javax.faces.lifecycle: abstract public class: LifecycleFactory

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

java.lang.Object
   javax.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:
FacesWrapper

LifecycleFactory is a factory object that creates (if needed) and returns Lifecycle instances. Implementations of JavaServer Faces must provide at least a default implementation of Lifecycle . Advanced implementations (or external third party libraries) MAY provide additional Lifecycle implementations (keyed by lifecycle identifiers) for performing different types of request processing on a per-request basis.

There must be one LifecycleFactory instance per web application that is utilizing JavaServer Faces. This instance can be acquired, in a portable manner, by calling:

  LifecycleFactory factory = (LifecycleFactory)
   FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.LIFECYCLE_FACTORY);

Field Summary
public static final String	DEFAULT_LIFECYCLE	The lifecycle identifier for the default Lifecycle instance for this JavaServer Faces implementation.

Method from javax.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleFactory Summary:
addLifecycle, getLifecycle, getLifecycleIds, getWrapped

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

Method from javax.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleFactory Detail:
abstract public void addLifecycle(String lifecycleId, Lifecycle lifecycle) Register a new Lifecycle instance, associated with the specified `lifecycleId`, to be supported by this `LifecycleFactory`. This method may be called at any time, and makes the corresponding Lifecycle instance available throughout the remaining lifetime of this web application.
abstract public Lifecycle getLifecycle(String lifecycleId) Create (if needed) and return a Lifecycle instance for the specified lifecycle identifier. The set of available lifecycle identifiers is available via the `getLifecycleIds()` method. Each call to `getLifecycle()` for the same `lifecycleId`, from within the same web application, must return the same Lifecycle instance.
abstract public Iterator<String> getLifecycleIds() Return an `Iterator` over the set of lifecycle identifiers supported by this factory. This set must include the value specified by `LifecycleFactory.DEFAULT_LIFECYCLE`.
public LifecycleFactory getWrapped() { return null; } If this factory has been decorated, the implementation doing the decorating may override this method to provide access to the implementation being wrapped. A default implementation is provided that returns `null`.
