autoSaveBehavior autosavebehavior

The autoSaveBehavior tag is a declarative way to be notified of component's dirty value in a set interval.

listener attribute needs to be bounded to a method with signature void myMethod(oracle.adf.view.rich.event.AutoSaveEvent)

Note at the end of the MethodExpression listener execution, FacesContext.renderResponse() will be invoked to keep what is displayed to the user and the server model's data in sync. So if the application desires to persist what is being displayed on the client, one should invoke component.setValue(dirtyValue) and update the model to sync the data on the client to the server's model. Furthermore, note that AutoSaveEvent.getType() returns two values.

• AutoSaveEvent.AutoSaveType.SAVE - which will provide the dirty value from the client side, AutoSaveEvent.getDirtyValue() will not be null
• AutoSaveEvent.AutoSaveType.DELETE - when component.updateModel is invoked, AutoSaveEvent.getDirtyValue() will be null; as it signifies if the app opted to store the value in a temporary location rather than updating the component by setValue and updating the model then it should clean it out.

Note: If EL is used in the EL supported attributes of this tag, this tag will not be stampable.
