Constructor Detail

SystemEvent

public SystemEvent(Object source)

Pass the argument source to the superclass constructor.

Parameters:

source - the source reference to be passed to the superclass constructor.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the argument is null.

SystemEvent

public SystemEvent(FacesContext facesContext,
                   Object source)

Pass the argument source to the superclass constructor.

Parameters:

facesContext - the Faces context.

source - the source reference to be passed to the superclass constructor.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the argument is null.

Method Detail

getFacesContext

public FacesContext getFacesContext()

Get the Faces context.

If the constructor was passed a FacesContext we return it, otherwise we call FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() and return it.

Returns:

the Faces context.

Since:

2.3

isAppropriateListener

public boolean isAppropriateListener(FacesListener listener)

Return true if this FacesListener is an instance of a the appropriate listener class that this event supports. The default implementation returns true if the listener is a ComponentSystemEventListener.

Parameters:

listener - FacesListener to evaluate

Returns:

the result as specified above

processListener

public void processListener(FacesListener listener)

Broadcast this event instance to the specified FacesListener, by whatever mechanism is appropriate. Typically, this will be accomplished by calling an event processing method, and passing this instance as a parameter.

Parameters:

listener - FacesListener to send this FacesEvent to

Throws:

AbortProcessingException - Signal the JavaServer Faces implementation that no further processing on the current event should be performed
