Package javax.faces.component.visit

APIs for traversing a user interface component view.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
VisitCallback	A simple callback interface that enables taking action on a specific UIComponent (either facet or child) during a component tree visit.

Class Summary

Class	Description
VisitContext	A context object that is used to hold state relating to performing a component tree visit.
VisitContextFactory	Provide for separation of interface and implementation for the VisitContext contract.
VisitContextWrapper	Provides a simple implementation of VisitContext that can be subclassed by developers wishing to provide specialized behavior to an existing VisitContext instance.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
VisitHint	An enum that specifies hints that impact the behavior of a component tree visit.
VisitResult	An enum that specifies the possible results of a call to VisitCallback.visit(javax.faces.component.visit.VisitContext, javax.faces.component.UIComponent).

Package javax.faces.component.visit Description

APIs for traversing a user interface component view.

The following example visits all nodes in the view.

1. UIViewRoot root = facesContext.getViewRoot();
2. root.visitTree(VisitContext.createVisitContext(context),
3. new VisitCallback() {
4. public VisitResult visit(VisitContext context,
5. UIComponent target) {
6. // take some action on target
7. return VisitResult.ACCEPT;
8. }
9. });

The following example visits two subtrees within the component view.

1. Set<String> toVisit = getSet("form1:optionsPanel", "form2:detailPanel");
2. UIViewRoot root = facesContext.getViewRoot();
3. root.visitTree(VisitContext.createVisitContext(context, toVisit, null),
4. new VisitCallback() {
5. public VisitResult visit(VisitContext context,
6. UIComponent target) {
7. // take some action on target
8. return VisitResult.ACCEPT;
9. }
10. });

Note that every child node of those two subtrees is visited.
