Class Hacks


  • public final class Hacks
    extends Object

    Collection of Faces implementation and/or Faces component library and/or server specific hacks.

    This class is not listed in showcase! Should I use it?

    This class is indeed intented for internal usage only. We won't add methods here on user request. We only add methods here once we encounter non-DRY code in OmniFaces codebase. The methods may be renamed/changed without notice.

    We don't stop you from using it if you found it in the Javadoc and you think you find it useful, but you have to accept the risk that the method signatures can be changed without notice. This utility class exists because OmniFaces intends to be free of 3rd party dependencies.
