/**
*
* Public base class for markup element instances that map to
* {@link UIComponent} instances in the view.
*
*
*
*
*
* Instances of this class are created and passed to
* {@link TagHandlerDelegateFactory#createComponentHandlerDelegate} when a tag corresponding to this particular
* component is encountered in a Facelet view. A custom tag handler for a component, converter, validator, or behavior
* must extend from this class. In this way, this instance acts as a delegate for the implementation private tag
* handler. Such a subclass may choose to override as many or as few methods from this base class as desired. If the
* subclass wants to completely override the action of the implementation specific tag for which this component is the
* delegate, it must override the apply() method and make it take the following actions, in this
* order. These actions must only happen the first time this facelet is applied for each user. Subsequent
* applications must take no action.
*
*
*
*
* -
*
* The UIComponent represented by this element is created with the appropriate
* Application.createComponent() method.
*
*
*
* -
*
* Each attribute specified in the markup is correctly applied to the component instance, as specified in the VDLDocs
* for this element.
*
*
*
* -
*
* If project stage is {@link jakarta.faces.application.ProjectStage#Development}, Put the
* {@link jakarta.faces.view.Location} for this element into the component attribute Map under the key
* given by the value of the symbolic constant {@link jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent#VIEW_LOCATION_KEY}.
*
*
*
* -
*
* Set the id of the component. If the id is specified manually by the page author, that value must be set as the id.
* Otherwise, the closest ancestor component that is an instance of {@link jakarta.faces.component.UniqueIdVendor} must
* be located and its {@link jakarta.faces.component.UniqueIdVendor#createUniqueId} method must be called to derive the
* id. If no such instance can be found, call {@link jakarta.faces.component.UIViewRoot#createUniqueId} to derive the
* id.
*
*
*
* -
*
* The rendererType property of the component is set properly.
*
*
*
* -
*
* {@link #onComponentCreated} is called.
*
*
*
* -
*
* {@link UIComponent#pushComponentToEL} is called on the newly created component.
*
*
*
* -
*
* The next handler in the facelet chain is applied. This will cause the component to be populated with children.
*
*
*
* -
*
* The component is added to its parent in the view.
*
*
*
* -
*
* {@link UIComponent#popComponentFromEL} is called on the newly created component.
*
*
*
* -
*
* Call {@link UIComponent#markInitialState}.
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
* A common use case for extending this class is to gain access to the process by which the Facelets runtime creates
* component instances corresponding to markup in a Facelets view. These three methods are useful in such cases.
*
*
*
*
* -
*
* To control the instantiation of the UIComponent instance, subclasses may override
* {@link #createComponent}. If this method is not overridden, the tag handler for which this instance is the delegate
* will take the necessary action to instantiate the UIComponent.
*
*
*
* -
*
* To be notified of creation of the UIComponentinstance, subclasses may override
* {@link #onComponentCreated}.
*
*
*
* -
*
* To be notified that the freshly created UIComponent instance has been populated with children as a
* result of execution of child tag handlers, subclasses may override {@link #onComponentPopulated}.
*
*
