javax.faces.lifecycle
abstract public class: Lifecycle [javadoc | source]

java.lang.Object
   javax.faces.lifecycle.Lifecycle

Lifecycle manages the processing of the entire lifecycle of a particular JavaServer Faces request. It is responsible for executing all of the phases that have been defined by the JavaServer Faces Specification, in the specified order, unless otherwise directed by activities that occurred during the execution of each phase.

An instance of Lifecycle is created by calling the getLifecycle() method of LifecycleFactory , for a specified lifecycle identifier. Because this instance is shared across multiple simultaneous requests, it must be implemented in a thread-safe manner.

Method from javax.faces.lifecycle.Lifecycle Summary:
addPhaseListener, execute, getPhaseListeners, removePhaseListener, render

Methods from java.lang.Object:
clone, equals, finalize, getClass, hashCode, notify, notifyAll, toString, wait, wait, wait

Method from javax.faces.lifecycle.Lifecycle Detail:
abstract public void addPhaseListener(PhaseListener listener) Register a new PhaseListener instance that is interested in being notified before and after the processing for standard phases of the request processing lifecycle.
abstract public void execute(FacesContext context) throws FacesException Execute all of the phases of the request processing lifecycle, up to but not including the Render Response phase, as described in the JavaServer Faces Specification, in the specified order. The processing flow can be affected (by the application, by components, or by event listeners) by calls to the `renderResponse()` or `responseComplete()` methods of the FacesContext instance associated with the current request.
abstract public PhaseListener[] getPhaseListeners() Return the set of registered PhaseListener s for this Lifecycle instance. If there are no registered listeners, a zero-length array is returned.
abstract public void removePhaseListener(PhaseListener listener) Deregister an existing PhaseListener instance that is no longer interested in being notified before and after the processing for standard phases of the request processing lifecycle. If no such listener instance has been registered, no action is taken.
abstract public void render(FacesContext context) throws FacesException Execute the Render Response phase of the request processing lifecycle, unless the `responseComplete()` method has been called on the FacesContext instance associated with the current request.
