Class StateManager

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    StateManagerWrapper

    public abstract class StateManager
    extends Object

    StateManager directs the process of saving and restoring the view between requests. An implementation of this class must be thread-safe. The StateManager instance for an application is retrieved from the Application instance, and thus cannot know any details of the markup language created by the RenderKit being used to render a view. The StateManager utilizes a helper object (ResponseStateManager), that is provided by the RenderKit implementation and is therefore aware of the markup language details.

    • Field Summary

      Fields 
      Modifier and Type Field Description
      static String FULL_STATE_SAVING_VIEW_IDS_PARAM_NAME
      The runtime must interpret the value of this parameter as a comma separated list of view IDs, each of which must have their state saved using the state saving mechanism specified in Jakarta Faces 1.2.
      static String IS_BUILDING_INITIAL_STATE
      Marker within the FacesContext attributes map to indicate we are marking initial state, so the markInitialState() method of iterating components such as UIData could recognize this fact and save the initial state of descendents.
      static String IS_SAVING_STATE
      Marker within the FacesContext attributes map to indicate we are saving state.
      static String PARTIAL_STATE_SAVING_PARAM_NAME
      The ServletContext init parameter consulted by the runtime to determine if the partial state saving mechanism should be used.
      static String SERIALIZE_SERVER_STATE_PARAM_NAME
      If this param is set, and calling toLowerCase().equals("true") on a String representation of its value returns true, and the jakarta.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD is set to "server" (as indicated below), the server state must be guaranteed to be Serializable such that the aggregate state implements java.io.Serializable.
      static String STATE_SAVING_METHOD_CLIENT
      Constant value for the initialization parameter named by the STATE_SAVING_METHOD_PARAM_NAME that indicates state saving should take place on the client.
      static String STATE_SAVING_METHOD_PARAM_NAME
      The ServletContext init parameter consulted by the StateManager to tell where the state should be saved.
      static String STATE_SAVING_METHOD_SERVER
      Constant value for the initialization parameter named by the STATE_SAVING_METHOD_PARAM_NAME that indicates state saving should take place on the server.

      • PARTIAL_STATE_SAVING_PARAM_NAME

        public static final String PARTIAL_STATE_SAVING_PARAM_NAME

        The ServletContext init parameter consulted by the runtime to determine if the partial state saving mechanism should be used.

        If undefined, the runtime must determine the version level of the application.

        • For applications versioned at 1.2 and under, the runtime must not use the partial state saving mechanism.

        • For applications versioned at 2.0 and above, the runtime must use the partial state saving mechanism.

        If this parameter is defined, and the application is versioned at 1.2 and under, the runtime must not use the partial state saving mechanism. Otherwise, If this param is defined, and calling toLowerCase().equals("true") on a String representation of its value returns true, the runtime must use partial state mechanism. Otherwise the partial state saving mechanism must not be used.

        Since:
        2.0

      • FULL_STATE_SAVING_VIEW_IDS_PARAM_NAME

        public static final String FULL_STATE_SAVING_VIEW_IDS_PARAM_NAME

        The runtime must interpret the value of this parameter as a comma separated list of view IDs, each of which must have their state saved using the state saving mechanism specified in Jakarta Faces 1.2.

      • IS_SAVING_STATE

        public static final String IS_SAVING_STATE

        Marker within the FacesContext attributes map to indicate we are saving state. The implementation must set this marker into the map before starting the state saving traversal and the marker must be cleared, in a finally block, after the traversal is complete.

        See Also:
        Constant Field Values
      • IS_BUILDING_INITIAL_STATE

        public static final String IS_BUILDING_INITIAL_STATE

        Marker within the FacesContext attributes map to indicate we are marking initial state, so the markInitialState() method of iterating components such as UIData could recognize this fact and save the initial state of descendents.

      • SERIALIZE_SERVER_STATE_PARAM_NAME

        public static final String SERIALIZE_SERVER_STATE_PARAM_NAME

        If this param is set, and calling toLowerCase().equals("true") on a String representation of its value returns true, and the jakarta.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD is set to "server" (as indicated below), the server state must be guaranteed to be Serializable such that the aggregate state implements java.io.Serializable. The intent of this parameter is to ensure that the act of writing out the state to an ObjectOutputStream would not throw a NotSerializableException, but the runtime is not required verify this before saving the state.

        Since:
        2.2

        Constant Field Values
      • STATE_SAVING_METHOD_CLIENT

        public static final String STATE_SAVING_METHOD_CLIENT

        Constant value for the initialization parameter named by the STATE_SAVING_METHOD_PARAM_NAME that indicates state saving should take place on the client.

      • STATE_SAVING_METHOD_SERVER

        public static final String STATE_SAVING_METHOD_SERVER
