All Implemented Interfaces:

FacesListener, PhaseListener, SystemEventListener, Serializable, EventListener

public class InvokeActionEventListener
extends DefaultPhaseListener
implements SystemEventListener

The InvokeActionEventListener will add support for new <f:event> types preInvokeAction and postInvokeAction. Those events are published during the beforephase and afterphase of INVOKE_APPLICATION respectively.

This event is supported on any UIComponent, including UIViewRoot, UIForm, UIInput and UICommand components. This thus also provides the possibility to invoke multiple action listeners on a single UIInput and UICommand component on an easy manner.

As this phase listener has totally no impact on a webapp's default behavior, this phase listener is already registered by OmniFaces own faces-config.xml and thus gets auto-initialized when the OmniFaces JAR is bundled in a webapp, so endusers do not need to register this phase listener explicitly themselves.

Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor	Description
InvokeActionEventListener()	This constructor instructs the DefaultPhaseListener to hook on PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION and subscribes this instance as a SystemEventListener to the PostValidateEvent event.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	afterPhase(PhaseEvent event)	Publish the PostInvokeActionEvent event on the components which are been collected in processEvent(SystemEvent).
void	beforePhase(PhaseEvent event)	Publish the PreInvokeActionEvent event on the components which are been collected in processEvent(SystemEvent).
boolean	isListenerForSource(Object source)	Returns true only when the given source is an UIComponent which has listeners for PreInvokeActionEvent or PostInvokeActionEvent.
void	processEvent(SystemEvent event)	If the validation has not failed for the current faces context, then check if the UIComponent which passed the isListenerForSource(Object) check has any listeners for the PreInvokeActionEvent and/or PostInvokeActionEvent events and then add them to a set in the current faces context.

Constructor Details

InvokeActionEventListener

public InvokeActionEventListener()

This constructor instructs the DefaultPhaseListener to hook on PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION and subscribes this instance as a SystemEventListener to the PostValidateEvent event. This allows collecting the components eligible for PreInvokeActionEvent or PostInvokeActionEvent inside the processEvent(SystemEvent) method.

Method Details

isListenerForSource

public boolean isListenerForSource(Object source)

Returns true only when the given source is an UIComponent which has listeners for PreInvokeActionEvent or PostInvokeActionEvent.

Specified by:

isListenerForSource in interface SystemEventListener

processEvent

public void processEvent(SystemEvent event)

If the validation has not failed for the current faces context, then check if the UIComponent which passed the isListenerForSource(Object) check has any listeners for the PreInvokeActionEvent and/or PostInvokeActionEvent events and then add them to a set in the current faces context.

Specified by:

processEvent in interface SystemEventListener

beforePhase

public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent event)

Publish the PreInvokeActionEvent event on the components which are been collected in processEvent(SystemEvent).

Specified by:

beforePhase in interface PhaseListener

Overrides:

beforePhase in class DefaultPhaseListener

afterPhase

public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent event)

Publish the PostInvokeActionEvent event on the components which are been collected in processEvent(SystemEvent).

Specified by:

afterPhase in interface PhaseListener

Overrides:

afterPhase in class DefaultPhaseListener
