Annotation Interface View

@Target({TYPE,METHOD,PARAMETER,FIELD}) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Qualifier @Documented public @interface View

The presence of this annotation on a target (type, method, parameter or field) within an application is used to indicate that this target is somehow handling a Faces View Id or Ids.

The exact way in which such view is handled depends on the annotated element in question.

      Set the Faces View Id pattern.

      The Faces View Id pattern can represent a single view, such as "/index.xhtml", or a pattern like "/foo/bar/*". Though the exact interpretation of the Faces View Id for a single view is ultimately defined by the annotated element, in general it should align with the return value from an action expression (see ActionSource2.setActionExpression(jakarta.el.MethodExpression)
      Returns:
      the Faces View Id pattern
