Child triggers are setup in the site structure to drill down an element inheritance hierarchy according to value changes in inputs or cookies. This will happen both when values are sent by a client and when values are set by an element.

By registering an instance of a ElementChildTrigger class, it's possible to only allow the child to be activated according to certain conditions. This can for instance be used to validate an authentication session identifier, and only allow the child activation if the identifier is valid and not expired.

You are not allowed to access any information of the element context state besides the name and values of the child trigger variable.

You are not allowed to access any information of the element context state besides the name and values of the child trigger variable. These are provided to you as method arguments. If you do try to access other state information, the engine will throw a com.uwyn.rife.engine.exceptions.RequestAccessDeniedException exception. This is needed to be able to record all the child triggers that occurred. The engine uses this information to replay child triggers automatically during subsequent requests and access a child element directly if all child triggers are still successful.
Parameters:
  name - the name of the child trigger variable
Parameters:
  values - the values of the child trigger variable true if the child element can be executed; or

false if the logic should continue in the element thatactivated the child trigger
