Constructor Details

ClientSideStateHelper

public ClientSideStateHelper()

Construct a new ClientSideStateHelper instance.

Method Details

writeState

public void writeState(FacesContext ctx,
 Object state,
 StringBuilder stateCapture)
                throws IOException

Writes the view state as a String generated by Base64 encoding the Java Serialziation representation of the provided state

If stateCapture is null, the Base64 encoded state will be written to the client as a hidden field using the ResponseWriter from the provided FacesContext.

If stateCapture is not null, the Base64 encoded state will be appended to the provided StringBuilder without any markup included or any content written to the client.

Specified by:

writeState in class StateHelper

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

• StateHelper.writeState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object, java.lang.StringBuilder)

getState

public Object getState(FacesContext ctx,
 String viewId)
                throws IOException

Inspects the incoming request parameters for the standardized state parameter name. In this case, the parameter value will be a Base64 encoded string previously encoded by ServerSideStateHelper#writeState(FacesContext, Object, StringBuilder).

The string will be Base64-decoded and the state reconstructed using standard Java serialization.

Specified by:

getState in class StateHelper

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

• StateHelper.getState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String)

doGetState

protected Object doGetState(FacesContext ctx,
 String stateString)

Rebuilds the view state from the Base64 included String included with the request.

Parameters:

stateString - the Base64 encoded view state

Returns:

the view state reconstructed from stateString

doWriteState

protected void doWriteState(FacesContext facesContext,
 Object state,
 Writer writer)
                     throws IOException

Serializes and Base64 encodes the provided state to the provided writer/

Parameters:

facesContext - the Faces context.

state - view state

writer - the Writer to write the content to

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs writing the state to the client

hasStateExpired

protected boolean hasStateExpired(long stateTime)

If the WebConfiguration.WebContextInitParameter.ClientStateTimeout init parameter is set, calculate the elapsed time between the time the client state was written and the time this method was invoked during restore. If the client state has expired, return true. If the client state hasn't expired, or the init parameter wasn't set, return false.

Parameters:

stateTime - the time in milliseconds that the state was written to the client

Returns:

false if the client state hasn't timed out, otherwise return true

init

protected void init()

Initialze the various configuration options for client-side sate saving.

isStateless

public boolean isStateless(FacesContext facesContext,
 String viewId)
                    throws IllegalStateException

Is stateless.

Specified by:

isStateless in class StateHelper

Parameters:

facesContext - the Faces context.

viewId - the view id.

Returns:

true if stateless, false otherwise.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - when the request was not a postback.
