Method Detail

decode

public void decode(FacesContext context,
                   UIComponent component)

encodeBegin

public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context,
                        UIComponent component)
                 throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

encodeChildren

public void encodeChildren(FacesContext context,
                           UIComponent component)
                    throws IOException

Render all children if there are any. Note: this will only be called if getRendersChildren() returns true. A component which has a renderer with getRendersChildren() set to true will typically contain the rendering logic for its children in this method.

Parameters:

context -

component -

Throws:

IOException

encodeEnd

public void encodeEnd(FacesContext context,
                      UIComponent component)
               throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

convertClientId

public String convertClientId(FacesContext context,
                              String clientId)

getRendersChildren

public boolean getRendersChildren()

Switch for deciding who renders the children.

Returns:

true - if the component takes care of rendering its children. In this case, encodeChildren() ought to be called by the rendering controller (e.g., the rendering controller could be the method encodeAll() in UIComponent). In the method encodeChildren(), the component should therefore provide all children encode logic.
false - if the component does not take care of rendering its children. In this case, encodeChildren() should not be called by the rendering controller. Instead, the children-list should be retrieved and the children should directly be rendered by the rendering controller one by one.

getConvertedValue

public Object getConvertedValue(FacesContext context,
                                UIComponent component,
                                Object submittedValue)
                         throws ConverterException

Throws:

ConverterException
