Mojarra 2.4.0 · javax.faces.lifecycle.ClientWindow

This class represents a client window, which may be a browser tab, browser window, browser pop-up, portlet, or anything else that can display a javax.faces.component.UIComponent hierarchy rooted at a javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot.

Modes of Operation

none mode

The generation of ClientWindow is controlled by the value of the context-param named by the value of CLIENT_WINDOW_MODE_PARAM_NAME. If this context-param is not specified, or its value is "none", no ClientWindow instances will be generated, and the entire feature is effectively disabled for the entire application.

Other modes

To accomadate the widest possible range of implementation choices to support this feature, explicit names for modes other than "none" and "url" are not specified. However, for all values of CLIENT_WINDOW_MODE_PARAM_NAME, the lifetime of a ClientWindow starts on the first request made by a particular client window (or tab, or pop-up, etc) to the JSF runtime and persists as long as that window remains open or the session expires, whichever comes first. A client window is always associated with exactly one UIViewRoot instance at a time, but may display many different UIViewRoots during its lifetime.

The ClientWindow instance is associated with the incoming request during the Lifecycle#attachWindow method. This method will cause a new instance of ClientWindow to be created, assigned an id, and passed to javax.faces.context.ExternalContext#setClientWindow.

During state saving, regardless of the window id mode, or state saving mode, for ajax and non-ajax requests, a hidden field must be written whose name, id and value are given as specified in javax.faces.render.ResponseStateManager#CLIENT_WINDOW_PARAM.

In addition to the hidden field already described. The runtime must ensure that any component that renders a hyperlink that causes the user agent to send a GET request to the Faces server when it is clicked has a query parameter with a name and value specified in ResponseStateManager#CLIENT_WINDOW_URL_PARAM. This requirement is met by several of the "encode" methods on javax.faces.context.ExternalContext. See javax.faces.context.ExternalContext#encodeActionURL(java.lang.String) for details.

CLIENT_WINDOW_MODE_PARAM_NAME	back to summary
public static final String CLIENT_WINDOW_MODE_PARAM_NAME The context-param that controls the operation of the `ClientWindow` feature. The runtime must support the values "none" and "url", without the quotes, but other values are possible. If not specified, or the value is not understood by the implementation, "none" is assumed. Since 2.2

public static final String CLIENT_WINDOW_MODE_PARAM_NAME

The context-param that controls the operation of the ClientWindow feature. The runtime must support the values "none" and "url", without the quotes, but other values are possible. If not specified, or the value is not understood by the implementation, "none" is assumed.

decode back to summary

decode	back to summary
public abstract void decode(FacesContext context) The implementation is responsible for examining the incoming request and extracting the value that must be returned from the `getId` method. If `CLIENT_WINDOW_MODE_PARAM_NAME` is "none" this method must not be invoked. If `CLIENT_WINDOW_MODE_PARAM_NAME` is "url" the implementation must first look for a request parameter under the name given by the value of `javax.faces.render.ResponseStateManager#CLIENT_WINDOW_PARAM`. If no value is found, look for a request parameter under the name given by the value of `javax.faces.render.ResponseStateManager#CLIENT_WINDOW_URL_PARAM`. If no value is found, fabricate an id that uniquely identifies this `ClientWindow` within the scope of the current session. This value must be made available to return from the `getId` method. The value must be suitable for inclusion as a hidden field or query parameter. If a value is found, decrypt it using the key from the session and make it available for return from `getId`. Parameters context:FacesContext the `FacesContext` for this request. Since 2.2

public abstract void decode(FacesContext context)

The implementation is responsible for examining the incoming request and extracting the value that must be returned from the getId method. If CLIENT_WINDOW_MODE_PARAM_NAME is "none" this method must not be invoked. If CLIENT_WINDOW_MODE_PARAM_NAME is "url" the implementation must first look for a request parameter under the name given by the value of javax.faces.render.ResponseStateManager#CLIENT_WINDOW_PARAM. If no value is found, look for a request parameter under the name given by the value of javax.faces.render.ResponseStateManager#CLIENT_WINDOW_URL_PARAM. If no value is found, fabricate an id that uniquely identifies this ClientWindow within the scope of the current session. This value must be made available to return from the getId method. The value must be suitable for inclusion as a hidden field or query parameter. If a value is found, decrypt it using the key from the session and make it available for return from getId.

disableClientWindowRenderMode back to summary

disableClientWindowRenderMode	back to summary
public void disableClientWindowRenderMode(FacesContext context) Components that permit per-use disabling of the appending of the ClientWindow in generated URLs must call this method first before rendering those URLs. The caller must call `enableClientWindowRenderMode(javax.faces.context.FacesContext)` from a `finally` block after rendering the URL. If `CLIENT_WINDOW_MODE_PARAM_NAME` is "url" without the quotes, all generated URLs that cause a GET request must append the ClientWindow by default. This is specified as a static method because callsites need to access it without having access to an actual `ClientWindow` instance. Parameters context:FacesContext the `FacesContext` for this request. Since 2.2

getQueryURLParameters back to summary

getQueryURLParameters	back to summary
public abstract Map<String, String> getQueryURLParameters(FacesContext context) This method will be called whenever a URL is generated by the runtime where client window related parameters need to be inserted into the URL.

The returned map must be immutable. The default implementation of this method returns the empty map. Parameters context:FacesContext the `FacesContext` for this request. Returns:Map<String, String> `null` or a map of parameters to insert into the URL query string. Since 2.2
