Method Detail

getSelector

ComponentResourceSelector getSelector()

Returns the selector associated with this resources.

Since:

5.3

getMessages

Messages getMessages(ComponentModel componentModel)

Used to obtain a Messages instance for a particular component. If the component extends from another component, then its localized properties will merge with its parent's properties (with the subclass overriding the super class on any conflicts).

Parameters:

componentModel -

Returns:

the message catalog for the component, in the indicated locale

coerce

<S,T> T coerce(S input,
                     <T> targetType)

Performs a coercion from an input type to a desired output type. When the target type is a primitive, the actual conversion will be to the equivalent wrapper type. In some cases, the TypeCoercer will need to search for an appropriate coercion, and may even combine existing coercions to form new ones; in those cases, the results of the search are cached.

Type Parameters:

S - source type (input)

T - target type (output)

Parameters:

input -

targetType - defines the target type

Returns:

the coerced value

See Also:

TypeCoercer

toClass

  className)

Gets the Class instance for then give name.

Parameters:

className - fully qualified class name

Returns:

the class instance

createComponentEventLink

Link createComponentEventLink(ComponentResources resources,
                               eventType,
                              boolean forForm,
                              ... context)

Creates a link on behalf of a component.

Parameters:

resources - resources for the component

eventType - type of event to create

forForm - true if generating for a form submission

context - additional event context associated with the link

Returns:

the link

Since:

5.1.0.0

createPageRenderLink

 pageName,
                          boolean override,
                          ... context)

Creates a page render request link to render a specific page.

Parameters:

pageName - the logical name of the page to link to

override - if true, the context is used even if empty (normally, the target page is allowed to passivate, providing a context, when the provided context is empty)

context - the activation context for the page. If omitted, the activation context is obtained from the target page

Returns:

link for a render request to the targetted page

Since:

5.1.0.0

createPageRenderLink

 pageClass,
                          boolean override,
                          ... context)

Creates a page render request link to render a specific page. Using a page class, rather than a page name, is more refactoring safe (in the even the page is renamed or moved).

Parameters:

pageClass - identifies the page to link to

override - if true, the context is used even if empty (normally, the target page is allowed to passivate, providing a context, when the provided context is empty)

context - the activation context for the page. If omitted, the activation context is obtained from the target page

Returns:

link for a render request to the targetted page

Since:

5.1

getEventLogger

org.slf4j.Logger getEventLogger(org.slf4j.Logger componentLogger)

Returns the event logger for the provided component logger. The event logger is based on the component logger's name (which matches the component class name) with a "tapestry..events." prefix.

Parameters:

componentLogger - provides base name for logger

Returns:

the logger

createPerThreadValue

<T> PerThreadValue<T> createPerThreadValue()

Wrapper around PerthreadManager.createValue().

Since:

5.2.0

isRenderTracingEnabled

boolean isRenderTracingEnabled()

Returns true if component element tracing is enabled. When enabled, rendering of the component produces additional comments to identify what component and stage is rendering.

Since:

5.4
