/**
 * 

The Behavior interface is * the root API of the component behavior model. Behaviors are objects that * are attached to {@link UIComponent}s in order to enhance components with * functionality not explicitly defined by the component implementation itself. * The component behavior API is intended to support different types of * behavior contracts, and possibly different types of interactions between * behaviors and components. The first such contract is the * {@link ClientBehavior}, which defines a mechanism by which script-producing * behaviors attach scripts to components for execution on the client. In the * future other types of behavior contracts may be added.

* *

Like other attached objects (converters, validators) Behavior instances * are created via the {@link javax.faces.application.Application} object. See * {@link javax.faces.application.Application#createBehavior} for more details.
