Class PartialViewContext

java.lang.Object
javax.faces.context.PartialViewContext
Direct Known Subclasses:
PartialViewContextWrapper
public abstract class PartialViewContext extends Object

PartialViewContext contains methods and properties that pertain to partial request processing and partial response rendering on a view.

The PartialViewContext instance is used to determine if the current request indicates the requirement to perform partial processing and/or partial rendering. Partial processing is the processing of selected components through the execute portion of the request processing lifecycle. Partial rendering is the rendering of specified components in the Render Response Phase of the request processing lifecycle.

      public abstract List<String> getEvalScripts()

      Returns a mutable List of scripts to be evaluated in client side on complete of ajax request.

      Returns:
      A mutable List of scripts to be evaluated in client side on complete of ajax request.
      Throws:

      Since:
      2.3

    • getPartialResponseWriter

      public abstract PartialResponseWriter getPartialResponseWriter()

      IllegalStateException - if this method is called after this instance has been released
      Since:
      2.0

    • isAjaxRequest

      public abstract boolean isAjaxRequest()

      Return true if the request header Faces-Request is present with the value partial/ajax. Otherwise, return false.

      Returns:
      whether or not this is an ajax request
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if this method is called after this instance has been released
      Since:
      2.0

    • isPartialRequest

      public abstract boolean isPartialRequest()

      Return true isAjaxRequest() returns true or if the request header Faces-Request is present with the value partial/process. Otherwise, return false.

      Returns:
      whether or not this request is partial

    • isExecuteAll

      public abstract boolean isExecuteAll()

      Return true if isAjaxRequest() returns true and PARTIAL_EXECUTE_PARAM_NAME is present in the current request with the value ALL_PARTIAL_PHASE_CLIENT_IDS. Otherwise, return false.

      Returns:
      whether or not this is an execute all request

    • processPartial

      public abstract void processPartial(PhaseId phaseId)

      Perform lifecycle processing on components during the indicated phaseId. Only those components with identifiers existing in the Collection returned from getExecuteIds() and getRenderIds() will be processed.

      When the indicated phaseId equals PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE, then perform the following tasks in sequence:

      1. If isResetValues() returns true, then call UIViewRoot.resetValues(FacesContext, Collection), passing getRenderIds().
      2. If isRenderAll() returns false, then render any component resource of UIViewRoot whose ResourceHandler.getRendererTypeForResourceName(String) does not return null, and whose UIComponent.getChildCount() is zero, and whose ResourceHandler.isResourceRendered(FacesContext, String, String) returns false, in an update element with an identifier of javax.faces.Resource.
      3. Process the components.
      4. Obtain the state by calling StateManager.getViewState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext) and write it out as an update element with an identifier of <VIEW_ROOT_CONTAINER_CLIENT_ID><SEP>javax.faces.ViewState where <VIEW_ROOT_CONTAINER_CLIENT_ID> is the return from UIComponent.getContainerClientId(FacesContext) on the view from whence this state originated, and <SEP> is the currently configured UINamingContainer.getSeparatorChar(FacesContext).
      5. If isRenderAll() returns false, then write out each script of getEvalScripts() as an eval element.
      Parameters:
      phaseId - the PhaseId that indicates the lifecycle phase the components will be processed in.
