Application (Apache MyFaces JSF-2.2 Core API 2.2.12 API)

java.lang.Object
- javax.faces.application.Application

Direct Known Subclasses:

ApplicationWrapper
```
public abstract class Application
extends Object
```
Application represents a per-web-application singleton object where applications based on JavaServer Faces (or implementations wishing to provide extended functionality) can register application-wide singletons that provide functionality required by JavaServer Faces. Default implementations of each object are provided for cases where the application does not choose to customize the behavior.

The instance of Application is created by calling the getApplication() method of ApplicationFactory. Because this instance is shared, it must be implemented in a thread-safe manner.
Holds webapp-wide resources for a JSF application. There is a single one of these for a web application, accessable via
```
 FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication()
 
```
In particular, this provides a factory for UIComponent objects. It also provides convenience methods for creating ValueBinding objects. See Javadoc of JSF Specification

    Register a new mapping of converter id to the name of the corresponding Converter class. This allows subsequent calls to createConverter() to serve as a factory for Converter instances.
    
    Parameters:
    converterId - - The converterId to be registered

```
public void addELContextListener(javax.el.ELContextListener listener)
```
    Provide a way for Faces applications to register an ELContextListener that will be notified on creation of ELContext instances.
    
    An implementation is provided that throws UnsupportedOperationException so that users that decorate the Application continue to work.
    
    Since:
    
    1.2
  - addELResolver
```
public void addELResolver(javax.el.ELResolver resolver)
```
    Cause an the argument resolver to be added to the resolver chain as specified in section 5.5.1 of the JavaServer Faces Specification.
    
    It is not possible to remove an ELResolver registered with this method, once it has been registered.
    
    It is illegal to register an ELResolver after the application has received any requests from the client. If an attempt is made to register a listener after that time, an IllegalStateException must be thrown. This restriction is in place to allow the JSP container to optimize for the common case where no additional ELResolvers are in the chain, aside from the standard ones. It is permissible to add ELResolvers before or after initialization to a CompositeELResolver that is already in the chain.
    
    The default implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException and is provided for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend Application.
    
    Since:
    
    1.2

```
public abstract Converter createConverter(Class<?> targetClass)
```
    Instantiate and return a new Converter instance of the class that has registered itself as capable of performing conversions for objects of the specified type. If no such Converter class can be identified, return null.
    
    To locate an appropriate Converter class, the following algorithm is performed, stopping as soon as an appropriate Converter class is found: Locate a Converter registered for the target class itself. Converter registered for interfaces that are implemented by the target class (directly or indirectly). Locate a Converter registered for the superclass (if any) of the target class, recursively working up the inheritance hierarchy.
    
    If the Converter has a single argument constructor that accepts a Class, instantiate the Converter using that constructor, passing the argument targetClass as the sole argument. Otherwise, simply use the zero-argument constructor.
    
    Parameters:
    targetClass - - Target class for which to return a Converter
    
    Throws:
    
    FacesException - if the Converter cannot be created
    
    NullPointerException - if targetClass is null
  - createConverter
```
public abstract Converter createConverter(String converterId)

```
    Deprecated.
    
    Create an object which can be used to invoke an arbitrary method via an EL expression at a later time. This is similar to createValueBinding except that it can invoke an arbitrary method (with parameters) rather than just get/set a javabean property.
    This is used to invoke ActionListener method, and ValueChangeListener methods.
    
    Throws:
    
    ReferenceSyntaxException
  - createValidator

public abstract Validator createValidator(String validatorId)
                                   throws FacesException

    Parameters:
    validatorId - The Validator id for which to create and return a new Validator instance
    
    Throws:
    
    FacesException - if a Validator/ of the specified id cannot be created
    NullPointerException - if validatorId is null
  createValueBinding public abstract ValueBinding createValueBinding(String ref) throws ReferenceSyntaxException Deprecated. Create an object which can be used to invoke an arbitrary method via an EL expression at a later time. This is similar to createValueBinding except that it can invoke an arbitrary method (with parameters) rather than just get/set a javabean property. This is used to invoke ActionListener method, and ValueChangeListener methods. Throws: ReferenceSyntaxException evaluateExpressionGet public <T> T evaluateExpressionGet(FacesContext context, String expression, Class<? extends T> expectedType) throws javax.el.ELException Get a value by evaluating an expression. Call getExpressionFactory() then call ExpressionFactory.createValueExpression(javax.el.ELContext, java.lang.String, java.lang.Class) passing the argument expression and expectedType. Call FacesContext.getELContext() and pass it to ValueExpression.getValue(javax.el.ELContext), returning the result. An implementation is provided that throws UnsupportedOperationException so that users that decorate the Application continue to work. Throws: javax.el.ELException getActionListener public abstract ActionListener getActionListener() Return the default ActionListener to be registered for all ActionSource<3code> components in this appication. If not explicitly set, a default implementation must be provided that performs the following functions: The processAction() method must first call FacesContext.renderResponse()in order to bypass any intervening lifecycle phases, once the method returns. The processAction() method must next determine the logical outcome of this event, as follows: If the originating component has a non-null action property, retrieve the MethodBinding from the property, and call invoke() on it. Convert the returned value (if any) to a String, and use it as the logical outcome. Otherwise, the logical outcome is null. The processAction() method must finally retrieve the NavigationHandler<3code> instance for this application and call NavigationHandler.handleNavigation(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) passing: the FacesContext for the current request If there is a MethodBinding instance for the action property of this component, the result of calling MethodBinding.getExpressionString() on it, null otherwise the logical outcome as determined above Note that the specification for the default ActionListener contiues to call for the use of a deprecated property (action) and class (MethodBinding). Unfortunately, this is necessary because the default ActionListener must continue to work with components that do not implement ActionSource2, and only implement ActionSource. getBehaviorIds public Iterator<String> getBehaviorIds() Returns: Since: 2.0 FIXME: Notify EG, this should not be abstract and throw UnsupportedOperationException getComponentTypes public abstract Iterator<String> getComponentTypes() Return an Iterator over the set of currently defined component types for this Application. getConverterIds public abstract Iterator<String> getConverterIds() Return an Iterator over the set of currently registered converter ids for this Application Returns: getConverterTypes public abstract Iterator<Class<?>> getConverterTypes() Return an Iterator over the set of Class instances for which Converter classeshave been explicitly registered.

Otherwise, return an array representing the list of listeners added by calls to addELContextListener(javax.el.ELContextListener). An implementation is provided that throws UnsupportedOperationException so that users that decorate the Application continue to work. Since: 1.2 getELResolver public javax.el.ELResolver getELResolver() Return the singleton ELResolver instance to be used for all EL resolution. This is actually an instance of CompositeELResolver that must contain the following ELResolver instances in the following order: ELResolver instances declared using the element in the application configuration resources. An implementation that wraps the head of the legacy VariableResolver chain, as per section VariableResolver ChainWrapper in Chapter 5 in the spec document. An implementation that wraps the head of the legacy PropertyResolver chain, as per section PropertyResolver ChainWrapper in Chapter 5 in the spec document. Any ELResolver instances added by calls to addELResolver(javax.el.ELResolver). The default implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException and is provided for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend Application. Since: 1.2 getExpressionFactory public javax.el.ExpressionFactory getExpressionFactory() Return the ExpressionFactory instance for this application. This instance is used by the convenience method evaluateExpressionGet(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String, java.lang.Class). The implementation must return the ExpressionFactory from the JSP container by calling JspFactory.getDefaultFactory().getJspApplicationContext(servletContext).getExpressionFactory(). An implementation is provided that throws UnsupportedOperationException so that users that decorate the Application continue to work. Since: 1.2 getMessageBundle public abstract String getMessageBundle() Return the fully qualified class name of the ResourceBundle to be used for JavaServer Faces messages for this application. If not explicitly set, null is returned. getNavigationHandler public abstract NavigationHandler getNavigationHandler() Return the NavigationHandler instance that will be passed the outcome returned by any invoked application action for this web application. If not explicitly set, a default implementation must be provided that performs the functions described in the NavigationHandler class description. getProjectStage public ProjectStage getProjectStage() Return the project stage for the currently running application instance. The default value is ProjectStage.Production The implementation of this method must perform the following algorithm or an equivalent with the same end result to determine the value to return. If the value has already been determined by a previous call to this method, simply return that value. Look for a JNDI environment entry under the key given by the value of ProjectStage.PROJECT_STAGE_JNDI_NAME (return type of java.lang.String). If found, continue with the algorithm below, otherwise, look for an entry in the initParamMap of the ExternalContext from the current FacesContext with the key ProjectStage.PROJECT_STAGE_PARAM_NAME If a value is found found, see if an enum constant can be obtained by calling ProjectStage.valueOf(), passing the value from the initParamMap. If this succeeds without exception, save the value and return it. If not found, or any of the previous attempts to discover the enum constant value have failed, log a descriptive error message, assign the value as ProjectStage.Production and return it. Since: 2.0 getPropertyResolver public abstract PropertyResolver getPropertyResolver() Deprecated. Get the object used by the VariableResolver to read and write named properties on java beans, Arrays, Lists and Maps. This object is used by the ValueBinding implementation, and during the process of configuring "managed bean" properties. getResourceBundle public ResourceBundle getResourceBundle(FacesContext ctx, String name) throws FacesException, NullPointerException Find a ResourceBundle as defined in the application configuration resources under the specified name. If a ResourceBundle was defined for the name, return an instance that uses the locale of the current UIViewRoot. The default implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException and is provided for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend this class. Returns: ResourceBundle for the current UIViewRoot, otherwise null Throws: FacesException - if a bundle was defined, but not resolvable NullPointerException - if ctx == null || name == null getResourceHandler public ResourceHandler getResourceHandler() Return the singleton, stateless, thread-safe ResourceHandler for this application. The JSF implementation must support the following techniques for declaring an alternate implementation of ResourceHandler. The ResourceHandler implementation is declared in the application configuration resources by giving the fully qualified class name as the value of the element within the application element. RELEASE_PENDING(edburns) It can also be declared via an annotation as specified in [287-ConfigAnnotations]. In all of the above cases, the runtime must employ the decorator pattern as for every other pluggable artifact in JSF. Since: 2.0 getStateManager public abstract StateManager getStateManager() Return the StateManager instance that will be utilized during the Restore View and Render Response phases of the request processing lifecycle. If not explicitly set, a default implementation must be provided that performs the functions described in the StateManager description in the JavaServer Faces Specification. getSupportedLocales public abstract Iterator<Locale> getSupportedLocales() Return an Iterator over the supported Locales for this appication. getValidatorIds public abstract Iterator<String> getValidatorIds() Return an Iterator over the set of currently registered validator ids for this Application. getVariableResolver public abstract VariableResolver getVariableResolver() Deprecated. Get the object used to resolve expressions of form "#{...}". getViewHandler public abstract ViewHandler getViewHandler() Set the ViewHandler instance that will be utilized during the Restore View and Render Response phases of the request processing lifecycle. Returns: publishEvent public void publishEvent(FacesContext facesContext, Class<? extends SystemEvent> systemEventClass, Class<?> sourceBaseType, Object source) Parameters: facesContext - systemEventClass - sourceBaseType - source - Since: 2.0 publishEvent public void publishEvent(FacesContext facesContext, Class<? extends SystemEvent> systemEventClass, Object source) If there are one or more listeners for events of the type represented by systemEventClass, call those listeners,passing source as the source of the event. The implementation should be as fast as possible in determining whether or not a listener for the given systemEventClass and source has been installed, and should return immediately once such a determination has been made. The implementation of publishEvent must honor the requirements stated in subscribeToEvent(java.lang.Class, java.lang.Class, javax.faces.event.SystemEventListener) The default implementation must implement an algorithm semantically equivalent to the following to locate listener instances and to invoke them. If the source argument implements SystemEventListenerHolder, call SystemEventListenerHolder.getListenersForEventClass(java.lang.Class) on it, passing the systemEventClass argument. If the list is not empty, perform algorithm traverseListenerList on the list. If any Application level listeners have been installed by previous calls to subscribeToEvent(java.lang.Class, java.lang.Class, SystemEventListener), perform algorithm traverseListenerList on the list. If any Application level listeners have been installed by previous calls to subscribeToEvent(java.lang.Class, SystemEventListener), perform algorithm traverseListenerList on the list. If the act of invoking the processListener method causes an AbortProcessingException to be thrown, processing of the listeners must be aborted. Algorithm traverseListenerList: For each listener in the list, Call SystemEventListener.isListenerForSource(java.lang.Object), passing the source argument. If this returns false, take no action on the listener. Otherwise, if the event to be passed to the listener instances has not yet been constructed, construct the event, passing source as the argument to the one-argument constructor that takes an Object. This same event instance must be passed to all listener instances. Call SystemEvent.isAppropriateListener(javax.faces.event.FacesListener), passing the listener instance as the argument. If this returns false, take no action on the listener. Call SystemEvent.processListener(javax.faces.event.FacesListener), passing the listener instance. Parameters: systemEventClass - - The Class of event that is being published. Must be non-null. source - - The source for the event of type systemEventClass. Must be non- null, and must implement SystemEventListenerHolder. Since: 2.0 removeELContextListener public void removeELContextListener(javax.el.ELContextListener listener) Remove the argument listener from the list of ELContextListeners. If listener is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed. If listener is not in the list, no exception is thrown and no action is performed. An implementation is provided that throws UnsupportedOperationException so that users that decorate the Application continue to work. Parameters: listener - setActionListener public abstract void setActionListener(ActionListener listener) Set the default ActionListener to be registered for all ActionSource components. Parameters: listener - - The new default ActionListener Throws: NullPointerException - if listener is null setDefaultLocale public abstract void setDefaultLocale(Locale locale) Set the default Locale for this application. Parameters: locale - - The new default Locale Throws: NullPointerException - if listener is null setDefaultRenderKitId public abstract void setDefaultRenderKitId(String renderKitId) Return the renderKitId to be used for rendering this application. If not explicitly set, null is returned. Parameters: renderKitId - setMessageBundle public abstract void setMessageBundle(String bundle) Set the fully qualified class name of the ResourceBundle to be used for JavaServer Faces messages for this application. See the JavaDocs for the java.util.ResourceBundle class for more information about the syntax for resource bundle names. Parameters: bundle - - Base name of the resource bundle to be used Throws: NullPointerException - if bundle is null setNavigationHandler public abstract void setNavigationHandler(NavigationHandler handler) Set the NavigationHandler instance that will be passed the outcome returned by any invoked application action for this web application. Parameters: handler - - The new NavigationHandler instance setPropertyResolver public abstract void setPropertyResolver(PropertyResolver resolver) Deprecated. The recommended way to affect the execution of the EL is to provide an element at the right place in the application configuration resources which will be considered in the normal course of expression evaluation. This method now will cause the argument resolver to be wrapped inside an implementation of ELResolver and exposed to the EL resolution system as if the user had called addELResolver(javax.el.ELResolver). setResourceHandler public void setResourceHandler(ResourceHandler resourceHandler) Parameters: resourceHandler - Since: 2.0 setStateManager public abstract void setStateManager(StateManager manager) Set the StateManager instance that will be utilized during the Restore View and Render Response phases of the request processing lifecycle. Parameters: manager - The new StateManagerinstance Throws: IllegalStateException - if this method is called after at least one request has been processed by the Lifecycle instance for this application. NullPointerException - if manager is null setSupportedLocales public abstract void setSupportedLocales(Collection<Locale> locales) Set the Locale instances representing the supported Locales for this application. Parameters: locales - The set of supported Locales for this application Throws: NullPointerException - if the argument newLocales is null. setVariableResolver public abstract void setVariableResolver(VariableResolver resolver) Deprecated. The recommended way to affect the execution of the EL is to provide an element at the right place in the application configuration resources which will be considered in the normal course of expression evaluation. This method now will cause the argument resolver to be wrapped inside an implementation of ELResolver and exposed to the EL resolution system as if the user had called addELResolver(javax.el.ELResolver). setViewHandler public abstract void setViewHandler(ViewHandler handler) Set the ViewHandler instance that will be utilized during the Restore View and Render Response phases of the request processing lifecycle. Parameters: handler - - The new ViewHandler instance Throws: IllegalStateException - if this method is called after at least one request has been processed by the Lifecycle instance for this application. NullPointerException - if handler is null subscribeToEvent public void subscribeToEvent(Class<? extends SystemEvent> systemEventClass, Class<?> sourceClass, SystemEventListener listener) Parameters: systemEventClass - sourceClass - listener - Since: 2.0 subscribeToEvent public void subscribeToEvent(Class<? extends SystemEvent> systemEventClass, SystemEventListener listener) Parameters: systemEventClass - listener - Since: 2.0 unsubscribeFromEvent public void unsubscribeFromEvent(Class<? extends SystemEvent> systemEventClass, Class<?> sourceClass, SystemEventListener listener) Parameters: systemEventClass - sourceClass - listener - Since: 2.0 unsubscribeFromEvent public void unsubscribeFromEvent(Class<? extends SystemEvent> systemEventClass, SystemEventListener listener) Parameters: systemEventClass - listener - Since: 2.0 getFlowHandler public FlowHandler getFlowHandler() Returns: Since: 2.2 setFlowHandler public void setFlowHandler(FlowHandler flowHandler) Parameters: newHandler - Since: 2.2
