Class PostAddToViewEvent

javax.faces.event.SystemEvent

javax.faces.event.ComponentSystemEvent

javax.faces.event.PostAddToViewEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class PostAddToViewEvent
extends ComponentSystemEvent

When an instance of this event is passed to SystemEventListener.processEvent(javax.faces.event.SystemEvent) or ComponentSystemEventListener.processEvent(javax.faces.event.ComponentSystemEvent), the listener implementation may assume that the source of this event instance is a UIComponent instance and that either that instance or an ancestor of that instance was just added to the view. Therefore, the implementation may assume it is safe to call UIComponent.getParent(), UIComponent.getClientId(), and other methods that depend upon the component instance being added into the view.

The implementation must guarantee that Application.publishEvent(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Class<? extends javax.faces.event.SystemEvent>, java.lang.Object) is called, immediately after any UIComponent instance is added to the view hierarchy except in the case where ResponseStateManager.isPostback(javax.faces.context.FacesContext) returns true at the same time as FacesContext.getCurrentPhaseId() returns PhaseId.RESTORE_VIEW. When both of those conditions are met, Application.publishEvent(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Class<? extends javax.faces.event.SystemEvent>, java.lang.Object) must not be called.

The implementation must guarantee that Application.publishEvent(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Class<? extends javax.faces.event.SystemEvent>, java.lang.Object) is called in the following cases.

• Upon the initial construction of the view, when each instance is added to the view.

• On a non-initial rendering of the view, if a component is added to the view by the View Declaration Language implememtation as a result of changes in evaluation result of EL expressions referenced by VDL tags such as c:if, ui:include, and other tags that dynamically influence the assembly of the view.

• If a component is programmatically added to the view using the Java API directly. For example, user code manually adds children using comp.getChildren().add(), where comp is a UIComponent.

Constructor Detail

PostAddToViewEvent

public PostAddToViewEvent(UIComponent component)

Instantiate a new PostAddToViewEvent that indicates the argument component was just added to the view.

Parameters:

component - the UIComponent that has just been added to the view.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the argument is null.

PostAddToViewEvent

public PostAddToViewEvent(FacesContext facesContext,
                          UIComponent component)

Parameters:

facesContext - the Faces context.

component - the UIComponent that has just been added to the view.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the argument is null.

Method Detail

isAppropriateListener

public boolean isAppropriateListener(FacesListener listener)

Returns true if and only if the argument listener is an instance of SystemEventListener.

Overrides:

isAppropriateListener in class ComponentSystemEvent

Parameters:

listener - the faces listener.

Returns:

true if it is an appropriate listener, false otherwise.
