The implementation must support retargeting attached objects from the top level compsite component to targets that are composite and non-composite components.

An implementation is provided that will throw UnsupportedOperationException. A Faces implementation compliant with version 2.0 and beyond of the specification must override this method.

Parameters

context:FacesContext: the FacesContext for this request.
topLevelComponent:UIComponent: The UIComponent in the view to which the attached objects must be attached. This UIComponent must have its component metadata already associated and available from via the JavaBeans API.
handlers:List<AttachedObjectHandler>: the tag handlers for the attached objects

public void retargetMethodExpressions(FacesContext context, UIComponent topLevelComponent) Overrides javax.faces.view.ViewDeclarationLanguage.retargetMethodExpressions. Doc from javax.faces.view.ViewDeclarationLanguage.retargetMethodExpressions. Assuming the component metadata for argument `topLevelComponent` has been made available by an earlier call to `ViewDeclarationLanguage#getComponentMetadata`, leverage the component metadata for the purpose of re-targeting any method expressions from the top level component to the appropriate inner component. For each attribute that is a `MethodExpression` (as indicated by the presence of a "`method-signature`" attribute and the absence of a "`type`" attribute), the following action must be taken: Get the value of the targets attribute. If the value is a `ValueExpression` evaluate it. If there is no targets attribute, let the name of the metadata element be the evaluated value of the targets attribute. Interpret targets as a space (not tab) separated list of ids. For each entry in the list: Find the inner component of the topLevelComponent with the id equal to the current list entry. For discussion, this component is called target. If not found, log and error and continue to the next attribute. For discussion the declared name of the attribute is called name. In the attributes map of the topLevelComponent, look up the entry under the key name. Assume the result is a `ValueExpression`. For discussion, this is attributeValueExpression. If not found, log an error and continue to the next attribute. If name is equal to the string "action", or "actionListener" without the quotes, assume target is an `javax.faces.component.ActionSource2`. If name is equal to the string "validator", or "valueChangeListener" without the quotes, assume target is an `javax.faces.component.EditableValueHolder`. Call `getExpressionString()` on the attributeValueExpression and use that string to create a `MethodExpression` of the appropriate signature for name. If name is not equal to any of the previously listed strings, call `getExpressionString()` on the attributeValueExpression and use that string to create a `MethodExpression` where the signature is created based on the value of the "`method-signature`" attribute of the `<composite:attribute />` tag. Let the resultant `MethodExpression` be called attributeMethodExpression for discussion. If name is equal to the string "action" without the quotes, call `javax.faces.component.ActionSource2#setActionExpression` on target, passing attributeMethodExpression. If name is equal to the string "actionListener" without the quotes, call `javax.faces.component.ActionSource#addActionListener` on target, passing attributeMethodExpression wrapped in a `javax.faces.event.MethodExpressionActionListener`. If name is equal to the string "validator" without the quotes, call `javax.faces.component.EditableValueHolder#addValidator` on target, passing attributeMethodExpression wrapped in a `javax.faces.validator.MethodExpressionValidator`. If name is equal to the string "valueChangeListener" without the quotes, call `javax.faces.component.EditableValueHolder#addValueChangeListener` on target, passing attributeMethodExpression wrapped in a `javax.faces.event.MethodExpressionValueChangeListener`. Otherwise, assume that the `MethodExpression` should be placed in the components attribute set. The runtme must create the `MethodExpression` instance based on the value of the "`method-signature`" attribute. An implementation is provided that will throw `UnsupportedOperationException`. A Faces implementation compliant with version 2.0 and beyond of the specification must override this method. Parameters context:FacesContext the FacesContext for this request. topLevelComponent:UIComponent The UIComponent in the view to which the attached objects must be attached.
