void	processUpdates(FacesContext context) This isn't an input component, so just pass on the processUpdates call to child components and facets that might be input components.

void	restoreState(FacesContext context, Object state) Invoked in the "restore view" phase, this initialises this object's members from the values saved previously into the provided state object.
Object	saveState(FacesContext context) Invoked after the render phase has completed, this method returns an object which can be passed to the restoreState of some other instance of UIComponentBase to reset that object's state to the same values as this object currently has.

Method Detail

isSubmitted

public boolean isSubmitted()

setSubmitted

public void setSubmitted(boolean submitted)

processDecodes

public void processDecodes(FacesContext context)

Overrides:

processDecodes in class UIComponentBase

processValidators

public void processValidators(FacesContext context)

Overrides:

processValidators in class UIComponentBase

processUpdates

public void processUpdates(FacesContext context)

Description copied from class: UIComponentBase

This isn't an input component, so just pass on the processUpdates call to child components and facets that might be input components.

Components that were never rendered can't possibly be receiving update data (no corresponding fields were ever put into the response) so if this component is not rendered then this method does not invoke processUpdates on its children.

Overrides:

processUpdates in class UIComponentBase

saveState

public Object saveState(FacesContext context)

Description copied from class: UIComponentBase

Invoked after the render phase has completed, this method returns an object which can be passed to the restoreState of some other instance of UIComponentBase to reset that object's state to the same values as this object currently has.

Specified by:

saveState in interface StateHolder

Overrides:

saveState in class UIComponentBase

restoreState

public void restoreState(FacesContext context,
                Object state)

Description copied from class: UIComponentBase

Invoked in the "restore view" phase, this initialises this object's members from the values saved previously into the provided state object.

Specified by:

restoreState in interface StateHolder

Overrides:

restoreState in class UIComponentBase

state - is an object previously returned by the saveState method of this class.

getFamily

public String getFamily()

Specified by:

getFamily in class UIComponent

getContainerClientId

public String getContainerClientId(FacesContext ctx)

Overrides:

getContainerClientId in class UIComponent

isPrependId

public boolean isPrependId()

setPrependId

public void setPrependId(boolean prependId)
