Field Summary

static Pattern	CC_ATTRS_METHOD_EXPRESSION_REGEX A regular expression used to determine if cc.attrs is used as a method expression in an expression String.
static Pattern	CC_EXPRESSION_REGEX A regular expression used to determine if cc is used in an expression String.
static String	CC_FIND_COMPONENT_EXPRESSION
static String	CURRENT_COMPOSITE_COMPONENT_KEY The key under which the current composite component is stored in the attribute map of the FacesContext.
static String	LOCATION_KEY The key under which the Location of the composite componente is stored in the attributes map of the component by InterfaceHandler.

Method Summary

static UIComponent	getCompositeComponentBasedOnLocation(FacesContext facesContext, Location location) Try to find a composite component on the composite component stack and using UIComponent.getCurrentCompositeComponent() based on the location of the facelet page that generated the composite component.
static boolean	isCompositeComponentAttrsMethodExpression(String expression) Tests if cc.attrs is used as a method expression in an expression String.
static boolean	isCompositeComponentExpression(String expression) Tests if the expression refers to the current composite component: #{cc}
static void	removeCompositeComponentForResolver(FacesContext facesContext) Removes the composite component from the attribute map of the FacesContext.
static void	saveCompositeComponentForResolver(FacesContext facesContext, Location location) Trys to get the composite component using getCompositeComponentBasedOnLocation() and saves it in an attribute on the FacesContext, which is then used by CompositeComponentImplicitObject.

Field Detail

CURRENT_COMPOSITE_COMPONENT_KEY

public static final String CURRENT_COMPOSITE_COMPONENT_KEY

The key under which the current composite component is stored in the attribute map of the FacesContext.

LOCATION_KEY

public static final String LOCATION_KEY

The key under which the Location of the composite componente is stored in the attributes map of the component by InterfaceHandler.

CC_EXPRESSION_REGEX

public static final Pattern CC_EXPRESSION_REGEX

A regular expression used to determine if cc is used in an expression String.

CC_ATTRS_METHOD_EXPRESSION_REGEX

public static final Pattern CC_ATTRS_METHOD_EXPRESSION_REGEX

A regular expression used to determine if cc.attrs is used as a method expression in an expression String. This means cc.attrs must occur, must stand before a '(', because otherwise it would be a method parameter (EL 2.2), and there must be no '.' after cc.attrs unless there is a left parenthesis before it (e.g. #{cc.attrs.method(bean.parameter)}). Explanation of the parts: - [^\\(]* - There can be any character except a '(' before cc.attrs - [^\\w\\.\\(] - There must be no word character, dot, or left parenthesis directly before cc.attrs - cc\\.attrs\\. - "cc.attrs." must occur - [^\\.]* - There must be no dot after cc.attrs to indicate a method invocation on cc.attrs - (\\(.*)? - If there is a left paranthesis after cc.attrs, a dot is allowed again

CC_FIND_COMPONENT_EXPRESSION

public static final String CC_FIND_COMPONENT_EXPRESSION

Method Detail

getCompositeComponentBasedOnLocation

public static UIComponent getCompositeComponentBasedOnLocation(FacesContext facesContext,
                                                               Location location)

Try to find a composite component on the composite component stack and using UIComponent.getCurrentCompositeComponent() based on the location of the facelet page that generated the composite component.

Parameters:

facesContext -

location -

Returns:

saveCompositeComponentForResolver

public static void saveCompositeComponentForResolver(FacesContext facesContext,
                                                     Location location)

Trys to get the composite component using getCompositeComponentBasedOnLocation() and saves it in an attribute on the FacesContext, which is then used by CompositeComponentImplicitObject.

Parameters:

facesContext -

location -

removeCompositeComponentForResolver

public static void removeCompositeComponentForResolver(FacesContext facesContext)

Removes the composite component from the attribute map of the FacesContext.

Parameters:

facesContext -

isCompositeComponentExpression

public static boolean isCompositeComponentExpression(String expression)

Tests if the expression refers to the current composite component: #{cc}

Returns:

isCompositeComponentAttrsMethodExpression

public static boolean isCompositeComponentAttrsMethodExpression(String expression)

Tests if cc.attrs is used as a method expression in an expression String. This means cc.attrs must occur, must stand before a '(', because otherwise it would be a method parameter (EL 2.2), and there must be no '.' after cc.attrs unless there is a left parenthesis before it (e.g. #{cc.attrs.method(bean.parameter)}).

Parameters:

expression -

Returns:
