getClientId

public String getClientId(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext faces)

Description copied from class: jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent

Return a client-side identifier for this component, generating one if necessary. The associated Renderer, if any, will be asked to convert the clientId to a form suitable for transmission to the client.

The return from this method must be the same value throughout the lifetime of the instance, unless the id property of the component is changed, or the component is placed in a NamingContainer whose client ID changes (for example, UIData). However, even in these cases, consecutive calls to this method must always return the same value. The implementation must follow these steps in determining the clientId:

Find the closest ancestor to this component in the view hierarchy that implements NamingContainer. Call getContainerClientId() on it and save the result as the parentId local variable. Call UIComponent.getId() on this component and save the result as the myId local variable. If myId is null, call context.getViewRoot().createUniqueId() and assign the result to myId. If parentId is non-null, let myId equal parentId + UINamingContainer.getSeparatorChar(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext) + myId. Call Renderer.convertClientId(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String), passing myId, and return the result.

Overrides:

getClientId in class jakarta.faces.component.UIComponentBase

Parameters:

faces - The FacesContext for the current request

Returns:

the client id.

process

public void process(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext faces,
                    jakarta.faces.event.PhaseId phase)

invokeOnComponent

public boolean invokeOnComponent(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext faces,
                                 String clientId,
                                 jakarta.faces.component.ContextCallback callback)
                          throws jakarta.faces.FacesException

Description copied from class: jakarta.faces.component.UIComponentBase

Starting at this component in the View hierarchy, search for a component with a clientId equal to the argument clientId and, if found, call the ContextCallback.invokeContextCallback(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent) method on the argument callback, passing the current FacesContext and the found component as arguments. This method is similar to UIComponent.findComponent(java.lang.String) but it does not support the leading UINamingContainer.getSeparatorChar(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext) syntax for searching from the root of the View.

The default implementation will first check if this.getClientId() is equal to the argument clientId. If so, first call UIComponent.pushComponentToEL(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent), then call the ContextCallback.invokeContextCallback(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent) method on the argument callback, passing through the FacesContext argument and passing this as the component argument. Then call UIComponent.popComponentFromEL(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext). If an Exception is thrown by the callback, wrap it in a FacesException and re-throw it. Otherwise, return true.

Otherwise, for each component returned by UIComponent.getFacetsAndChildren(), call invokeOnComponent() passing the arguments to this method, in order. The first time invokeOnComponent() returns true, abort traversing the rest of the Iterator and return true.

When calling ContextCallback.invokeContextCallback(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent) the implementation of this method must guarantee that the state of the component passed to the callback correctly reflects the component's position in the View hierarchy with respect to any state found in the argument clientId. For example, an iterating component such as UIData will need to set its row index to correctly reflect the argument clientId before finding the appropriate child component backed by the correct row. When the callback returns, either normally or by throwing an Exception the implementation of this method must restore the state of the view to the way it was before invoking the callback.

If none of the elements from UIComponent.getFacetsAndChildren() returned true from invokeOnComponent(), return false.

Simple usage example to find a component by clientId.

 
    private UIComponent found = null;

    private void doFind(FacesContext context, String clientId) {
      context.getViewRoot().invokeOnComponent(context, clientId,
          new ContextCallback() {
             public void invokeContextCallback(FacesContext context,
                                           UIComponent component) {
               found = component;
             }
          });
    }
 
 

Overrides:

invokeOnComponent in class jakarta.faces.component.UIComponentBase

Parameters:

faces - the FacesContext for the current request

clientId - the client identifier of the component to be passed to the argument callback.

callback - an implementation of the Callback interface.

Returns:

true if the a component with the given clientId is found, the callback method was successfully invoked passing that component as an argument, and no Exception was thrown. Returns false if no component with the given clientId is found.

Throws:

jakarta.faces.FacesException - if the argument Callback throws an Exception, it is wrapped in a FacesException and re-thrown.

visitTree

public boolean visitTree(jakarta.faces.component.visit.VisitContext context,
                         jakarta.faces.component.visit.VisitCallback callback)

Description copied from class: jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent

Perform a tree visit starting at this node in the tree.

UIComponent.visitTree() implementations do not invoke the VisitCallback directly, but instead call VisitContext.invokeVisitCallback(jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent, jakarta.faces.component.visit.VisitCallback) to invoke the callback. This allows VisitContext implementations to provide optimized tree traversals, for example by only calling the VisitCallback for a subset of components.

UIComponent.visitTree() implementations must call UIComponent.pushComponentToEL() before performing the visit and UIComponent.popComponentFromEL() after the visit.

Overrides:

visitTree in class jakarta.faces.component.UINamingContainer

Parameters:

context - the VisitContext for this visit

callback - the VisitCallback instance whose visit method will be called for each node visited.

Returns:

true if tree should be visited, false otherwise.

See Also:

UIComponent.visitTree(jakarta.faces.component.visit.VisitContext, jakarta.faces.component.visit.VisitCallback)

broadcast

public void broadcast(jakarta.faces.event.FacesEvent event)
               throws jakarta.faces.event.AbortProcessingException

Description copied from class: jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent

Broadcast the specified FacesEvent to all registered event listeners who have expressed an interest in events of this type. Listeners are called in the order in which they were added.

If the event is an instance of BehaviorEvent and the current component is the source of the event call BehaviorEvent.getBehavior() to get the Behavior for the event. Call Behavior.broadcast(jakarta.faces.event.BehaviorEvent) on the Behavior instance.

Overrides:

broadcast in class jakarta.faces.component.UIComponentBase

Parameters:

event - The FacesEvent to be broadcast

Throws:

jakarta.faces.event.AbortProcessingException - Signal the Jakarta Server Faces implementation that no further processing on the current event should be performed

queueEvent

public void queueEvent(jakarta.faces.event.FacesEvent event)

Description copied from class: jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent

Queue an event for broadcast at the end of the current request processing lifecycle phase. The default implementation in UIComponentBase must delegate this call to the queueEvent() method of the parent UIComponent.

Overrides:

queueEvent in class jakarta.faces.component.UIComponentBase

Parameters:

event - FacesEvent to be queued

restoreState

public void restoreState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext faces,
                         Object object)

Description copied from interface: jakarta.faces.component.StateHolder

Perform any processing required to restore the state from the entries in the state Object.

If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that also implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.restoreState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object) method on all those instances as well.

If the state argument is null, take no action and return.

Specified by:

restoreState in interface jakarta.faces.component.StateHolder

Overrides:

restoreState in class jakarta.faces.component.UIComponentBase

Parameters:

faces - the Faces context.

object - the state.

saveState

public Object saveState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext faces)

Description copied from interface: jakarta.faces.component.StateHolder

Gets the state of the instance as a Serializable Object.

If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.saveState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext) method on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is done via the StateManager

This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code:

 
 Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);
 
 

component should be the same as before executing it.

The return from this method must be Serializable

Specified by:

saveState in interface jakarta.faces.component.StateHolder

Overrides:

saveState in class jakarta.faces.component.UIComponentBase

Parameters:

faces - the Faces context.

Returns:

the saved state.

encodeChildren

public void encodeChildren(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext faces)
                    throws IOException

Description copied from class: jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent

If our rendered property is true, render the child UIComponents of this UIComponent. This method will only be called if the rendersChildren property is true.

If a Renderer is associated with this UIComponent, the actual encoding will be delegated to Renderer.encodeChildren(FacesContext, UIComponent). If no Renderer is associated with this UIComponent, iterate over each of the children of this component and call UIComponent.encodeAll(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext).

Overrides:

encodeChildren in class jakarta.faces.component.UIComponentBase

Parameters:

faces - FacesContext for the response we are creating

Throws:

IOException - if an input/output error occurs while rendering

getRendersChildren

public boolean getRendersChildren()

Description copied from class: jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent

Return a flag indicating whether this component is responsible for rendering its child components. The default implementation in UIComponentBase.getRendersChildren() tries to find the renderer for this component. If it does, it calls Renderer.getRendersChildren() and returns the result. If it doesn't, it returns false. As of version 1.2 of the Jakarta Server Faces Specification, component authors are encouraged to return true from this method and rely on UIComponentBase.encodeChildren(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext).

Overrides:

getRendersChildren in class jakarta.faces.component.UIComponentBase

Returns:

true if the component renders its children, false otherwise.
