public class UIGraphic
extends UIComponentBase

UIGraphic is a UIComponent that displays a graphical image to the user. The user cannot manipulate this component; it is for display purposes only.

By default, the rendererType property must be set to "javax.faces.Image". This value can be changed by calling the setRendererType() method.

Constructor Details

UIGraphic

public UIGraphic()

Create a new UIGraphic instance with default property values.

Method Details

getFamily

public String getFamily()

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Return the identifier of the component family to which this component belongs. This identifier, in conjunction with the value of the rendererType property, may be used to select the appropriate Renderer for this component instance. Note this method should NOT return null

Specified by:

getFamily in class UIComponent

Returns:

the component family (not null).

getUrl

public String getUrl()

Return the image URL for this UIGraphic. This method is a typesafe alias for getValue().

Returns:

the url.

setUrl

public void setUrl(String url)

Set the image URL for this UIGraphic. This method is a typesafe alias for setValue().

Parameters:

url - The new image URL

getValue

public Object getValue()

Returns the value property of the UIGraphic. This will typically be rendered as an URL.

Returns:

the value.

setValue

public void setValue(Object value)

Sets the value property of the UIGraphic. This will typically be rendered as an URL.

Parameters:

value - the new value

getValueBinding

public ValueBinding getValueBinding(String name)

Deprecated.

This has been replaced by getValueExpression(java.lang.String).

Return any ValueBinding set for value if a ValueBinding for url is requested; otherwise, perform the default superclass processing for this method.

Overrides:

getValueBinding in class UIComponentBase

Parameters:

name - Name of the attribute or property for which to retrieve a ValueBinding

Returns:

the value binding, or null.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if name is null

setValueBinding

public void setValueBinding(String name,
 ValueBinding binding)

Deprecated.

This has been replaced by setValueExpression(java.lang.String, javax.el.ValueExpression).

Store any ValueBinding specified for url under value instead; otherwise, perform the default superclass processing for this method. In all cases, the superclass is relied on to convert the ValueBinding to a ValueExpression.

Overrides:

setValueBinding in class UIComponentBase

Parameters:

name - Name of the attribute or property for which to set a ValueBinding

binding - The ValueBinding to set, or null to remove any currently set ValueBinding

Throws:

NullPointerException - if name is null

getValueExpression

public ValueExpression getValueExpression(String name)

Return any ValueExpression set for value if a ValueExpression for url is requested; otherwise, perform the default superclass processing for this method.

Overrides:

getValueExpression in class UIComponent

Parameters:

name - Name of the attribute or property for which to retrieve a ValueExpression

Returns:

the value expression, or null.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if name is null

Since:

1.2

setValueExpression

public void setValueExpression(String name,
 ValueExpression binding)

Store any ValueExpression specified for url under value instead; otherwise, perform the default superclass processing for this method.

Overrides:

setValueExpression in class UIComponent

Parameters:

name - Name of the attribute or property for which to set a ValueExpression

binding - The ValueExpression to set, or null to remove any currently set ValueExpression

Throws:

NullPointerException - if name is null

Since:
