Interface ComponentInitializer

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractHtmlCoreComponentsComponentInitializer

@InvocationOrderSupport
public interface ComponentInitializer

Allows to initialize components before UIComponent.encodeBegin(javax.faces.context.FacesContext).
e.g.: you can add information for client-side validation mechanisms,... MetaDataTransformers are used to convert specific information of constraints to a generic representation. A ComponentInitializer is just aware of the generic data. E.g. a ComponentInitializer doesn't have to care if the information was provided by @Length or @Size. But a ComponentInitializer has to be aware of specific JSF component types. Typically there is one ComponentInitializer per JSF component lib.
