Class ClientBehaviorBase

java.lang.Object

javax.faces.component.behavior.BehaviorBase

javax.faces.component.behavior.ClientBehaviorBase

All Implemented Interfaces:

Behavior, ClientBehavior, PartialStateHolder, StateHolder

Direct Known Subclasses:

AjaxBehavior

public class ClientBehaviorBase
extends BehaviorBase
implements ClientBehavior

ClientBehaviorBase is a convenience base class that implements the default concrete behavior of all methods defined by ClientBehavior.

Subclasses should either override getRendererType() to identify the ClientBehaviorRenderer to delegate to, or they should override getScript() to locally generate the desired Behavior script, and decode().

Since:

2.0

ClientBehaviorBase

public ClientBehaviorBase()

Method Details

getScript

public String getScript(ClientBehaviorContext behaviorContext)

Default implementation of of ClientBehavior.getScript(javax.faces.component.behavior.ClientBehaviorContext). If a ClientBehaviorRenderer is available for the specified behavior renderer type, this method delegates to the ClientBehaviorRenderer.getScript(javax.faces.component.behavior.ClientBehaviorContext, javax.faces.component.behavior.ClientBehavior) method. Otherwise, this method returns null.

Specified by:

getScript in interface ClientBehavior

Parameters:

behaviorContext - the ClientBehaviorContext

Returns:

the script provided by the associated ClientBehaviorRenderer, or null if no ClientBehaviorRenderer is available.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if behaviorContext is null

Since:

2.0

decode

public void decode(FacesContext context,
 UIComponent component)

Default implementation of of ClientBehavior.decode(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, javax.faces.component.UIComponent). If a ClientBehaviorRenderer is available for the specified behavior renderer type, this method delegates to the ClientBehaviorRenderer's decode() method. Otherwise, no decoding is performed.

Specified by:

decode in interface ClientBehavior

Parameters:

context - FacesContext for the request we are processing

component - UIComponent the component associated with this ClientBehavior

Throws:

NullPointerException - if context or component is null.

Since:

2.0

getRendererType

public String getRendererType()

Returns the renderer type of the ClientBehaviorRenderer to use for the behavior. The default implementation returns null. Subclasses should either override this method to return a string that identifies the type of ClientBehaviorRenderer to use, or should override getScript(javax.faces.component.behavior.ClientBehaviorContext) and perform script rendering locally in the ClientBehavior implementation.

Returns:

the default renderer type, which is null.

Since:

2.0

getHints

public Set<ClientBehaviorHint> getHints()

Default implementation of ClientBehavior.getHints(). By default, no hints are specified, and this method returns an empty, umodifiable set.

Specified by:

getHints in interface ClientBehavior

Returns:

an empty, unmodifiable set of ClientBehaviorHints.

Since:

2.0

getRenderer

protected ClientBehaviorRenderer getRenderer(FacesContext context)

Convenience method to return the ClientBehaviorRenderer instance associated with this ClientBehavior, if any; otherwise, return null.

Parameters:

context - FacesContext for the request we are processing

Returns:

ClientBehaviorRenderer instance from the current RenderKit or null.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if context is null.

Since:

2.0
