Render an HTML "a" anchor element. The value of the component is rendered as the anchor text and the outcome of the component is used to determine the target URL rendered in the "href" attribute. Execute the Algorithm to obtain the URL to which the user-agent should issue a GET request when clicked.
Any child UIParameter
components
whose disable
property is false
are appended to the String to be
output as the value of the "href" attribute as query parameters before
rendering. The entire "href" string must be passed through a call to
the encodeResourceURL()
method of the
ExternalContext
. The name of the UIParameter
goes on the left hand side, and the value of the
UIParameter
on the right hand side. The name and the value
must be URLEncoded. Note that
the required url encoding is handled by
ResponseWrter.writeAttribute()
. Each
UIParameter
instance is separated by an ampersand, as
dictated in the URL spec. If the "fragment" attribute is specified, the
value will be included at the end of the resulting URL preceded by a
hash mark. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value
as the value of the "class" attribute.
If the "id" attribute is specified, follow the same steps as mentioned in the "General Notes on Encoding" regarding the "id" attribute for UIInput components. If the "disabled" attribute is specified, do not render the HTML "a" anchor element or the "href" element. Instead, render a "span" element. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "span". Render any pass-through attributes on the "span".
This renderer is responsible for rendering its children.
Attributes with a pass-through
value of
true
are not interpreted by the renderer and are passed
straight through to the rendered markup, without checking for validity. Attributes with a
pass-through
value of false
are interpreted
by the renderer, and may or may not be checked for validity by the renderer.
