javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.EventListener, PartialStateHolder, StateHolder, TransientStateHolder, UniqueIdVendor, ComponentSystemEventListener, FacesListener, SystemEventListenerHolder

public class UIViewRoot
extends UIComponentBase
implements UniqueIdVendor

UIViewRoot is the UIComponent that represents the root of the UIComponent tree. This component renders markup as the response to Ajax requests. It also serves as the root of the component tree, and as a place to hang per-view PhaseListeners.

For each of the following lifecycle phase methods:

• processDecodes(javax.faces.context.FacesContext)

• processValidators(javax.faces.context.FacesContext)

• processUpdates(javax.faces.context.FacesContext)

• processApplication(javax.faces.context.FacesContext)

• RenderResponse, via encodeBegin(javax.faces.context.FacesContext) and encodeEnd(javax.faces.context.FacesContext)

Take the following action regarding PhaseListeners.

Initialize a state flag to false.

If getBeforePhaseListener() returns non-null, invoke the listener, passing in the correct corresponding PhaseId for this phase.

Upon return from the listener, call FacesContext.getResponseComplete() and FacesContext.getRenderResponse(). If either return true set the internal state flag to true.

If or one or more listeners have been added by a call to addPhaseListener(javax.faces.event.PhaseListener), invoke the beforePhase method on each one whose PhaseListener.getPhaseId() matches the current phaseId, passing in the same PhaseId as in the previous step.

Upon return from each listener, call FacesContext.getResponseComplete() and FacesContext.getRenderResponse(). If either return true set the internal state flag to true.

Execute any processing for this phase if the internal state flag was not set.

If getAfterPhaseListener() returns non-null, invoke the listener, passing in the correct corresponding PhaseId for this phase.

If or one or more listeners have been added by a call to addPhaseListener(javax.faces.event.PhaseListener), invoke the afterPhase method on each one whose PhaseListener.getPhaseId() matches the current phaseId, passing in the same PhaseId as in the previous step.

A resource instance is rendered by a resource Renderer, as described in the Standard HTML RenderKit. The default implementation must call through to addComponentResource(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, javax.faces.component.UIComponent, java.lang.String).

Parameters:

context - FacesContext for the current request

componentResource - The UIComponent representing a Resource instance

Since:

2.0

addComponentResource

public void addComponentResource(FacesContext context,
                                 UIComponent componentResource,
                                 java.lang.String target)

Add argument component, which is assumed to represent a resource instance, as a resource to this view. A resource instance is rendered by a resource Renderer, as described in the Standard HTML RenderKit.

The component must be added using the following algorithm:

• If the target argument is null, look for a target attribute on the component. If there is no target attribute, set target to be the default value head

• Call getComponentResources(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String) to obtain the child list for the given target.

• If the component ID of componentResource matches the the ID of a resource that has allready been added, remove the old resource.

• Add the component resource to the list.

Parameters:

context - FacesContext for the current request

componentResource - The UIComponent representing a Resource instance

target - The name of the facet for which the UIComponent will be added

Since:

2.0

getComponentResources

public java.util.List<UIComponent> getComponentResources(FacesContext context,

Return an unmodifiable List of UIComponents for the provided target agrument. Each component in the List is assumed to represent a resource instance.

The default implementation must use an algorithm equivalent to the the following.

• Locate the facet for the component by calling getFacet() using target as the argument.
• If the facet is not found, create the facet by calling context.getApplication().createComponent(). The argument to this method must refer to a component that extends UIPanel and overrides the encodeAll() method to take no action. This is necessary to prevent component resources from being inadvertently rendered.
• Set the id of the facet to be a string created by prepending the literal string “javax_faces_location_” (without the quotes) to the value of the target argument
• Add the facet to the facets Map using target as the key
• return the children of the facet

Parameters:

target - The name of the facet for which the components will be returned.

Returns:

A List of UIComponent children of the facet with the name target. If no children are found for the facet, return Collections.emptyList().

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if target or context is null

Remove argument component, which is assumed to represent a resource instance, as a resource to this view. A resource instance is rendered by a resource Renderer, as described in the Standard HTML RenderKit.

The component must be removed using the following algorithm:

• If the target argument is null, look for a target attribute on the component.
  If there is no target attribute, set target to be the default value head
• Call getComponentResources(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String) to obtain the child list for the given target.
• Remove the component resource from the child list.

Returns a Map that acts as the interface to the data store that is the "view scope", or, if this instance does not have such a Map and the create argument is true, creates one and returns it. This map must be instantiated lazily and cached for return from subsequent calls to this method on this UIViewRoot instance. Application.publishEvent(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Class<? extends javax.faces.event.SystemEvent>, java.lang.Object) must be called, passing PostConstructViewMapEvent.class as the first argument and this UIViewRoot instance as the second argument.

The returned Map must be implemented such that calling clear() on the Map causes Application.publishEvent(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Class<? extends javax.faces.event.SystemEvent>, java.lang.Object) to be called, passing PreDestroyViewMapEvent.class as the first argument and this UIViewRoot instance as the second argument.

Depending upon application configuration, objects stored in the view map may need to be Serializable. In general, it is a good idea to ensure that any objects stored in the view map are Serializable.

For reasons made clear in ViewScoped, this map must ultimately be stored in the session. For this reason, a true value for the create argument will force the session to be created with a call to ExternalContext.getSession(boolean).

See FacesContext.setViewRoot(javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot) for the specification of when the clear() method must be called.

Parameters:

create - true to create a new Map for this instance if necessary; false to return null if there's no current Map.

subscribeToViewEvent

public void subscribeToViewEvent(java.lang.Class<? extends SystemEvent> systemEvent,
                                 SystemEventListener listener)

Install the listener instance referenced by argument listener into the UIViewRoot as a listener for events of type systemEventClass.

Note that installed listeners are not maintained as part of the UIViewRoot's state.

Parameters:

systemEvent - the Class of event for which listener must be fired.

listener - the implementation of SystemEventListener whose SystemEventListener.processEvent(javax.faces.event.SystemEvent) method must be called when events of type systemEventClass are fired.

Since:

2.0

unsubscribeFromViewEvent

public void unsubscribeFromViewEvent(java.lang.Class<? extends SystemEvent> systemEvent,
                                     SystemEventListener listener)

Remove the listener instance referenced by argument listener from the UIViewRoot as a listener for events of type systemEventClass.

Parameters:

systemEvent - the Class of event for which listener must be fired.

listener - the implementation of SystemEventListener whose SystemEventListener.processEvent(javax.faces.event.SystemEvent) method must be called when events of type systemEventClass are fired.

Since:

2.0

getViewListenersForEventClass

public java.util.List<SystemEventListener> getViewListenersForEventClass(java.lang.Class<? extends SystemEvent> systemEvent)

Return the SystemEventListener instances registered on this UIComponent instance that are interested in events of type eventClass.

Parameters:

systemEvent - the Class of event for which the listeners must be returned.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if argument systemEvent is null.

restoreViewScopeState

public void restoreViewScopeState(FacesContext context,
                                  java.lang.Object state)

Restore ViewScope state. This is needed to allow the use of view scoped beans for EL-expressions in the template from which the component tree is built. For example: <ui:include src="#{viewScopedBean.includeFileName}"/>.

Parameters:

context - current FacesContext.

state - the state object.

saveState

public java.lang.Object saveState(FacesContext context)

Description copied from interface: 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(javax.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 StateHolder

Overrides:

saveState in class UIComponentBase

restoreState

public void restoreState(FacesContext context,
                         java.lang.Object state)

Description copied from interface: 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(javax.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 StateHolder

Overrides:

restoreState in class UIComponentBase
