Method Detail

getActionURL

public URL getActionURL(FacesContext context)
                 throws MalformedURLException

Construct an absolute URL to this NavigationCase instance using ViewHandler.getActionURL(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String) on the path portion of the url.

Parameters:

context - the FacesContext for the current request

Returns:

the action URL.

Throws:

MalformedURLException - if the process of constructing the URL causes this exception to be thrown.

getResourceURL

public URL getResourceURL(FacesContext context)
                   throws MalformedURLException

Construct an absolute URL to this NavigationCase instance using ViewHandler.getResourceURL(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String) on the path portion of the url.

Parameters:

context - the FacesContext for the current request

Returns:

the resource URL.

Throws:

MalformedURLException - if the process of constructing the URL causes this exception to be thrown.

getRedirectURL

public URL getRedirectURL(FacesContext context)
                   throws MalformedURLException

Construct an absolute URL suitable for a "redirect" to this NavigationCase instance using ViewHandler.getRedirectURL(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String, java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.util.List<java.lang.String>>, boolean) on the path portion of the url.

Parameters:

context - the FacesContext for the current request

Returns:

MalformedURLException - if the process of constructing the URL causes this exception to be thrown.

getFromViewId

public String getFromViewId()

Return the <from-view-id> of the <navigation-rule> inside which this <navigation-case> is nested.

Returns:

the from viedId.

getFromAction

public String getFromAction()

Return the <from-action> for this <navigation-case>

Returns:

the from action.

getFromOutcome

public String getToViewId(FacesContext context)

Evaluates the <to-view-id> for this <navigation-case>

Parameters:

context - the FacesContext for the current request

Returns:

the view ID that should be navigated to

getToFlowDocumentId

public String getToFlowDocumentId()

If this navigation case represents a flow invocation, this property is the documentId in which the flow whose id is given by the return from getFromOutcome() is defined.

Returns:

the toFlow documentId.

Since:

2.2

hasCondition

public boolean hasCondition()

Test if this navigation case has an associated <if> element.

Returns:

true if there's an <if> element associated with this <navigation-case>, otherwise false

getCondition

public Boolean getCondition(FacesContext context)

Evaluates the <if> for this <navigation-case>, if any. The expression to be evaluated is passed into the constructor as a string. When the expression is evaluated, its value must be coerced into a boolean per the normal EL coercion rules.

Note throws any exceptions encountered during the process of evaluating the expression or obtaining its value.

Parameters:

context - the FacesContext for the current request

Returns:

null if there is no <if> element associated with this <navigation-case>, otherwise return the evaluation result of the condition

getParameters

the list of parameters, or null

isRedirect

Returns:

true if this is a redirect, false otherwise.

isIncludeViewParams

public boolean isIncludeViewParams()

Return the <redirect> value for this <navigation-case>. This will be true if the view parametets should be encoded into the redirect URL (only applies to redirect case)

Returns:

true if view parameters are to be included, false otherwise.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:
