Class Flow
Flow is the runtime representation of a Faces Flow. Once placed into service by the runtime, an instance of this class is immutable. The implementation must be thread-safe because instances will be shared across all usages of the flow within the application.

Method Details
-
getId
Return the immutable id for this Flow. This must be unique within the defining document (such as an Application Configuration Resources file), but need not be unique within the entire application.
- Since:
- 2.2
-
getDefiningDocumentId
Return the immutable application unique identifier for the document in which the argument flow is defined.
- Since:
- 2.2
-
getStartNodeId
Return the immutable id for the default node that should be activated when this flow is entered.
- Since:
- 2.2
-
getFinalizer
Return the
MethodExpression
that must be called by the runtime as the last thing that happens before exiting this flow. AnyFlowScoped
beans declared for this flow must remain in scope until after control returns from the method referenced by thisMethodExpression
.- Since:
- 2.2
-
getInitializer
Return the
MethodExpression
that must be called by the runtime immediately after activating anyFlowScoped
beans declared for this flow.- Since:
- 2.2
-
getInboundParameters
Return an immutable data structure containing the inbound parameters that have been declared for this flow. See
FlowHandler.transition(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, javax.faces.flow.Flow, javax.faces.flow.Flow, javax.faces.flow.FlowCallNode, java.lang.String)
for the specification of how these parameters are used. Inbound parameters are associated with a specific flow instance, while outbound parameters are associated with aFlowCallNode
that causes the transition to a new flow.- Since:
- 2.2
-
getViews
Return an immutable data structure containing all of the view nodes declared for this flow.
- Since:
- 2.2
-
getReturns
Return an immutable data structure containing all of the return nodes declared for this flow.
- Since:
- 2.2
-
getSwitches
Return an immutable data structure containing all of the switch nodes declared for this flow.
- Since:
- 2.2
-
getFlowCalls
Return an immutable data structure containing all the flow call nodes declared for this flow.
- Since:
- 2.2
-
getFlowCall
Return the
FlowCallNode
that represents calling thetargetFlow
from this flow, ornull
iftargetFlow
cannot be reached from this flow.- Since:
- 2.2
-
getMethodCalls
Return an immutable data structure containing all the method call nodes declared for this flow.
- Since:
- 2.2
-
getNode
-
getClientWindowFlowId
Obtain the current
ClientWindow
from theExternalContext
. Get the window's id and append "_" and the return fromgetId()
. Return the result.- Since:
- 2.2
