@Deprecated public abstract class UIComponentTag extends UIComponentClassicTagBase implements Tag
Deprecated.
Use of this class has been replaced with UIComponentELTag, which extends UIComponentClassicTagBase to add properties that use the Jakarta Expression Language API introduced as part of Jakarta Server Pages 2.1.

UIComponentTag is the base class for all Jakarta Server Pages custom actions that correspond to user interface components in a page that is rendered by Jakarta Server Faces.

In this version of the specification, UIComponentTag extends UIComponentClassicTagBase to add properties that use the Faces 1.1 Expression Language.

  • Constructor Details

    • UIComponentTag

      public UIComponentTag()
      Deprecated.

  • Method Details

    • setBinding

      public void setBinding(String binding) throws JspException
      Deprecated.

      Set the value binding expression for our component.

      Parameters:
      binding - The new value binding expression
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the specified binding is not a valid value binding expression.
      JspException - if the binding cannot be set

    • hasBinding

      protected boolean hasBinding()
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: UIComponentClassicTagBase

      Return true if this component has a non-null binding attribute. This method is necessary to allow subclasses that expose the binding property as an Faces 1.1 style Expression Language property as well as subclasses that expose it as a Jakarta Expression Language API property.

      Specified by:
      hasBinding in class UIComponentClassicTagBase
      Returns:
      whether or not this component has a binding attribute

    • setRendered

      public void setRendered(String rendered)
      Deprecated.

      Set an override for the rendered attribute.

      Parameters:
      rendered - The new value for rendered attribute

    • isSuppressed

      protected boolean isSuppressed()
      Deprecated.

    • isValueReference

      public static boolean isValueReference(String value)
      Deprecated.

      Return true if the specified value conforms to the syntax requirements of a value binding expression. Such expressions ` * may be used on most component tag attributes to signal a desire for deferred evaluation of the attribute or property value to be set on the underlying UIComponent.

      Parameters:
      value - The value to evaluate
      Returns:
      whether or not this value has the correct syntax for a value binding expression
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if value is null

    • release

      public void release()
      Deprecated.

      Release any resources allocated during the execution of this tag handler.

      Specified by:
      release in interface Tag
      Overrides:
      release in class UIComponentClassicTagBase

    • setProperties

      protected void setProperties(UIComponent component)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: UIComponentClassicTagBase

      Override properties and attributes of the specified component, if the corresponding properties of this tag handler instance were explicitly set. This method must be called ONLY if the specified UIComponent was in fact created during the execution of this tag handler instance, and this call will occur BEFORE the UIComponent is added to the view.

      Tag subclasses that want to support additional set properties must ensure that the base class setProperties() method is still called. A typical implementation that supports extra properties foo and bar would look something like this: 

       protected void setProperties(UIComponent component) {
     super.setProperties(component);
     if (foo != null) {
         component.setAttribute("foo", foo);
     }
     if (bar != null) {
         component.setAttribute("bar", bar);
     }
 }

      The default implementation overrides the following properties:

      • rendered - Set if a value for the rendered property is specified for this tag handler instance.
      • rendererType - Set if the getRendererType() method returns a non-null value.
      Specified by:
      setProperties in class UIComponentClassicTagBase
      Parameters:
      component - UIComponent whose properties are to be overridden

    • createComponent

      protected UIComponent createComponent(FacesContext context, String newId)
      Deprecated.

      Implement createComponent using Faces 1.1 EL API.

      Specified by:
      createComponent in class UIComponentClassicTagBase
      Parameters:
      context - FacesContext for the current request
      newId - id of the component
      Returns:
      the created component

    • getParentUIComponentTag

      public static UIComponentTag getParentUIComponentTag(PageContext context)
      Deprecated.

      Locate and return the nearest enclosing UIComponentTag if any; otherwise, return null.

      Parameters:
      context - PageContext for the current page
      Returns:
      the parent tag
