af:document document document

UIComponent class: oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.RichDocument
Component type: oracle.adf.RichDocument

The document component creates each of the standard root elements of an HTML page: <html>, <body>, and <head>, but by abstracting away from those components, can be used in non-HTML pages as well. Only one document component per page is allowed. Documents must not be placed inside of page templates.

Code Example(s)

<f:view>
  <af:document>
    <af:form> ... </af:form>
  </af:document>
</f:view>
   

Events

Type Phases Description
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 events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.

Supported Facets

Name Description
metaContainer Content to be rendered as meta data inside the "head" section.

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 oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.RichDocument 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.
clientComponent boolean Yes whether a client-side component will be generated. A component may be generated whether or not this flag is set, but if client Javascript requires the component object, this must be set to true to guarantee the component's presence. Client component objects that are generated today by default may not be present in the future; setting this flag is the only way to guarantee a component's presence, and clients cannot rely on implicit behavior. However, there is a performance cost to setting this flag, so clients should avoid turning on client components unless absolutely necessary.
customizationId String Yes This attribute is deprecated. The 'id' attribute should be used when applying persistent customizations. This attribute will be removed in the next release.
failedConnectionText String Yes the text that is displayed in an alert message when the XMLHttpRequest data transfer fails.When this is not set, we log a default message to the client-side error console.
Not supported on the following renderkits: org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.core
id String No the identifier for the component. The identifier must follow a subset of the syntax allowed in HTML:
  • Must not be a zero-length String.
  • First character must be an ASCII letter (A-Za-z) or an underscore ('_').
  • Subsequent characters must be an ASCII letter or digit (A-Za-z0-9), an underscore ('_'), or a dash ('-').
initialFocusId String Yes the id of the component that you want to have focus when the full page renders. Note that if you are setting the initialFocusId to a component that is not normally available when rendered on the client, then you will also need to set the clientComponent attribute on that component to 'true'. Also, be aware that initialFocusId will be ignored when accessibility-mode is set to "screenReader". This is because there may be interesting content at the beginning of the page, like text content or a header.

Identifiers are relative to the component, and must account for NamingContainers. You can use a single colon to start the search from the root, or multiple colons to move up through the NamingContainers - "::" will pop out of the component's naming container and begin the search from there, ":::" will pop out of two naming containers and begin the search from there, etc.


Not supported on the following agents: pda
inlineStyle String Yes the CSS styles to use for this component. This is intended for basic style changes. The inlineStyle is a set of CSS styles that are applied to the root DOM element of the component. If the inlineStyle's CSS properties do not affect the DOM element you want affected, then you will have to create a skin and use the skinning keys which are meant to target particular DOM elements, like ::label or ::icon-style.
maximized boolean Yes an attribute which if set to "true" (the default) will cause the page's outer-most margin and padding collapse to 0px. If the document is set to be maximized and if there is only a single effective visual root component, that component will stretch automatically to consume the browser's viewable area--if supported by that component. Examples of components that support this are panelStretchLayout and panelSplitter. As a convenience, the effective visual root component detection will also look inside the form component if it is a direct child of the document component and it will not count popups nor non-inline messages as visual root components.
Not supported on the following renderkits: org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.core
onunload String Yes an onunload Javascript handler.
Not supported on the following renderkits: oracle.adf.rich
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. Identifiers are relative to the source component (this component), and must account for NamingContainers. If your component is already inside of a naming container, you can use a single colon to start the search from the root of the page, or multiple colons to move up through the NamingContainers - "::" will pop out of the component's naming container (or itself if the component is a naming container) and begin the search from there, ":::" will pop out of two naming containers (including itself if the component is a naming container) and begin the search from there, etc.
rendered boolean Yes 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.
shortDesc String Yes the short description of the component. This text is commonly used by user agents to display tooltip help text, in which case the behavior for the tooltip is controlled by the user agent, e.g. Firefox 2 truncates long tooltips. For form components, the shortDesc is displayed in a note window. For components that support the helpTopicId attribute it is recommended that helpTopicId is used as it is more flexible and is more accessibility-compliant.
stateSaving String Yes Valid Values: default, client, server

Specify the state saving behavior for this page. client=force to be (full) client; server=force to be server-side; default=follows the settings of the web.xml
styleClass String Yes a CSS style class to use for this component. The style class can be defined in your jspx page or in a skinning CSS file, for example, or you can use one of our public style classes, like 'AFInstructionText'.
theme String Yes The component style theme to apply to this component. Themes are cascaded down through all child components. All HTML elements that are rendered by a rich component within a themed component will have the theme added to its list of style classes. Themes are not compatible with tonal styles and therefore only one method can be used per page (themes or tonal styles). A blank theme will remove the current theme, and a value of "inherit", null or not setting a theme will use the current theme. Skins are the sources of the the themes. Some skins may have no themed definitions. Suggested theme names include "dark", "medium", "light", and "default".
title String Yes the title of the document. (This title doesn't have to match the title on any contained panelPage.)
uncommittedDataWarning String Yes Valid Values: on, off

Specifies whether users should be warned about uncommitted data when navigating off the page or region. The default value is 'off' (warnings disabled). Setting this property to 'on' will enable the warnings.
Not supported on the following renderkits: org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.core
unsecure java.util.Set Yes A whitespace separated list of attributes whose values ordinarily can be set only on the server, but need to be settable on the client. Currently, this is supported only for the "disabled" attribute.
visible boolean Yes the visibility of the component. If it is "false", the component will be hidden on the client. Unlike "rendered", this does not affect the lifecycle on the server - the component may have its bindings executed, etc. - and the visibility of the component can be toggled on and off on the client, or toggled with PPR. When "rendered" is false, the component will not in any way be rendered, and cannot be made visible on the client. In most cases, use the "rendered" property instead of the "visible" property.
