Interface FacesComponentDefinition

All Superinterfaces:

FacesDefinition, FacesExtensibleNode

All Known Subinterfaces:

FacesCompositeComponentDefinition

public interface FacesComponentDefinition
extends FacesDefinition

A definition for a class implementing UIComponent.

The method FacesDefinition.getDefaultProperty() always returns "children" for a FacesComponentDefinition.

A FacesComponentDefinition's parent is always either null or a FacesComponentDefinition.

A FacesComponentDefinitions parent will be either its FacesDefinition.getTagName() or, if that is null, its getComponentType()

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getComponentFamily() The component-family, either defined for this component, or inherited from it's parent component.
java.lang.String	getComponentType() The component-type defined for this component.
FacesFacet	getFacet(java.lang.String facetName)
java.util.Collection<java.lang.String>	getFacetNames() Lists the component's non-inherited expected facets.
java.lang.String	getRendererType() The renderer-type defined for this component.

Method Detail

getComponentType

java.lang.String getComponentType()

The component-type defined for this component.

getRendererType

java.lang.String getRendererType()

The renderer-type defined for this component.

getComponentFamily

java.lang.String getComponentFamily()

The component-family, either defined for this component, or inherited from it's parent component.

getFacetNames

java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> getFacetNames()

Lists the component's non-inherited expected facets. To get the full list of facets that are expected, aggregate the facets on this component, its ancestors, and the per-renderkit renderers associated with the component. Note that there is no runtime restriction on the facets that may be placed in a component, so other facets may be specified in the final component.

getFacet

FacesFacet getFacet(java.lang.String facetName)

Parameters:

facetName -

Returns:

The Facet that corresponds to the provided name. Null if none is found.
