public class UIOutput
extends UIComponentBase
implements ValueHolder

UIOutput is a UIComponent that has a value, optionally retrieved from a model tier bean via a value expression, that is displayed to the user. The user cannot directly modify the rendered value; it is for display purposes only.

During the Render Response phase of the request processing lifecycle, the current value of this component must be converted to a String (if it is not already), according to the following rules:

By default, the rendererType property must be set to "javax.faces.Text". This value can be changed by calling the setRendererType() method.

Field Detail

COMPONENT_TYPE

public static final java.lang.String COMPONENT_TYPE

The standard component type for this component.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

COMPONENT_FAMILY

public static final java.lang.String COMPONENT_FAMILY

The standard component family for this component.

See Also:
Constant Field Values
Constructor Detail

UIOutput

public UIOutput()

Create a new UIOutput instance with default property values.

Method Detail

getFamily

public java.lang.String getFamily()
Description copied from class: UIComponent

Return the identifier of the component family to which this component belongs. This identifier, in conjunction with the value of the rendererType property, may be used to select the appropriate Renderer for this component instance.

Specified by:
getFamily in class UIComponent

getConverter

public Converter getConverter()
Description copied from interface: ValueHolder

Return the Converter (if any) that is registered for this UIComponent.

Specified by:
getConverter in interface ValueHolder

setConverter

public void setConverter(Converter converter)
Description copied from interface: ValueHolder

Set the Converter (if any) that is registered for this UIComponent.

Specified by:
setConverter in interface ValueHolder
Parameters:
converter - New Converter (or null)

getLocalValue

public java.lang.Object getLocalValue()
Description copied from interface: ValueHolder

Return the local value of this UIComponent (if any), without evaluating any associated ValueExpression.

Specified by:
getLocalValue in interface ValueHolder

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()
Description copied from interface: ValueHolder

Gets the value of this UIComponent. If validation failed, as indicated by FacesContext.isValidationFailed() returning true, always return the local value. Otherwise, first, consult the local value property of this component. If non-null return it. If null, see if we have a ValueExpression for the value property. If so, return the result of evaluating the property, otherwise return null. Note that because the specification for UIComponent#setValueBinding requires a call through to UIComponent#setValueExpression, legacy tags will continue to work.

Specified by:
getValue in interface ValueHolder

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.Object value)
Description copied from interface: ValueHolder

Set the value of this UIComponent (if any).

Specified by:
setValue in interface ValueHolder
Parameters:
value - The new local value

markInitialState

public void markInitialState()

In addition to the actions taken in UIComponentBase when PartialStateHolder#markInitialState() is called, check if the installed Converter is a PartialStateHolder and if it is, call PartialStateHolder.markInitialState() on it.

Specified by:
markInitialState in interface PartialStateHolder
Overrides:
markInitialState in class UIComponentBase

clearInitialState

public void clearInitialState()
Description copied from class: UIComponentBase

For each of the attached objects on this instance that implement PartialStateHolder, call PartialStateHolder#clearInitialState on the attached object.

Specified by:
clearInitialState in interface PartialStateHolder
Overrides:
clearInitialState in class UIComponentBase

saveState

public java.lang.Object saveState(FacesContext context)
Description copied from interface: StateHolder

Gets the state of the instance as a Serializable Object.

If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.saveState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext) method on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is done via the StateManager

This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code:

 Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);
 

component should be the same as before executing it.

The return from this method must be Serializable

Specified by:
saveState in interface StateHolder
Overrides:
saveState in class UIComponentBase

restoreState

public void restoreState(FacesContext context,
                         java.lang.Object state)
Description copied from interface: StateHolder

Perform any processing required to restore the state from the entries in the state Object.

If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that also implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.restoreState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object) method on all those instances as well.

If the state argument is null, take no action and return.

Specified by:
restoreState in interface StateHolder
Overrides:
restoreState in class UIComponentBase
