ClientBehavior is the * base contract for {@link Behavior}s that attach script content to * client-side events exposed by {@link ClientBehaviorHolder} * components. Instances of ClientBehavior may be attached * to components that implement the {@link ClientBehaviorHolder} * contract by calling {@link ClientBehaviorHolder#addClientBehavior}. * Once a ClientBehavior has been attached to a {@link * ClientBehaviorHolder} component, the component calls {@link * #getScript} to obtain the behavior's script and the component wires * this up to the appropriate client-side event handler. Note that the * script content returned by this method is always in-line script * content. If the implementing class wants to invoke functions defined * in other script resources, the implementing class must use the * {@link javax.faces.application.ResourceDependency} or {@link * javax.faces.application.ResourceDependencies} annotation.
