All Implemented Interfaces:

FacesWrapper<ViewHandler>

public class OmniViewHandler
extends ViewHandlerWrapper

OmniFaces view handler. This class was before version 2.5 known as RestorableViewHandler. This view handler performs the following tasks:

1. Since 1.3: Recreate entire view when EnableRestorableView tag is in the metadata. This effectively prevents the ViewExpiredException on the view.
2. Since 2.2: Detect unload requests coming from ViewScoped beans. This will create a dummy view and only restore the view scoped state instead of building and restoring the entire view.
3. Since 2.5: If project stage is development, then throw an IllegalStateException when there's a nested UIForm component.
4. Since 3.10: If ViewResourceHandler.isViewResourceRequest(FacesContext) is true, then replace the HTML response writer with a XML response writer in renderView(FacesContext, UIViewRoot), and ensure that proper action URL is returned in ViewHandlerWrapper.getActionURL(FacesContext, String).

Since:

1.3

Method Detail

createView

public UIViewRoot createView(FacesContext context,
                             String viewId)

If the current request is a sw.js request from PWAResourceHandler, then create a dummy view and trigger FacesContext.responseComplete() so that it won't be built nor rendered.

Overrides:

createView in class ViewHandlerWrapper

restoreView

public UIViewRoot restoreView(FacesContext context,
                              String viewId)

If the current request is an unload request from ViewScoped, then create a dummy view, restore only the view root state and then immediately explicitly destroy the view, else restore the view as usual. If the <o:enableRestoreView> is used once in the application, and the restored view is null and the current request is a postback, then recreate and rebuild the view from scratch. If it indeed contains the <o:enableRestoreView>, then return the newly created view, else return null.

Overrides:

restoreView in class ViewHandlerWrapper

renderView

public void renderView(FacesContext context,
                       UIViewRoot viewToRender)
                throws IOException

Overrides:
