. Recursively encode each child of each `UIColumn` child. Close out the "td" or "th" element. When done with the row, close out the "tr" element. When done with all the rows, close out the "tbody" element. When done rendering all the rows, set the "rowIndex" property of the `UIData` to -1, and close out the "table" element.
form	Renders an HTML "form" element. Decode Behavior Obtain the `Map` from the "requestParameterMap" property of the `ExternalContext`. If the map contains an entry for the "clientId" of this `UIForm` component, call `setSubmitted(true)` on the form, otherwise call `setSubmitted(false)` on the form. Encode Behavior The value of the "method" attribute must be "post". The value of the "action" attribute must be the result of passing the view identifier of the current view to the `getActionURL()` method of the `ViewHandler` for this application, then passing that String to the `encodeActionURL()` method on the `ExternalContext`. The value of the acceptcharset attribute must be rendered as the value of "accept-charset". If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute. Render a "name" attribute with a value the same as the "id" attribute as described in "General Notes on Encoding" regarding the "id" attribute for UIInput components. Obtain the `UIViewRoot view identifier` and use it to obtain an `action URL` by calling `ViewHandler.getActionURL`. Use the `action URL` to obtain an `encoded action URL` by calling `ExternalContext.encodeActionURL`. Obtain an `encoded partial action URL` by calling `ExternalContext.encodePartialActionURL` using `action URL` as the argument. Compare the result from `ExternalContext.encodePartialActionURL` with the value from `ExternalContext.encodeActionURL()`. If they are different, render a hidden field with the name `jakarta.faces.encodedURL` and the value of this hidden field as the value from `ExternalContext.encodePartialActionURL`. Call `ViewHandler.writeState()` before the the close of the "form" element. Render all the necessary hidden fields for all commandLink instances in the page just before the close of the "form" element. Just before rendering the closing `</form>` element tag, render any resources that have been targeted for this form: Obtain a `UIViewRoot` instance. Obtain a `List` of component resources targeted for this form with a call to `UIViewRoot.getComponentResources()` with the `String "form"` as the argument. Iterate over the returned `List` of `UIComponent` instances and call `encodeAll` on each `UIComponent` instance.
graphicImage	Renders an HTML "img" element. Render the clientId as the value of the "id" attribute. Handling the Value If the "name" attribute is present, execute algorithm Common Algorithm for Obtaining A Resource to Render to obtain a `Resource` instance. Call `Resource.getRequestPath()` and output the result as the value of the "src" attribute on the rendered markup. Otherwise, if the "url" attribute is present, treat its value as if it was the value of the "value" attribute. Otherwise, if the "value" attribute is present, render the value of the component as the value of the "src" attribute, after passing it to the `getResourceURL()` method of the `ViewHandler` for this application, and passing the result through the `encodeResourceURL()` method of the `ExternalContext`. When handling the "src" attribute, the value must not be escaped. For example, `&` must not be turned into `&`. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute.
inputHidden	Renders an HTML "input" element of type "hidden". Decode Behavior See the decode description for the Input Text renderer. Encode Behavior Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. Render the current value of the component as the value of the "value" attribute.
inputSecret	Renders an HTML "input" element of "type" "password". Decode Behavior See the decode description for the Input Text renderer. Encode Behavior Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. Render the current value of the component as the value of the "value" attribute, if and only if the "redisplay" component attribute is the string "true". If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute.
inputText	Renders an HTML "input" element of "type" "text". Decode Behavior Obtain the `Map` from the "requestParameterMap" property of the `ExternalContext`. If the `Map` contains an entry for the "clientId" of the component, pass the value of the entry to the `setSubmittedValue()` method of the component, which must be an instance of `EditableValueHolder`. Encode Behavior Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. Render the current value of the component as the value of the "value" attribute. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute.
inputTextarea	Renders an HTML "textarea" element. Decode Behavior See the encode description for the Input Text renderer. Encode Behavior Render the clientId as the value of the "name" attribute. Render the current valu eof the component inside the "textarea" element.
message	Render a single message for a specific component. Set-up for Rendering Obtain the "summary" and "detail" properties from `UIMessage` component. If not present, keep the empty string as the value, respectively. Obtain the first `FacesMessage` to render from the component, using the "for" property of the `UIMessage`. This will be the only message we render. Obtain the severity style for this message. If the severity of the message is `FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO`, the severity style comes from the value of the "infoStyle" attribute. If the severity of the message is `FacesMessage.SEVERITY_WARN`, the severity style comes from the value of the "warnStyle" attribute, and so on for each of the severities, `INFO, WARN, ERROR` and `FATAL`. The same rules apply for obtaining the severity style class, but instead of "infoStyle, warnStyle", etc use "infoClass, warnClass", etc. Obtain the "style", "styleClass" and "layout" attributes from the `UIMessage` component. If we have a "style" attribute and a severity style attribute, use the severity style attribute as the value of the "style" attribute. If we have no "style" attribute, but do have a severity style, use the severity style as the value of the "style" attribute. The same precedence rules apply for the style class. Obtain the value of the `dir` and `lang` attributes. Rendering For the message renderer, we only render one row, for the first message. For the messages renderer, we render as many rows as we have messages. If any of the "dir", "lang", "style" or "styleClass" attributes has a non-null value (as determined above), render a "span" element, outputting the value of the "style" attribute as the the value of the "style" attribute, and outputting the value of the "styleClass" attribute as the value of the "class" attribute on the "span" element. Output the "dir" and "lang" attributes as well, if they are present. If the `UIMessage` has a "tooltip" attribute with the value of "true", and the `UIMessage` has "showSummary" and "showDetail" properties with the value "true", if we haven't already written out the "span", output the "summary" as the value of the "title" attribute on the "span". If we haven't already written out a "title" attribute, and "showSummary" is true, output the summary. If "showDetail" is true, output the detail. Close out the span if necessary.
messages	The same as for the Message renderer, but output all the messages. If an "id" attribute has been specified, it must be rendered on the outermost markup corresponding to this component. If the value of the "layout" attribute is "table", render nested "table", "tr", and "td" elements, in that order. If the value of the "layout" attribute is "list", or the "layout" attribute is not specified, render nested "ul", "li" elements, in that order. Output the value of the "style" attribute as the value of the "style" attribute, output the value of the "styleClass" attribute as the value of the "class" attribute, and output the dir and lang attributes. Output these values on the "table" element or the "ul" element. Output the values of the "errorStyle", "fatalStyle", "infoStyle", "warnStyle" attributes as the value of the "style" attribute on either the "tr" element or the "li" element. Output the values of the "errorClass", "fatalClass", "infoClass", "warnClass" attributes as the value of the "class" attribute on either the "tr" element or the "li" element. The component is a `UIMessages`, and there is no "for" attribute. Therefore, use either `null` to obtain the messages from the `FacesContext` or the empty string if the components "globalOnly" property is `true`. If the layout was "table" close out the table elements, otherwise, close out the list elements. If an h:form does not contain a h:messages tag and the ProjectStage is set to Development the runtime will automatically add h:messages for debugging purposes.
outputFormat	Render parameterized text. Obtain the `style`, `styleClass`, `dir`, and `lang` attributees from this component. If any are present, render a "span" element. Output the `styleClass` attribute (if present) as the value of the `class` attribute. Output the `style` attribute as the value of the `style` attribute. Output the `dir` and `lang` attributes as pass through attributes. Accrue a list of the values of all child `UIParameter` components of this component. If there are one or more accumulated parameter values, convert the list of parameter values to an `Object` array, call `MessageFormat.format()`, passing the `value` of this component as the first argument, and the array of parameter values as the second argument, and render the result. Otherwise, render the `value` of this component unmodified.
outputLabel	Renders an HTML "label" element. Render the current value of the component as label text if it is specified. If a "for" attribute is specified, find the component specified by the value of the "for" attribute, and render its client id as the value of the "for" attribute. If "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute.
outputLink	Render an HTML "a" anchor element. The value of the component is rendered as the value of the "href" attribute. Any child UIParameter components are appended to the String to be output as the value of the "href" attribute as query parameters before rendering. The entire "href" string must be passed through a call to the `encodeResourceURL()` method of the `ExternalContext`. The name of the UIParameter goes on the left hand side, and the value of the UIParameter on the right hand side. The name and the value must be URLEncoded. Each UIParameter instance is separeted by an ampersand, as dictated in the URL spec. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute. If the "id" attribute is specified, follow the same steps as mentioned in the "General Notes on Encoding" regarding the "id" attribute for UIInput components. If the "disabled" attribute is specified, do not render the HTML "a" anchor element or the "href" element. Instead, render a "span" element. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "span". Render any pass-through attributes on the "span".
outputStylesheet	Render the markup for a `<link>` element that renders the style `Resource` specified by the optional `name` and `library` attributes. Decode Behavior No action is required during decode for this renderer. Encode Behavior Use the algorithm Common Encode Behavior for `encodeBegin()`, `encodeChildren()` and `getRendersChildren()`. For `encodeEnd()`, use the algorithm Common Algorithm for Obtaining A Resource to Render to obtain a reference to the `Resource` to be encoded. Output a `<link>` element. Use the result from calling `resource.getRequestPath()` as the value of the "href" attribute. Use the result from calling `resource.getContentType()` as the value of the "type" attribute, unless the value equals `text/css` and the current doctype is a HTML5 doctype.. Use the literal string "stylesheet" as the value of the "rel" attribute, and the literal string "screen" as the value of the "media" attribute. The implementation of this renderer must have a `@ListenerFor` annotation attached to it, at the class level, declaring `PostAddToViewEvent.class` as the value of the `systemEventClass` attribute. The presence of this annotation on a renderer implies the renderer implements `ComponentSystemEventListener`, which this renderer must do. The implementation of `processEvent()` must extract the `UIComponent` from the argument event pass it to `UIViewRoot.addComponentResource()`, specifying the literal string "`head`" as the last argument. The stylsheet renderer must ensure that any stylesheets are included in the <head> of the document.
outputText	If the "styleClass", "style", "dir" or "lang" attributes are present, render a "span" element. If the "styleClass" attribute is present, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute. If the "style" attribute is present, pass it thru. If the "escape" attribute is not present, or it is present and its value is "true" all angle brackets should be converted to the ampersand xx semicolon syntax when rendering the value of the "value" attribute as the value of the component. If the "escape" attribute is present and is "false" the value of the component should be rendered as text without escaping.
outputScript	Render the markup for a `<script>` element that renders the script `Resource` specified by the optional `name` attribute and `library` attributes. The implementation of this renderer must have a `@ListenerFor` annotation attached to it, at the class level, declaring `PostAddToViewEvent.class` as the value of the `systemEventClass` attribute. The presence of this annotation on a renderer implies the renderer implements `ComponentSystemEventListener`, which this renderer must do. The implementation of `processEvent()` must extract the `UIComponent` from the argument event and look for the presence of the key "`target`" in the component's attribute `Map`. If and only if such a key is present, the implementation of `processEvent()` must pass the component to `UIViewRoot.addComponentResource()`. Decode Behavior No action is required during decode for this renderer. Encode Behavior Common Algorithm for Obtaining A Resource to Render This algorithm is used by all resource renderers to obtain a `Resource` instance which is then rendered in a specific way depending on what kind of renderer is doing the encoding. Look in the component attribute `Map` for a value under the key name. Look in the component attribute `Map` for a value under the key library. This attribute is optional, therefore, library may be `null`. Create the resource by calling `Application.getResourceHandler.createResource(name, library);`. Common Encode Behavior This algorithm is used by all resource renderers to render the resource. `encodeBegin()` must take no action. Because this renderer returns `true` from `getRendersChildren()`, the `encodeChildren() method must take the following action.` If there is no name attribute, and the argument `component` has no children, and `ProjectStage` is not `ProjectStage.Production`, add a `FacesMessage` for this component's clientId to the `FacesContext` stating that if no name attribute is present, and no body content is present either, then the user should take action to correct this problem. In this case, `encodeChildren()` must take no further action. If there is no name attribute and the argument `component` does have children, the renderer must ensure that those children are encoded as usual. If there is a name attribute and the argument `component` does have children, the renderer must log a descriptive localized message stating that the child content will be ignored. The resource referenced by the name attribute will be rendered in `encodeEnd()`. If there is a name attribute and the argument `component` does not have children, `encodeChildren()` must take no action. `encodeEnd()` must take specific action based on the specific kind of resource being rendered. Use the algorithm Common Encode Behavior for `encodeBegin()`, `encodeChildren()` and `getRendersChildren()`. For `encodeEnd()`, use the algorithm Common Algorithm for Obtaining A Resource to Render above to obtain a reference to the `Resource` to be encoded. If this is NOT the first time this `Resource` has been referenced on this request take no action and return. Render a script element. Use the result from calling `resource.getRequestPath()` as the value of the "src" attribue. Use the result from calling `resource.getContentType()` as the value of the "type" attribute, unless the value equals `text/javascript` and the current doctype is a HTML5 doctype.
panelGrid	Renders an HTML "table" element, conforming to the rules in the HTML 401 specification. Render the "caption" facet, if present, inside a "caption" element immediately below the "table" element. If the "captionClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "caption" element. If the "captionStyle" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "style" attribute on the "caption" element. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute. Render the pass-through attributes in the table below. Render the "header" facet, if present, inside of "thead", "tr", and "th" elements, nested in that order. If the "headerClass" attribute is specifed, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "th" element. Render "colgroup" as the value of the "scope" attribute. Render the value of the "columns" attribute as the value of the "colspan" attribute on the "th" element. Render the "footer" facet if present, using similar logic to the rendering of the "header", but replacing "thead" with "tfoot", "th" with "td", and "headerClass" with "footerClass". Render the children of the `UIPanel` component inside of a "tbody" element. Render the children based on the value of the "columns" attribute, creating a new row each time a "columns" worth of children have been rendered. For the start of each row, render a "tr" element. Output the value of the "rowClasses" per the attribute description below. For each child, output a "td" element, attaching the value of the "columnClasses" attribute per the attribute description below. Recursively encode each child. Close out the "td" element. When done with the row, close out the "tr" element. If a child has "rendered==false" it is not rendered, and the column counter must not be incremented.
panelGroup	Intended for use in situations when only one UIComponent child can be nested, such as in the case of facets. If the "style" or "styleClass" attributes are present, and the "layout" attribute is present with a value of "block", render a "div" element, outputting the value of the "style" attribute as the value of the "style" attribute and the value of the "styleClass" attribute as the value of the "class" attribute. Otherwise, if the "layout" attribute is not present, or the "layout" attribute contains a value other than "block", render a "span" element, outputting the value of the "style" attribute as the value of the "style" attribute, and the value of the "styleClass" attribute as the value of the "class" attribute.
selectBooleanCheckbox	Renders an HTML "input" element of type "checkbox". Decode Behavior Obtain the `Map` from the "requestParameterMap" property of the `ExternalContext`. If there is no entry in the `Map` for the "clientId" of this component, pass "false" to the `setSubmittedValue()` method of the component, which must be an instance of `EditableValueHolder`. If there is an entry, and its value is equal, ignoring case and without quotes, to any of the Strings: "on", "yes" or "true" pass true to the `setSubmittedValue()` method of the component. Encode Behavior Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. If the current value of the component is "true", output the "checked" attribute (must be rendered as checked="checked"). If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute.
selectManyCheckbox	Render an HTML checkbox list. Decode Behavior See the "Decode Behavior for UISelectMany Components" section. Encode Behavior If the "layout" attribute is specified, and its value is "list", render a "ul" element as root element, otherwise render a "table" element. If the "styleClass" is specified, render the value of the "styleClass" attribute as the value of the "class" attribute on the root element. If the "style", or "border" attributes are specified, pass them thru and render their values as the "style" and "border" attributes on the root element, respectively. If the "layout" attribute is specified, and its value is "pageDirection", render the children elements vertically, otherwise horizontally, in the root element. If any of the children are an instance of SelectItemGroup, render them as a nested root element. Each of the children are ultimately rendererd as follows. Render an "input" element of "type" "checkbox" for each child component. Render the "name" attribute on the "input" element with the value of the `clientId` of the component. Render an "id" attribute on the "input" element. Each "id" value must be unique. If the current SelectItem.isDisabled() returns true, render "disabled" as the value of the "disabled" attribute. Close out the "input" element. Render a "label" element. Render the "for" attribute of the "label" element whose value is the corresponding "input" element's "id" value. Render any "style" as the "class" attribute on the "label" element. If the current checkbox would be rendered as being checked, and there is a "selectedClass" attribute, append a space, followed by the value of the "selectedClass" attribute to any existing "class" attribute value on the label element. Otherwise, render the value of the "selectedClass" attribute as the value of the "class" attribute on the label element. If the current checkbox would be rendered as being not checked, and there is a "unselectedClass" attribute, append a space, followed by the value of the "unselectedClass" attribute to any existing "class" attribute value on the label element. Otherwise, render the value of the "unselectedClass" attribute as the value of the "class" attribute on the label element. Close out the starting "label" element and render the label value from SelectItem.getLabel(). Close out the "label" element. As an exception to the general rules about how to handle the "id" attribute, render it as an attribute on the outer "table" element, the value of which is the `clientId` of the component per the rules at the beginning of this specification. The value of the current SelectItem is rendered as the value of the "value" attribute. Coerce the value of the currently rendered child to the type of the parent UISelectMany value following the Expression Language coercion rules, before comparing the values. If the value of the enclosing UISelectMany matches the current value, render "checked" as the value of the "checked" attribute. See the "Rendering the option elements" specification for `ListboxRenderer` for more detail on how to render the "option" elements in this renderer.
selectManyListbox	Render an HTML option list. Decode Behavior This section documents the decode behavior for all renderers that handle `UISelectMany` or `UISelectOne` components. Decode Behavior for `UISelectMany` components Obtain the `Map` from the "requestParameterValuesMap" property of the `ExternalContext`. If the `Map` contains an entry for the "clientId" of the component, pass the value of the entry, cast to a `String []`, to the `setSubmittedValue()` method of the component, which must be an `EditableValueHolder`. If the `Map` does not contain an entry, create an empty `String` array and call `setSubmittedValue()` with it. Please check the javadoc for UISelectMany.getConvertedValue() for additional requirements for renderers that render this kind of component. Decode Behavior for `UISelectOne` components Obtain the `Map` from the "requestParameterMap" property of the `ExternalContext`. If there is a `Map` entry for the "clientId" property of the component, pass it to the `setSubmittedValue()` method of the component. If the `Map` does not contain an entry, call `setSubmittedValue()` passing an empty `String` as the argument. Encode Behavior Render an HTML "select" element. Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "select" element. If the component is a `UISelectMany` instance, render "multiple" as the value of the "multiple" attribute. If the "size" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "size" attribute. Otherwise use the number of items as the value of the "size" attribute. Rendering the "option" elements The only valid children of this component are `UISelectItem` or `UISelectItems` instances. Iterate over the children of this component, and accrue a list of `jakarta.faces.model.SelectItem` instances. If the current child is a `SelectItem` whose `noSelctionProperty` is `true`, and the `UISelectOne` or `UISelectMany` parent of this option has one or more selected values that are not the "no selection" `SelectItem`, and the component has a "hideNoSelectionLabel" attribute whose value is `true`, then the current option, which is the "no selection" option, must not be rendered. If the current child is a `UISelectItem` create a `SelectItem`instance from its `itemValue, itemLabel`, `itemEscaped`, and `itemDescription` properties, add it to the list. If the current child is a `UISelectItems` instance, call its `getValue()` method. If the result is a `SelectItem` bean, add it to the list. If the result is an array of `SelectItem` beans, add each one to the list. If the result is a `Collection` of `SelectItem` beans, add each one to the list. If the result is a `Map`, create a `SelectItem` bean for each entry in the `Map` using the key as the label, the value as the value, and `null` as the description. Iterate over the list of `SelectItem` beans. If the current element is a `SelectItemGroup`, render an "optgroup" element with a "label" attribute, the value of which is the "label" property from the current element, then call `getSelectItems()` and render each element as below. If the current element is not a `SelectItemGroup`, render an "option" element. Follow the conversion rules in the spec to obtain a renderable `String` from the "value" property of the current element, render that as the value of the "value" atribute. Now it is time to see if the current element is the selected value. Call its `getSubmittedValue()` method, casting the result to an `Object []`, otherwise the component must be a `UISelectOne` instance, call its `getSubmittedValue()` method and create an `Object []` around the result. Determine the type of the resultant array, if the resultant array is non-null, otherwise the type is `String`. Coerce the current item value to this type following the Expression Language coercion rules. If the resultant array is non-null, we look in the array for a value that, when we pass the renderable value to its `equals()` method, it returns `true`, meaning the current element is selected. If the resultant array is `null`, if the component is a `UISelectMany`, call its `getValue()` method. If the result is a `List` obtain the values in the list as an array. Otherwise, the component must be a `UISelectOne` instance. Call its `getValue()` method, which must be an Object array. Look for an element in the resultant array that, 1. when we pass the renderable value to its `equals()` method, it returns `true` , or 2. if the renderable value is null, and there is a null element in the array, also conclude that the current element is selected. Otherwise the current element is not selected. Now, if the current value is selected, write out an HTML boolean property "selected". If the current SelectItem.isDisabled() returns true, render "disabled" as the value of the "disabled" attribute. If the value of the `escape` property is true, use the `writeText()` method of `ResponseWriter` to write out the value of the `label` property. Otherwise, use the `write()` method of the `ResponseWriter` to do so.
selectManyMenu	Render an HTML option list. Decode Behavior See the "Decode Behavior for UISelectMany Components" section. Encode Behavior Render an HTML "select" element. Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "select" element. If the component to be rendered is a UISelectMany, render "multiple" as the value of the "multiple" attribute. Render "1" as the value of the "size" attribute. See the "Rendering the option elements" specification for `ListboxRenderer` for more detail on how to render the "option" elements in this renderer.
selectOneListbox	Render an HTML option list. Decode Behavior See the "Decode Behavior for UISelectOne Components" section. Encode Behavior Render an HTML "select" element. Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "select" element. If the component to be rendered is a UISelectMany, render "multiple" as the value of the "multiple" attribute. If the "size" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "size" attribute. Otherwise use the number of items as the value of the "size" attribute. See the "Rendering the option elements" specification for `ListboxRenderer` for more detail on how to render the "option" elements in this renderer.
selectOneMenu	Render an HTML option list. Decode Behavior See the "Decode Behavior for UISelectOne Components" section. Encode Behavior Render an HTML "select" element. Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "select" element. If the component to be rendered is a UISelectMany, render "true" as the value of the "multiple" attribute. Use the number of items as the value of the "size" attribute. See the "Rendering the option elements" specification for `ListboxRenderer` for more detail on how to render the "option" elements in this renderer.
selectOneRadio	Render a set of html "input" elements of type "radio". Decode Behavior See the "Decode Behavior for UISelectOne Components" section. Encode Behavior If the "group" attribute is not specified, render as follows. If the "layout" attribute is specified, and its value is "list", render a "ul" element as root element, otherwise render a "table" element. As an exception to the general rules about how to handle the "id" attribute, render it as an attribute on the outer root element, the value of which is the `clientId` of the component per the rules at the beginning of this specification. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render the value of the "styleClass" attribute as the value of the "class" attribute on the root element. If the "style", "border" attributes are specified, pass them thru and render their values as the "style" and "border" attributes on the root element, respectively.. If the "layout" attribute is specified, and its value is "pageDirection", render the children elements vertically, otherwise horizontally, in the root element. If any of the children are an instance of `SelectItemGroup`, render them as a nested root element. Each of the `SelectItem` children are ultimately rendered as follows. If the `SelectItem.getLabel()` is specified, and the `group` attribute is specified, render as follows. Render a "label" element. Render the "for" attribute of the "label" element whose value is the corresponding "input" element's "id" value. Render any "class" attribute as the "class" attribute on the "label" element. Render the label value from `SelectItem.getLabel()`. Close out the "label" element. Render an "input" element of "type" "radio" for each child component. Render an "id" attribute on the "input" element. Each "id" value must be unique. If the "group" attribute is not specified, render the "name" attribute on the "input" element with the value of the `clientId` of the component. If the "group" attribute is specified, render as follows. Render the "name" attribute on the "input" element with the value of the "group" attribute. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render the value of the "styleClass" attribute as the value of the "class" attribute on the "input" element. If the "style" attribute is specified, pass it thru and render its value as the "style" attribute on the "input" element. Render the input value from `SelectItem.getValue()`. Coerce the select item value to the type of the parent `UISelectOne` value using the Expression Language coercion rules before comparing the values. If the select item value is equal to the value of the parent `UISelectOne`, render an appropriate HTML boolean value indicating "checked" for the enclosing "input". If the current `SelectItem.isDisabled()` returns true, render "disabled" as the value of the "disabled" attribute. Close out the "input" element. If the `SelectItem.getLabel()` is specified, and the `group` attribute is not specified, render as follows. Render a "label" element. Render the "for" attribute of the "label" element whose value is the corresponding "input" element's "id" value. Render any "class" attribute as the "class" attribute on the "label" element. Render the label value from `SelectItem.getLabel()`. Close out the "label" element. See the "Rendering the option elements" specification for `ListboxRenderer` for more detail on how to render the "option" elements in this renderer.
column	Renders a UIComponent that represents a single column of data within a parent `UIData` component.
inputFile	Renders an HTML "input" element of "type" "file". The standard HTML_BASIC RenderKit specifies behavior that assumes Servlet 3.0 or later. Portlet implementations must override this implementation with a semantically equivalent one that functions under the constraints of the Portlet specification. Decode Behavior Obtain the `Map` from the "requestParameterMap" property of the `ExternalContext`. If the `Map` contains an entry for the "clientId" of the component, pass the value of the entry to the `setSubmittedValue()` method of the component, which must be an instance of `EditableValueHolder`, and return. Otherwise, obtain the "request" property from the `ExternalContext` and cast it to `jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest`. Call `getParts()` on the httpServletRequest. Iterate over the parts. If the "name" property of the current part is equal to the "clientId", then collect the part. After the iteration, if the `multiple` attribute is set to `true`, then pass `java.util.Collection<jakarta.servlet.http.Part>` to the `setSubmittedValue()` method of the component, else pass the first item, if any, as `jakarta.servlet.http.Part` to the `setSubmittedValue()` method of the component. If an exception is thrown during the iteration, log the exception and continue. The standard implementation must override the `getConvertedValue()` so that it filters out from the `submittedValue` any parts which return `null` or an empty string on `getSubmittedFileName()`, or return `0` or less on `getSize()`. Any exception thrown when interacting with the underlying multi-part API must be wrapped in a `FacesException` and allowed to reach the `ExceptionHandler`. Encode Behavior Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. Do not render the "value" attribute. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute. If `ProjectStage` is not `ProjectStage.Production`, verify that the enclosing form has an `enctype` attribute whose value is `multipart/form-data`. If not, add a `FacesMessage` for this component's clientId to the `FacesContext` stating that file upload requires a form with `enctype` equal to `multipart/form-data`. If `ProjectStage` is `ProjectStage.Production`, do not do this verification.
doctype	Render the markup for a `<!DOCTYPE>` declaration. Decode Behavior No action is required during decode for this renderer. Encode Behavior Output an XML Doctype using the provided attributes. Output the literal text `<!DOCTYPE`. The "rootElement" attribute is required and must be rendered next. If the "public" attribute is defined, render the literal text `PUBLIC` then render the value of the attribute inside double quotes. If the "system" attribute is defined, render it next, inside double quotes. Close the doctype declaration with the literal text `>`. No relocation occurs with the output of this component. It is rendered at whatever position in the view hierarchy it happens to be encountered when traversing the view to render. Therefore, this component must be located in the view hierarchy at the correct location so that the final rendered markup has it in the proper place with respect to the user agent that consumes the rendered markup. In practice this means in front of the <html> or <h:html> element. Furthermore, if multiple <h:doctype> components exist, all of them will be rendered. If this component is present in a view, any DOCTYPE that would otherwise have been rendered by virtue of being present in the VDL page must be ignored.
