public abstract class FacesContext extends Object
FacesContext contains all of the per-request state information related to the processing of a single Jakarta Server Faces request, and the rendering of the corresponding response. It is passed to, and potentially modified by, each phase of the request processing lifecycle.
A FacesContext
instance is associated with a particular
request at the beginning of request processing, by a call to the
getFacesContext()
method of the FacesContextFactory
instance associated with the current web application. The instance
remains active until its release()
method is called, after
which no further references to this instance are allowed. While a
FacesContext
instance is active, it must not be referenced
from any thread other than the one upon which the Jakarta Servlet container
executing this web application utilizes for the processing of this request.
A FacesContext can be injected into a request
scoped bean using @Inject FacesContext facesContext;

instance.
Application
instance associated with this web application.IllegalStateException
- if this method is called after
this instance has been releasedpublic Map<Object,Object> getAttributes()
Return a mutable Map
representing the attributes associated wth this
FacesContext
instance. This Map
is
useful to store attributes that you want to go out of scope when the
Faces lifecycle for the current request ends, which is not always the same
as the request ending, especially in the case of Jakarta Servlet filters
that are invoked after the Faces lifecycle for this
request completes. Accessing this Map
does not cause any
events to fire, as is the case with the other maps: for request, session, and
application scope. When release()
is invoked, the attributes
must be cleared.
The Map
returned by this method is not associated with
the request. If you would like to get or set request attributes,
see ExternalContext.getRequestMap()
.
The default implementation throws
UnsupportedOperationException
and is provided
for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend
this class.

Return the PartialViewContext

is used to control
the processing of specified components during the execute portion of
the request processing lifecycle (known as partial processing) and
the rendering of specified components (known as partial rendering).
This method must return a new PartialViewContext
if one
does not already exist.

Return an Iterator

such client identifiers, an empty Iterator
is returned.
If any messages have been queued that were not associated with any
specific client identifier, a null
value will be included
in the iterated values. The elements in the Iterator
must
be returned in the order in which they were added with addMessage(java.lang.String, javax.faces.application.FacesMessage)
.

instance has the same lifetime and scope as the
FacesContext
instance with which it is associated,
and may be created lazily the first time this method is called
for a given FacesContext
instance. Upon creation of
the ELContext instance, the implementation must take the
following action:
Call the ELContext.putContext(java.lang.Class, java.lang.Object)
method on the
instance, passing in FacesContext.class
and the
this
reference for the FacesContext
instance itself.
If the Collection
returned by Application.getELContextListeners()
is
non-empty, create an instance of ELContextEvent
and pass it to each ELContextListener
instance in the

by calling the ELContextListener.contextCreated(javax.el.ELContextEvent)
method.

class. Methods document as being valid to call during
application startup or shutdown must be supported.

Return the list of resource library contracts that have been calculated to be appropriate for use with this view, or an empty list if there are no such resource library contracts. The list returned by this method must be immutable. For backward compatibility with implementations of the specification prior to when this method was introduced, an implementation is provided that returns an empty list. Implementations compliant with the version in which this method was introduced must implement this method as specified.

Set the resource library contracts

If the argument is null
or empty, the action taken is the same as if
the argument is null
: a subsequent call to getResourceLibraryContracts
returns null
