Package javax.faces.view.facelets

This package contains public classes for the Java code API of Facelets.

See:
          Description

Interface Summary
AttributeHandler

An interface that allows other code to identify FaceletHandlers that correspond to component attributes.

BehaviorConfig

Convey the id of a behavior declared in a view.

ComponentConfig

Passed to the constructor of ComponentHandler.

ConverterConfig

A Facelet version of the JSP ConverterTag.

FaceletCache.MemberFactory<V>

Factory interface for creating Facelet or View Metadata Facelet instances.

FaceletHandler

This is the root class for markup elements in Facelets VDL.

FacetHandler

An interface that allows other code to identify FaceletHandlers that correspond to component facets.

TagConfig

Passed to the constructor of TagHandler subclass, it defines the document definition of the handler we are instantiating.

TagDecorator Provides the ability to completely change the Tag before it's processed for compiling with the associated TagHandler.
TextHandler

An interface that allows other code to identify FaceletHandlers that may provide text (String) content.

ValidatorConfig

Used in creating ValidatorHandler and all implementations.

 

Class Summary
BehaviorHandler

The FaceletHandler that corresponds to attached objects that represent an instance of ClientBehavior that must be added to the parent component, which must implement ClientBehaviorHolder, with a call to ClientBehaviorHolder.addClientBehavior(java.lang.String, javax.faces.component.behavior.ClientBehavior).

ComponentHandler

Public base class for markup element instances that map to UIComponent instances in the view.

CompositeFaceletHandler

A FaceletHandler that is derived of 1 or more, inner FaceletHandlers.

ConverterHandler

Handles setting a Converter instance on a ValueHolder parent.

DelegatingMetaTagHandler

Enable the JSF implementation to provide the appropriate behavior for the kind of MetaTagHandler subclass for each kind of element in the view, while providing a base-class from which those wanting to make a Java language custom tag handler can inherit.

FaceletCache<V>

This API defines the facility by which the Facelets ViewDeclarationLanguage creates and caches instances of Facelets.

FaceletCacheFactory

Allows customization of the implementation of FaceletCache.

FaceletContext

Context representative of a single request from a Facelet.

FaceletsAttachedObjectHandler

Root class for all tag handlers that represent attached objetcts in a Facelets page.

Metadata

There are concrete subclasses within the implementation that map concepts in the Facelet VDL page to JSF Java API calls the appropriate instances.

MetadataTarget

Information used with MetaRule for determining how and what Metadata should be wired.

MetaRule

The root class of the abstraction that dictates how attributes on a markup element in a Facelets VDL page are wired to the JSF API object instance associated with that element.

MetaRuleset

A mutable set of rules to be used in auto-wiring state to a particular object instance.

MetaTagHandler

Every kind of markup element in Facelets VDL that has attributes that need to take action on a JSF Java API artifact is associated with an instance of this class.

ResourceResolver

Provide a hook to decorate or override the way that Facelets loads template files.

Tag

The runtime must create an instance of this class for each element in the Facelets XHTML view.

TagAttribute

Representation of an XML attribute name=value pair on an XML element in a Facelet file.

TagAttributes

A set of TagAttributes, usually representing all attributes on a Tag.

TagHandler

Foundation class for FaceletHandlers associated with a markup element in a Facelet document.

TagHandlerDelegate

Abstract class that defines methods relating to helping tag handler instances.

TagHandlerDelegateFactory

Abstract factory for creating instances of TagHandlerDelegate.

ValidatorHandler

Handles setting a Validator instance on an EditableValueHolder parent.

 

Exception Summary
FaceletException

An Exception from the Facelet implementation

TagAttributeException

An Exception caused by a TagAttribute

TagException

An Exception caused by a Tag

 

Package javax.faces.view.facelets Description

This package contains public classes for the Java code API of Facelets. The vast majority of Facelets users have no need to access the Java API and can get all their work done using the tag-level API. These classes are provided for users that have a need for a Java API that allows participation in the execution of a Facelets View, which happens as a result of the runtime calling ViewDeclarationLanguage.buildView().

UML Class Diagram of classes in this package

The most common usecase for participating in the execution of a Facelets View is to provide a custom tag handler in those cases when the non-Java API methods for doing so is not sufficient. In such cases, Java classes may extend from ComponentHandler, BehaviorHandler, ConverterHandler, or ValidatorHandler depending upon the kind of JSF Java API artifact they want to represent in the Facelets VDL page.
