public class UIGraphic
extends UIComponentBase

UIGraphic is a UIComponent that displays a graphical image to the user. The user cannot manipulate this component; it is for display purposes only.

By default, the rendererType property must be set to "javax.faces.Image". This value can be changed by calling the setRendererType() method.

Field Summary

static String	COMPONENT_FAMILY The standard component family for this component.

Constructor Summary

UIGraphic()
Create a new UIGraphic instance with default property values.

Method Summary

String	getFamily() Return the identifier of the component family to which this component belongs.

Object	getValue() Returns the value property of the UIGraphic.
ValueBinding	getValueBinding(String name) Deprecated. This has been replaced by getValueExpression(java.lang.String).
ValueExpression	getValueExpression(String name) Return any ValueExpression set for value if a ValueExpression for url is requested; otherwise, perform the default superclass processing for this method.
void	restoreState(FacesContext context, Object state) Perform any processing required to restore the state from the entries in the state Object.
Object	saveState(FacesContext context) Gets the state of the instance as a Serializable Object.
void	setUrl(String url) Set the image URL for this UIGraphic.
void	setValue(Object value) Sets the value property of the UIGraphic.
void	setValueBinding(String name, ValueBinding binding) Deprecated. This has been replaced by setValueExpression(java.lang.String, javax.el.ValueExpression).
void	setValueExpression(String name, ValueExpression binding) Store any ValueExpression specified for url under value instead; otherwise, perform the default superclass processing for this method.

Constructor Detail

UIGraphic

public UIGraphic()

Create a new UIGraphic instance with default property values.

Method Detail

getFamily

public String getFamily()

Description copied from class: UIComponent

Return the identifier of the component family to which this component belongs. This identifier, in conjunction with the value of the rendererType property, may be used to select the appropriate Renderer for this component instance.

Specified by:

getFamily in class UIComponent

getUrl

public String getUrl()

Return the image URL for this UIGraphic. This method is a typesafe alias for getValue().

setUrl

public void setUrl(String url)

Set the image URL for this UIGraphic. This method is a typesafe alias for setValue().

Parameters:

url - The new image URL

getValue

public Object getValue()

Returns the value property of the UIGraphic. This will typically be rendered as an URL.

setValue

public void setValue(Object value)

Sets the value property of the UIGraphic. This will typically be rendered as an URL.

Parameters:

value - the new value

getValueBinding

public ValueBinding getValueBinding(String name)

Deprecated. This has been replaced by getValueExpression(java.lang.String).

Return any ValueBinding set for value if a ValueBinding for url is requested; otherwise, perform the default superclass processing for this method.

Overrides:

getValueBinding in class UIComponentBase

Parameters:

name - Name of the attribute or property for which to retrieve a ValueBinding

Throws:

NullPointerException - if name is null

setValueBinding

public void setValueBinding(String name,
                            ValueBinding binding)

Deprecated. This has been replaced by setValueExpression(java.lang.String, javax.el.ValueExpression).

Store any ValueBinding specified for url under value instead; otherwise, perform the default superclass processing for this method. In all cases, the superclass is relied on to convert the ValueBinding to a ValueExpression.

Overrides:

setValueBinding in class UIComponentBase

Parameters:

name - Name of the attribute or property for which to set a ValueBinding

binding - The ValueBinding to set, or null to remove any currently set ValueBinding

Throws:

NullPointerException - if name is null

getValueExpression

public ValueExpression getValueExpression(String name)

Return any ValueExpression set for value if a ValueExpression for url is requested; otherwise, perform the default superclass processing for this method.

Overrides:

getValueExpression in class UIComponentBase

Parameters:

name - Name of the attribute or property for which to retrieve a ValueExpression

Throws:

NullPointerException - if name is null

Since:

1.2

setValueExpression

public void setValueExpression(String name,
                               ValueExpression binding)

Store any ValueExpression specified for url under value instead; otherwise, perform the default superclass processing for this method.

Overrides:

setValueExpression in class UIComponentBase

Parameters:

name - Name of the attribute or property for which to set a ValueExpression

binding - The ValueExpression to set, or null to remove any currently set ValueExpression

Throws:

NullPointerException - if name is null

Since:

1.2

saveState

public Object saveState(FacesContext context)

Description copied from interface: StateHolder

Gets the state of the instance as a Serializable Object.

If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.saveState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext) method on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is done via the StateManager

This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code:

 Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);
 

component should be the same as before executing it.

The return from this method must be Serializable

Specified by:

saveState in interface StateHolder

Overrides:

saveState in class UIComponentBase

restoreState

public void restoreState(FacesContext context,
                         Object state)

Description copied from interface: StateHolder

Perform any processing required to restore the state from the entries in the state Object.

If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that also implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.restoreState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object) method on all those instances as well.

Specified by:

restoreState in interface StateHolder

Overrides:

restoreState in class UIComponentBase
