Field Detail

clientIds

protected transient IContentProvider clientIds

IContentProvider to map raw control ids to client-side element ids.

initialized

protected transient boolean initialized

boolean to check if the Bean is initialized.

Constructor Detail

BaseViewBean

public BaseViewBean()

Default constructor

Method Detail

release

protected void release()

Description copied from class: BaseFacesSessionBean

Override this method to release any resources associated with this session. Please note, the FacesContext is not valid for this function

Specified by:

release in class BaseFacesSessionBean

streamFileDataToResponse

protected void streamFileDataToResponse(IFileExportBean exportBean)

Helper method that can be called to stream an exported file back to the response.

Parameters:

exportBean - the bean describing the file to export

beforePhase

public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent event)

Implementation method of the JSF phase listener. Should not be subclassed by the clients directly. Specific beforeXXX methods should be used instead to perform actions during required JSF phases.

Parameters:

event - JSF phase even

callInitialize

protected void callInitialize()

Initializes the bean if not already done.

initialize

protected String initialize()

This gets overwritten in the page bean classes to be a public dataflow method implementation

Returns:

OUTCOME_OK for success and OUTCOME_ERROR otherwise

afterPhase

public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent event)

Implementation method of the JSF phase listener. Should not be subclassed by the clients directly. Specific afterXXX methods should be used instead to perform actions during required JSF phases.

Parameters:

event - JSF PhaseEvent

getPhaseId

public PhaseId getPhaseId()

Returns PhaseId#ANY_PHASE which indicates all standard phases.

PhaseListener

gotoPage

public void gotoPage(String pageURI)

Deprecated. use BaseViewBean.gotoPage(String, boolean) instead.

Sets the specified view page URI on the faces context for rendering. This method should be called inside an action method to set the page URI for the next rendering request.

Parameters:

pageURI - the uri of the page, for example: /portlet1/mypage.view

gotoPage

public void gotoPage(String pageURI,
                     boolean redirect)

Switches to the specified view page. If redirect is false it will simply change the faces context view root to the contents of the specified viewId. If redirect is true, it will redirect to the URL of the specified view. This method should be called inside an action method to set the page URI for the next rendering request.

Parameters:

pageURI - the uri of the page, for example: /portlet1/mypage.view

redirect - true to redirect to the page, false to just change the FacesContext view root

findComponent

public UIComponent findComponent(UIComponent base,
                                 String id)

Return the UIComponent (if any) with the specified id, searching recursively starting at the specified base, and examining the base component itself, followed by examining all the base component's facets and children. Unlike findComponent method of UIComponentBase, which skips recursive scan each time it finds a NamingContainer, this method examines all components, regardless of their namespace (assuming IDs are unique).

Parameters:

base - Base UIComponent from which to search

id - Component identifier to be matched

Returns:

UI component or null if not found

findComponentInRoot

public UIComponent findComponentInRoot(String id)

Finds components by its id in the root of the component tree.

Parameters:

id - the component id

Returns:

UIComponent or null if not found

getClientIds

public IContentProvider getClientIds()

Maps raw control ids to client-side element ids.

For example, #{myPageBean.clientIds.myControlId} returns the client-side id (ie "wmp1234:zID3:myControlId") for the control with an id of 'myControlId'.

Returns:

instance of the IContentProvider for ID mapping.

isAsyncRequest

public boolean isAsyncRequest()

Returns true if current request is an async request.

Returns:

true for async request

getRealPath

protected static String getRealPath(String relPath)

Returns a full system path for a resource path given relative to the web application root.

Parameters:

relPath - relative path of the web resource

Returns:

String for full system path of this resource, or null if it cannot be calculated

getApplicationScope

protected Map getApplicationScope()

Returns writable map of application scoped attributes

Returns:

Map <String, Object> of attributes

getRequestParam

protected Map getRequestParam()

Returns read-only map of request parameters

Returns:

Map <String, Object> of parameters

getRequestScope

protected Map getRequestScope()

Returns writable map of request scoped attributes

Returns:

Map <String, Object> of attributes

getSessionScope

protected Map getSessionScope()

Returns writable map of session scoped attributes. For portlets the session scope is private, i.e. per portlet instance.

Returns:

Map <String, Object> of attributes
