UIViewParameter represents a binding between a request parameter and a model property or UIViewRoot property. This is a bi-directional binding.

The javax.faces.view.ViewDeclarationLanguage implementation must cause an instance of this component to appear in the view for each occurrence of an <f:viewParam /> element placed inside of an <f:metadata /> element. The user must place this facet within the UIViewRoot.

Because this class extends UIInput any actions that one would normally take on a UIInput instance are valid for instances of this class. Instances of this class participate in the regular JSF lifecycle, including on Ajax requests.

submittedValue)

Overrides javax.faces.component.UIInput.getConvertedValue.

Because this class has no Renderer, leverage the one from the standard HTML_BASIC RenderKit with component-family: javax.faces.Input and renderer-type: javax.faces.Text and call its Renderer#getConvertedValue method.

rawValueback to summary

The raw value is the "implicit" binding for this view parameter. This property maintains the submitted value of the view parameter for the duration of the request. If the view parameter does not explicitly specify a value expression, then when the request ends, this value is stored with the state of this component to use as the submitted value on an ensuing postback.

public void processValidators(FacesContext context)

Overrides javax.faces.component.UIInput.processValidators.

This will cause the normal validation processing to happen, including bean validation.

Parameters
context:FacesContext
