ALL_IDS	back to summary
public static final Collection<String> ALL_IDS This unmodifiable Collection is returned by `getIdsToVisit()` and `getSubtreeIdsToVisit()` in cases where all ids should be visited. To simplify logic for `visitTree()` implementations, this Collection always returns `false` for `isEmpty`. All other methods throw `UnsupportedOperationException`. Since 2.0

createVisitContext back to summary

createVisitContext	back to summary
public static VisitContext createVisitContext(FacesContext context) Creates a VisitContext instance for use with `UIComponent.visitTree()`. This method can be used to obtain a VisitContext instance when all components should be visited with the default visit hints. Parameters context:FacesContext the FacesContext for the current request Returns:VisitContext a VisitContext instance

public static VisitContext createVisitContext(FacesContext context)

Creates a VisitContext instance for use with UIComponent.visitTree(). This method can be used to obtain a VisitContext instance when all components should be visited with the default visit hints.

Parameters

context:FacesContext: the FacesContext for the current request

Returns:VisitContext

a VisitContext instance

getFacesContext	back to summary
public abstract FacesContext getFacesContext() Returns the FacesContext for the current request. Returns:FacesContext the FacesContext. Since 2.0

getFacesContext

back to summary

public abstract FacesContext getFacesContext()

Returns the FacesContext for the current request.

Returns:FacesContext: the FacesContext.
Since: 2.0

getHints back to summary

getHints	back to summary
public abstract Set<VisitHint> getHints() Returns hints that influence the behavior of the tree visit. Interested parties, such as `UIComponent.visitTree()` implementations, may check to see whether a particular hint is present by calling `VisitContext.getHints().contains()`, passing in one of the hints defined by `VisitHint`. Returns:Set<VisitHint> a non-empty, unmodifiable collection of VisitHints

public abstract Set<VisitHint> getHints()

Returns hints that influence the behavior of the tree visit.

Interested parties, such as UIComponent.visitTree() implementations, may check to see whether a particular hint is present by calling VisitContext.getHints().contains(), passing in one of the hints defined by VisitHint.

Returns:Set<VisitHint>: a non-empty, unmodifiable collection of VisitHints

getIdsToVisit	back to summary
public abstract Collection<String> getIdsToVisit() Returns the ids of the components to visit. In the case of a full tree visit, this method returns the ALL_IDS collection. Otherwise, if a partial visit is beign performed, returns a modifiable collection containing the client ids of the components that should be visited. Returns:Collection<String> the ids of the components to visit

getIdsToVisit

back to summary

public abstract Collection<String> getIdsToVisit()

Returns the ids of the components to visit.

In the case of a full tree visit, this method returns the ALL_IDS collection. Otherwise, if a partial visit is beign performed, returns a modifiable collection containing the client ids of the components that should be visited.

Returns:Collection<String>: the ids of the components to visit

getSubtreeIdsToVisit back to summary

getSubtreeIdsToVisit	back to summary
public abstract Collection<String> getSubtreeIdsToVisit(UIComponent component) Given a `javax.faces.component.NamingContainer` component, returns the client ids of any components underneath the NamingContainer that should be visited. This method is called by NamingContainer visitTree() implementations to determine whether the NamingContainer contains components to be visited. In the case where no such components exist, the NamingContainer can short-circuit the tree visit and avoid descending into child subtrees. In addition, iterating components such as UIData may be able to use the returned ids to determine which iterated states (ie. rows) need to be visited. This allows the visit traversal to be contstrained such only those rows that contain visit targets need to be traversed. Parameters component:UIComponent a NamingContainer component Returns:Collection<String> an unmodifiable Collection containing the client ids of any components underneath the NamingContainer that are known to be targets of the tree visit. If no such components exist, returns an empty Collection. If all components underneath the NamingContainer should be visited, returns the `VisitContext.ALL_IDS` collection. Exceptions IllegalArgumentException: if `component` is not an instance of NamingContainer

public abstract Collection<String> getSubtreeIdsToVisit(UIComponent component)

Given a javax.faces.component.NamingContainer component, returns the client ids of any components underneath the NamingContainer that should be visited.

This method is called by NamingContainer visitTree() implementations to determine whether the NamingContainer contains components to be visited. In the case where no such components exist, the NamingContainer can short-circuit the tree visit and avoid descending into child subtrees.

In addition, iterating components such as UIData may be able to use the returned ids to determine which iterated states (ie. rows) need to be visited. This allows the visit traversal to be contstrained such only those rows that contain visit targets need to be traversed.

Parameters

component:UIComponent: a NamingContainer component

Returns:Collection<String>

an unmodifiable Collection containing the client ids of any components underneath the NamingContainer that are known to be targets of the tree visit. If no such components exist, returns an empty Collection. If all components underneath the NamingContainer should be visited, returns the VisitContext.ALL_IDS collection.

Exceptions

IllegalArgumentException:: if component is not an instance of NamingContainer
