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;

Return the Application

It is valid to call this method during application startup or shutdown. If called during application startup or
shutdown, returns the correct current Application
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

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.

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, jakarta.faces.application.FacesMessage)
.

Return the ELContext
instance for this FacesContext
instance. This ELContext
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

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

Set the resource library contracts calculated as valid to use with this view. The implementation must copy the
contents of the incoming List
into an immutable List
for return from
getResourceLibraryContracts()
. 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
. This
method may only be called during the processing of ViewDeclarationLanguage.createView(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String)
and
during the VDL tag handler for the tag corresponding to an instance of UIViewRoot

to avoid
repeated object creation and garbage collection. After release()
is called on a

implementation for re-use), calling any other methods will cause an IllegalStateException
to be thrown.
