setValueStore the specified object as the "local value" of this component. The value-binding named "value" (if any) is ignored; the object is only stored locally on this component. During the "update model" phase, if there is a value-binding named "value" then this local value will be stored via that value-binding and the "local value" reset to null.- Specified by:
- setValuein interface- ValueHolder
- Overrides:
- setValuein class- UIOutput
 
- 
getValueReturn the current value of this component.If a submitted value has been converted but not yet pushed into the model, then return that locally-cached value (see isLocalValueSet). Otherwise, evaluate an EL expression to fetch a value from the model.- Specified by:
- getValuein interface- ValueHolder
- Overrides:
- getValuein class- UIOutput
- Returns:
- the new value value
 
- 
processDecodesSet the "submitted value" of this component from the relevant data in the current servlet request object.If this component is not rendered, then do nothing; no output would have been sent to the client so no input is expected. Invoke the inherited functionality, which typically invokes the renderer associated with this component to extract and set this component's "submitted value". If this component is marked "immediate", then immediately apply validation to the submitted value found. On error, call context method "renderResponse" which will force processing to leap to the "render response" phase as soon as the "decode" step has completed for all other components. - Overrides:
- processDecodesin class- UIComponentBase
 
- 
processValidators- Overrides:
- processValidatorsin class- UIComponentBase
 
- 
processUpdatesDescription copied from class:UIComponentBaseThis isn't an input component, so just pass on the processUpdates call to child components and facets that might be input components.Components that were never rendered can't possibly be receiving update data (no corresponding fields were ever put into the response) so if this component is not rendered then this method does not invoke processUpdates on its children. - Overrides:
- processUpdatesin class- UIComponentBase
 
- 
decodeDescription copied from class:UIComponentBaseCheck the submitted form parameters for data associated with this component. This default implementation delegates to this component's renderer if there is one, and otherwise ignores the call.- Overrides:
- decodein class- UIComponentBase
 
- 
broadcastDescription copied from class:UIComponentBaseInvoke any listeners attached to this object which are listening for an event whose type matches the specified event's runtime type.This method does not propagate the event up to parent components, ie listeners attached to parent components don't automatically get called. If any of the listeners throws AbortProcessingException then that exception will prevent any further listener callbacks from occurring, and the exception propagates out of this method without alteration. ActionEvent events are typically queued by the renderer associated with this component in its decode method; ValueChangeEvent events by the component's validate method. In either case the event's source property references a component. At some later time the UIViewRoot component iterates over its queued events and invokes the broadcast method on each event's source object. - Overrides:
- broadcastin class- UIComponentBase
- Parameters:
- event- must not be null.
- Throws:
- AbortProcessingException
 
- 
updateModel
- 
validateValue
- 
validateDetermine whether the new value is valid, and queue a ValueChangeEvent if necessary.The "submitted value" is converted to the necessary type; conversion failure is reported as an error and validation processing terminates for this component. See documentation for method getConvertedValue for details on the conversion process. Any validators attached to this component are then run, passing the converted value. The old value of this component is then fetched (possibly involving the evaluation of a value-binding expression, ie invoking a method on a user object). The old value is compared to the new validated value, and if they are different then a ValueChangeEvent is queued for later processing. On successful completion of this method: - isValid() is true
- isLocalValueSet() is true
- submittedValue is reset to null
- a ValueChangeEvent is queued if the new value != old value
 
- 
getConvertedValueprotected Object getConvertedValue(FacesContext context, Object submittedValue) throws ConverterException Convert the provided object to the desired value.If there is a renderer for this component, then call the renderer's getConvertedValue method. While this can of course be implemented in any way the renderer desires, it typically performs exactly the same processing that this method would have done anyway (ie that described below for the no-renderer case). Otherwise: - If the submittedValue is not a String then just return the submittedValue unconverted.
- If there is no "value" value-binding then just return the submittedValue unconverted.
- Use introspection to determine the type of the target property specified by the value-binding, and then use Application.createConverter to find a converter that can map from String to the required type. Apply the converter to the submittedValue and return the result.
 - Throws:
- ConverterException

resetValuepublic void resetValue()Description copied from interface:EditableValueHolderConvenience method to reset this component's value to an uninitialized state, by resetting the local value and submitted values to null (ensuring thatEditableValueHolder.isLocalValueSet()is false), and setting "valid" to true.- Specified by:
- resetValuein interface- EditableValueHolder
- Overrides:
- resetValuein class- UIOutput
- Since:
- 1.2
 
- 
isImmediate@JSFProperty public boolean isImmediate()A boolean value that identifies the phase during which action events should fire.During normal event processing, action methods and action listener methods are fired during the "invoke application" phase of request processing. If this attribute is set to "true", these methods are fired instead at the end of the "apply request values" phase. - Specified by:
- isImmediatein interface- EditableValueHolder
 
- 
setImmediatepublic void setImmediate(boolean immediate) - Specified by:
- setImmediatein interface- EditableValueHolder
 
- 
isRequired@JSFProperty(defaultValue="false") public boolean isRequired()A boolean value that indicates whether an input value is required.If this value is true and no input value is provided by a postback operation, then the "requiredMessage" text is registered as a FacesMessage for the request, and validation fails. Default value: false. - Specified by:
- isRequiredin interface- EditableValueHolder
 
-

- setValidin interface- EditableValueHolder
 
- 
isLocalValueSet@JSFProperty(defaultValue="false", tagExcluded=true) public boolean isLocalValueSet()Specifies whether a local value is currently set.If false, values are being retrieved from any attached ValueBinding. - Specified by:
- isLocalValueSetin interface- EditableValueHolder
 
- 
setLocalValueSetpublic void setLocalValueSet(boolean localValueSet) Description copied from interface:EditableValueHolderSpecify the return value of method isLocalValueSet. This is called after the local value member has been set from the converted and validated "submitted value". It is cleared after that value has been pushed to the user model via the value-binding named "value".- Specified by:
- setLocalValueSetin interface- EditableValueHolder
 
- 
getSubmittedValueGets the current submitted value. This value, if non-null, is set by the Renderer to store a possibly invalid value for later conversion or redisplay, and has not yet been converted into the proper type for this component instance. This method should only be used by the decode() and validate() method of this component, or its corresponding Renderer; however, user code may manually set it to null to erase any submitted value.- Specified by:
- getSubmittedValuein interface- EditableValueHolder
 
- 
setSubmittedValueDescription copied from interface:EditableValueHolderInvoked during the "decode" phase of processing to inform this component what data was received from the user.In many cases the submitted value is a plain string extracted from the current servlet request object. In cases where a component is rendered as multiple input components (eg a calendar control with separate day/month/year fields), the submittedValue may be some custom object wrapping the data. However the provided object must be able to represent all possible user input values, not just valid ones. - Specified by:
- setSubmittedValuein interface- EditableValueHolder
