All Implemented Interfaces:

public class UIParameter extends UIComponentBase

UIParameter is a UIComponent that represents an optionally named configuration parameter for a parent component.

Parent components should retrieve the value of a parameter by calling getValue(). In this way, the parameter value can be set directly on the component (via setValue()), or retrieved indirectly via the value binding expression.

In some scenarios, it is necessary to provide a parameter name, in addition to the parameter value that is accessible via the getValue() method. Renderers that support parameter names on their nested UIParameter child components should document their use of this property.
