Summary

Java Class: | org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.component.core.nav.CoreSingleStepButtonBar |
Component Type: | org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.CoreSingleStepButtonBar |
Events and Listeners
SingleStepButtonBar implements javax.faces.component.ActionSource, which means it is a source of javax.faces.event.ActionEvent's.The ActionEvent is delivered during the Apply Request Values phase when navigating back, and during the Invoke Application phase when navigating forward.
The nextAction/previousAction attributes are of type MethodBinding and must (if non-null) point to an action method. The nextAction method will be called when navigating forward, and the previousAction method will be called when navigating back with a singleStep component.
JSF has a default javax.faces.event.ActionListener that passes the nextAction or previousAction outcome to the NavigationHandler.
The nextActionListener/previousActionListener attributes are of type MethodBinding and must (in non-null) point to a method accepting an ActionEvent, with a return type of void. When navigating to the previous step, then the previousActionListener method is called. When navigating to the next step, the nextActionListener method is called.
Code Example(s)
A simple example of a singleStepButtonBar.
<tr:form> <tr:singleStepButtonBar selectedStep="2" maxStep="5" previousAction="cart" nextAction="checkout"/> </tr:form>
Supported Client Events for Client Behaviors

Events
Type | Phases | Description |
---|---|---|
javax.faces.event.ActionEvent | Invoke Application, Apply Request Values |
Event delivered when the "action" of the component has been invoked; for example, by clicking on a button. The action may result in page navigation. |
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.AttributeChangeEvent | Invoke Application, Apply Request Values |
Event delivered to describe an attribute change. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change event might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing. |
Attributes
Name | Type | Supports EL? | Description |
---|---|---|---|
attributeChangeListener | javax.el.MethodExpression | Only EL | a method reference to an attribute change listener. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing. |
binding | org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.component.core.nav.CoreSingleStepButtonBar | Only EL | an EL reference that will store the component instance on a bean. This can be used to give programmatic access to a component from a backing bean, or to move creation of the component to a backing bean. |
id | String | No |
the identifier for the component. Every component may be named by a component identifier that must conform to the following rules:
|
inlineStyle | String | Yes | the CSS styles to use for this component. |
maxStep | int | Yes |
Default Value: -1 the last possible step. If this value is not known, it should be set to MAX_VALUE_UNKNOWN (-1), which is also the default value. If maxStep is MAX_VALUE_UNKNOWN, then no text is rendered between the Back/Next buttons. When maxStep is 2 and selectedStep is 1, then only a Continue button is rendered. |
nextAction | javax.faces.el.MethodBinding | Only EL | a reference to an action method that will be called when the singleStep component navigates to the next step, or the static outcome of the action. |
nextActionListener | javax.faces.el.MethodBinding | Only EL | a method reference to an action listener that will be called when the singleStep component navigates to the next step. |
onclick | String | Yes | an onclick Javascript handler. |
ondblclick | String | Yes | an ondblclick Javascript handler. |
onkeydown | String | Yes | an onkeydown Javascript handler. |
onkeypress | String | Yes | an onkeypress Javascript handler. |
onkeyup | String | Yes | an onkeyup Javascript handler. |
onmousedown | String | Yes | an onmousedown Javascript handler. |
onmousemove | String | Yes | an onmousemove Javascript handler. |
onmouseout | String | Yes | an onmouseout Javascript handler. |
onmouseover | String | Yes | an onmouseover Javascript handler. |
onmouseup | String | Yes | an onmouseup Javascript handler. |
partialTriggers | String[] | Yes |
the IDs of the components that should trigger a partial update.
This component will listen on the trigger components. If one of the trigger components receives an event that will cause it to update in some way, this component will request to be updated too. Separate multiple triggers with a space. e.g., partialTriggers="cmp1 cmp2" Identifiers must account for NamingContainers. You can use a single colon to start the search from the root, or use multiple colons to move up through the NamingContainer. For example, "::" will pop out of this component's naming container (it pops out of itself if it is a naming container), ":::" will pop out of two naming containers, etc. The search for the partialTrigger begins from there. e.g., partialTriggers=":::commandButton1" the search begins for the component with id = commandButton1 after popping out of two naming containers relative to this component. To go into naming containers, you separate the naming containers with ':', e.g.,partialTriggers= "nc1:nc2:nc3:componentId". |
previousAction | javax.faces.el.MethodBinding | Only EL | a reference to an action method that will be called when the singleStep component navigates to the previous step, or the static outcome of the action. |
previousActionListener | javax.faces.el.MethodBinding | Only EL | a method reference to an action listener that will be called when the singleStep component navigates to the previous step. |
rendered | boolean | Yes |
Default Value: true whether the component is rendered. When set to false, no output will be delivered for this component (the component will not in any way be rendered, and cannot be made visible on the client). If you want to change a component's rendered attribute from false to true using PPR, set the partialTrigger attribute of its parent component so the parent refreshes and in turn will render this component. |
selectedStep | int | Yes |
Default Value: 1 the current step. The valid range is 1 to maxStep. It defaults to 1. |
shortDesc | String | Yes | The short description of the component. This text is commonly used by user agents to display tooltip help text. |
styleClass | String | Yes | a CSS style class to use for this component. |
text | String | Yes | the text description of items being navigated. The default is "Step". |
