Method Detail

calculateViewId

String calculateViewId(FacesContext facesContext)

Calculates the view id from the given faces context by the following algorithm

• lookup the viewid from the request attribute "javax.servlet.include.path_info"
• if null lookup the value for viewid by ExternalContext.getRequestPathInfo()
• if null lookup the value for viewid from the request attribute "javax.servlet.include.servlet_path"
• if null lookup the value for viewid by ExternalContext.getRequestServletPath()
• if null throw a FacesException

processComponentBinding

void processComponentBinding(FacesContext facesContext,
                             UIComponent component)

Processes the component tree. For each component (including the given one) in the tree determine if a value expression for the attribute "binding" is defined. If the expression is not null set the component instance to the value of this expression

Parameters:

facesContext -

component - the root component

isPostback

boolean isPostback(FacesContext facesContext)

Determine if the current request is a post back by the following algorithm.

Find the render-kit-id for the current request by calling calculateRenderKitId() on the Application’s ViewHandler. Get that RenderKit’s ResponseStateManager and call its isPostback() method, passing the given FacesContext.

Parameters:

facesContext -

Returns:
