This method creates a child UIComponent by using the provided LayoutComponent (descriptor).

Return a child with the specified component id (or facetName) from the specified component.

Return a child with the specified component id from the specified component.

This method finds or creates a child UIComponent identified by the given id.

Same as Util.getChild(UIComponent,String,String) except that it allows you to specify a facetName different than the id.

This method finds or creates a child UIComponent identified by the given id.

Same as Util.getChild(UIComponent,String,String,Properties) except that it allows you to specify a facetName different than the id.

This method finds or creates a child UIComponent identified by the given id.

Gets the form id from the containing UIForm.

Return whether the given UIComponent is "visible". If the property is null, it will return true.

This method will attempt to resolve EL strings in the given value.

This util method will set the given key/value on the UIComponent.

This method creates a child UIComponent by using the provided LayoutComponent (descriptor). It will associate the parent and the newly created UIComponent.

It is recommended that this method NOT be called from a Renderer. It should not be called if you have not yet checked to see if a child UIComponent with the requested ID already exists.

Return a child with the specified component id (or facetName) from the specified component. If not found, return null. facetName or id may be null to avoid searching the facet Map or the parent's children.

This method will NOT create a new UIComponent.

Return the base URI for the view identifier of the current view.

Return a child with the specified component id from the specified component. If not found, return null.

This method will NOT create a new UIComponent.

This method finds or creates a child UIComponent identified by the given id. If the child is not found, it will attempt to create it using the provided com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.util.factories.ComponentFactory (factoryClass).

If there are Properties to be set on the UIComponent, this method should generally be avoided. It is preferable to use the Util.getChild(UIComponent,String,String,Properties) form of getChild.

// Example (no properties):
UIComponent child = Util.getChild(component, "jklLabel", " com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.util.factories.LabelFactory com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.util.factories.LabelFactory ");
((Label)child).setText("JKL Label:");
((Label)child).setFor("jkl");

LayoutComponent.encodeChild(FacesContextUIComponent) LayoutComponent.encodeChild (context, child);

Same as Util.getChild(UIComponent,String,String) except that it allows you to specify a facetName different than the id. If null is supplied, it won't save the component as a facet.

This method finds or creates a child UIComponent identified by the given id. If the child is not found, it will attempt to create it using the provided com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.util.factories.ComponentFactory (factoryClass). It will also initialize the UIComponent using the provided set of Properties.

// Example (with properties):
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("text", "ABC Label:");
props.setProperty("for", "abc");
UIComponent child = Util.getChild(component, "abcLabel", " com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.util.factories.LabelFactory com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.util.factories.LabelFactory ", props);

LayoutComponent.encodeChild(FacesContextUIComponent) LayoutComponent.encodeChild (context, child);

Same as Util.getChild(UIComponent,String,String,Properties) except that it allows you to specify a facetName different than the id. If null is supplied, it won't save the component as a facet.

This method finds or creates a child UIComponent identified by the given id. If the child is not found, it will attempt to create it using the provided LayoutComponent (descriptor). It will also initialize the UIComponent using the options set on the LayoutComponent .

If parent implements ChildManager , then the responsibility of finding and creating the child will be delegated to the ChildManager UIComponent.

If you are constructing and populating a LayoutComponent before calling this method, there are a few features that should be noted. Besides id and type which can be set in the LayoutComponent constructor, you can also set options, and com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.util.event.Handler 's.

Options may be set via LayoutComponent.setOptions(Map) . These options will be applied to the UIComponent and may also be used by the com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.util.factories.ComponentFactory while instantiating the UIComponent.

com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.util.event.Handler 's can be supplied by calling LayoutComponent.setHandlers(StringList) . The type must match the event name which invokes the List of handlers you provide. The Renderer for this UIComponent is responsible for declaring and dispatching events. com.sun.rave.web.ui.renderer.template.TemplateRenderer will invoke beforeCreate and afterCreate events for each child it creates (such as the one being requested here).

// Example (with LayoutComponent):
ComponentType type = new ComponentType.ComponentType(StringString) ComponentType ("LabelFactory", " com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.util.factories.LabelFactory com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.util.factories.LabelFactory ");
LayoutComponent descriptor = new LayoutComponent.LayoutComponent(LayoutElementStringComponentType) LayoutComponent (null, "abcLabel", type);
LayoutComponent.addOption(StringObject) descriptor.addOption ("text", "ABC Label:");
LayoutComponent.addOption(StringObject) descriptor.addOption ("for", "abc");
UIComponent child = Util.getChild(component, descriptor);

LayoutComponent.encodeChild(FacesContextUIComponent) LayoutComponent.encodeChild (context, child);

Return an absolute URL to our server and context path.

Helper method to obtain containing UIForm.

Gets the form id from the containing UIForm.

Return whether the given UIComponent is "visible". If the property is null, it will return true. Otherwise the value of the property is returned.

This method will attempt to resolve EL strings in the given value.

This util method will set the given key/value on the UIComponent. It will resolve all $...{...} expressions, and convert the String into a ValueBinding if a ValueBinding is detected. The return value will be a ValueBinding or the value.
