component-family: javax.faces.Form renderer-type: javax.faces.Form
Renders an HTML "form" element.
Decode Behavior
Obtain the Map
from the "requestParameterMap"
property of the ExternalContext
. If the map contains
an entry for the "clientId" of this UIForm
component,
call setSubmitted(true)
on the form, otherwise call
setSubmitted(false)
on the form.
Encode Behavior
The value of the "method" attribute must be "post". The value
of the "action" attribute must be the result of passing the view
identifier of the current view to the getActionURL()
method of the ViewHandler
for this application, then
passing that String to the encodeActionURL()
method
on the ExternalContext
. The value of the acceptcharset
attribute must be rendered as the value of "accept-charset".
If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the
value of the "class" attribute. Render a "name"
attribute with a value the same as the "id" attribute as described
in "General Notes on
Encoding" regarding the "id" attribute for UIInput
components.
Obtain the UIViewRoot view identifier
and
use it to obtain an action URL
by calling ViewHandler.getActionURL
.
Use the action URL
to obtain an encoded action URL
by calling
ExternalContext.encodeActionURL
. Obtain an
encoded partial action URL
by calling
ExternalContext.encodePartialActionURL
using action URL
as the argument.
Compare the result from ExternalContext.encodePartialActionURL
with the
value from ExternalContext.encodeActionURL()
. If they are different,
render a hidden field with the name javax.faces.encodedURL
and the value
of this hidden field as the value from ExternalContext.encodePartialActionURL
.
Call ViewHandler.writeState()
before the the close of the "form" element.
Render all the necessary hidden fields
for all commandLink instances in the page just before the close of the "form" element.
Just before rendering the closing </form>
element tag, render
any resources that have been targeted for this form:
- Obtain a
UIViewRoot
instance.
- Obtain a
List
of component resources targeted for
this form with a call to UIViewRoot.getComponentResources()
with the String "form"
as the argument.
- Iterate over the returned
List
of UIComponent
instances
and call encodeAll
on each UIComponent
instance.
This renderer is responsible for rendering its children.
Note:
Attributes with a pass-through
value of
true
are not interpreted by the renderer and are passed
straight through to the rendered markup, without checking for validity. Attributes with a
pass-through
value of false
are interpreted
by the renderer, and may or may not be checked for validity by the renderer.
