public final class Events
extends Object

Collection of utility methods for the Faces API with respect to working with system and phase events.

Usage

Here are some examples:

 // Add a callback to the current view which should run during every after phase of the render response on same view.
 Events.subscribeToViewAfterPhase(PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE, () -> {
     // ...
 });
 

 // Add a callback to the current request which should run during before phase of the render response on current request.
 Events.subscribeToRequestBeforePhase(PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE, () -> {
     // ...
 });
 

 // Add a callback to the current view which should run during the pre render view event.
 Events.subscribeToViewEvent(PreRenderViewEvent.class, () -> {
     // ...

Subscribe the given callback to the current view that get invoked every time when the given system event type is published on the current view.

Parameters:

type - The system event type to be observed.

callback - The callback to be invoked.

Since:

2.0

See Also:

• subscribeToViewEvent(Class, SystemEventListener)

addViewPhaseListener

public static void addViewPhaseListener(PhaseListener listener)

Adds the given phase listener to the current view. The difference with addRequestPhaseListener(PhaseListener) is that the given phase listener is invoked during every (postback) request on the same view instead of only during the current request.

Parameters:

listener - The phase listener to be added to the current view.

Since:

2.0

See Also:

• UIViewRoot.addPhaseListener(PhaseListener)

subscribeToViewBeforePhase

public static void subscribeToViewBeforePhase(PhaseId phaseId,
 Runnable callback)

Subscribe the given callback instance to the current view that get invoked every time before given phase ID.

Parameters:

phaseId - The phase ID to be observed.

callback - The callback to be invoked.

Since:

2.0

See Also:

• addViewPhaseListener(PhaseListener)

subscribeToViewBeforePhase

public static void subscribeToViewBeforePhase(PhaseId phaseId,
 Consumer<PhaseEvent> callback)

Subscribe the given callback instance to the current view that get invoked every time before given phase ID.

Parameters:

phaseId - The phase ID to be observed.

callback - The callback to be invoked.

• addViewPhaseListener(PhaseListener)

subscribeToViewAfterPhase

public static void subscribeToViewAfterPhase(PhaseId phaseId,
 Runnable callback)

Subscribe the given callback instance to the current view that get invoked every time after given phase ID.

Parameters:

phaseId - The phase ID to be observed.

callback - The callback to be invoked.

Since:

• addViewPhaseListener(PhaseListener)

subscribeToViewAfterPhase

public static void subscribeToViewAfterPhase(PhaseId phaseId,
 Consumer<PhaseEvent> callback)

Parameters:

phaseId - The phase ID to be observed.

callback - The callback to be invoked.

Since:

2.0

• addViewPhaseListener(PhaseListener)

subscribeToRequestComponentEvent

public static void subscribeToRequestComponentEvent(UIComponent component,
 Class<? extends ComponentSystemEvent> type,
 Consumer<ComponentSystemEvent> callback)

Subscribe the given callback instance to the given component that get invoked only in the current request when the given component system event type is published on the given component. The difference with UIComponent.subscribeToEvent(Class, ComponentSystemEventListener) is that this listener is request scoped instead of view scoped as component system event listeners are by default saved in Faces state and thus inherently view scoped.

Parameters:

component - The component to subscribe the given callback instance to.

type - The system event type to be observed.

callback - The callback to be invoked.

Since:

2.1

• UIComponent.subscribeToEvent(Class, ComponentSystemEventListener)
• unsubscribeFromComponentEvent(UIComponent, Class, ComponentSystemEventListener)

addRequestPhaseListener

public static void addRequestPhaseListener(PhaseListener listener)

Adds the given phase listener to the current request. The difference with addViewPhaseListener(PhaseListener) is that the given phase listener is invoked only during the current request instead of during every (postback) request on the same view.

Parameters:

listener - The phase listener to be added to the current request.

Since:

2.0

See Also:

• CallbackPhaseListener

subscribeToRequestBeforePhase

public static void subscribeToRequestBeforePhase(PhaseId phaseId,
 Runnable callback)

Subscribe the given callback instance to the current request that get invoked before given phase ID.

Parameters:

phaseId - The phase ID to be observed.

callback - The callback to be invoked.

Since:

2.0

See Also:

• addRequestPhaseListener(PhaseListener)

subscribeToRequestBeforePhase

public static void subscribeToRequestBeforePhase(PhaseId phaseId,
 Consumer<PhaseEvent> callback)

Subscribe the given callback instance to the current request that get invoked before given phase ID.

Parameters:

phaseId - The phase ID to be observed.

callback - The callback to be invoked.

Since:

See Also:

• addRequestPhaseListener(PhaseListener)

subscribeToRequestAfterPhase

public static void subscribeToRequestAfterPhase(PhaseId phaseId,

Subscribe the given callback instance to the current request that get invoked after given phase ID.

Parameters:

phaseId - The phase ID to be observed.

callback - The callback to be invoked.

• addRequestPhaseListener(PhaseListener)

subscribeToRequestAfterPhase

public static void subscribeToRequestAfterPhase(PhaseId phaseId,
 Consumer<PhaseEvent> callback)

Subscribe the given callback instance to the current request that get invoked after given phase ID.

Parameters:

phaseId - The phase ID to be observed.

callback - The callback to be invoked.

Since:

2.0

See Also:

• addRequestPhaseListener(PhaseListener)

unsubscribeFromComponentEvent

public static void unsubscribeFromComponentEvent(UIComponent component,
 Class<? extends SystemEvent> event,
 ComponentSystemEventListener listener)

Unsubscribe the given event listener on the given event from the given component. Normally, you would use UIComponent.unsubscribeFromEvent(Class, ComponentSystemEventListener) for this, but this wouldn't work when executed inside ComponentSystemEventListener.processEvent(jakarta.faces.event.ComponentSystemEvent), as it would otherwise end up in a ConcurrentModificationException while Faces is iterating over all system event listeners. The trick is to perform the unsubscribe during the after phase of the current request phase subscribeToRequestAfterPhase(PhaseId, Runnable).

Parameters:

component - The component to unsubscribe the given event listener from.

event - The event associated with the given event listener.

listener - The event listener to be unsubscribed from the given component.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - When this method is invoked during render response phase, because it would be too late to remove it from the view state.

Since:

2.1
