Enum Constant Detail

BREADTH

public static final Broadcast BREADTH

Breadth first traversal. Supported sinks in order of traversal:

1. Application
2. Session
3. RequestCycle
4. Page
5. Components

Components receive the event with a preorder breadth-first traversal, eg: Apply recursively:

1. The component receives the event
2. The component's children receive the event

Any sink along the path can be specified and traversal will start with the specified sink as root, eg:

• If a component inside the page is specified then only the component and all its children will receive the event
• If Session is specified then the session, the request cycle, the page and all its components will receive the event

DEPTH

public static final Broadcast DEPTH

Depth first traversal. Supported sinks in order of traversal:

1. Components
2. Page
3. RequestCycle
4. Session
5. Application

Components receive the event with a postorder depth-first traversal, eg: Apply recursively:

1. The component's children receive the event
2. The component receives the event

Any sink along the path can be specified and traversal will start with the specified sink as root, eg:

• If a component inside the page is specified then only the component and all its children will receive the event
• If Session is specified then the session, the request cycle, the page and all its components will receive the event

BUBBLE

public static final Broadcast BUBBLE

A bubble-up traversal. In a bubble-up traversal only the sink and its parents are notified. Supported sinks in order of traversal are:

1. Components
2. Page
3. RequestCycle
4. Session
5. Application

Any sink along the path can be specified and traversal will start at the specified sink and work its way up to the Application, eg:

• If a component inside the page is specified then only the component, its parents, the request cycle, the session, and the application will be notified.
• If Session is specified then the session, the application will be notified

EXACT

public static final Broadcast EXACT

Only the specified sink receives the event

Method Detail

values

public static Broadcast[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Broadcast c : Broadcast.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Broadcast valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
