Interface TransientStateHelper

All Superinterfaces:

TransientStateHolder

public interface TransientStateHelper
extends TransientStateHolder

Define a Map-like contract that makes it easier for components to implement TransientStateHolder. Each UIComponent in the view will return an implementation of this interface from its UIComponent.getTransientStateHelper() method.

The values retrieved or saved through getTransient(java.lang.Object) or putTransient(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) will not be preserved between requests.

Since:

2.1

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Object	getTransient(Object key) Return the value currently associated with the specified key if any.
Object	getTransient(Object key, Object defaultValue) Performs the same logic as getTransient(java.lang.Object) } but if no value is found, this will return the specified defaultValue
Object	putTransient(Object key, Object value) Return the previously stored value and store the specified key/value pair.
