      • isRowAvailable

        public boolean isRowAvailable()

        Return a flag indicating whether there is rowData available at the current rowIndex. If no wrappedData is available, return false.

        Returns:

      • getRowIndex

        public int getRowIndex()

        Return the zero-relative index of the currently selected row. If we are not currently positioned on a row, return -1. This property is not enabled for value binding expressions.

        Returns:
        the row index.
        Throws:
        FacesException - if an error occurs getting the row index

      • setRowIndex

        public void setRowIndex​(int rowIndex)

        Set the zero relative index of the current row, or -1 to indicate that no row is currently selected, by implementing the following algorithm. It is possible to set the row index at a value for which the underlying data collection does not contain any row data. Therefore, callers may use the isRowAvailable() method to detect whether row data will be available for use by the getRowData() method.

        To support transient state among descendents, please consult the specification for setRowStatePreserved(boolean), which details the requirements for setRowIndex() when the rowStatePreserved JavaBeans property is set to true.

        • Save current state information for all descendant components (as described below).
        • Store the new row index, and pass it on to the DataModel associated with this UIData instance.
        • If the new rowIndex value is -1:
          • If the var property is not null, remove the corresponding request scope attribute (if any).
          • Reset the state information for all descendant components (as described below).
        • If the new rowIndex value is not -1:
          • If the var property is not null, call getRowData() and expose the resulting data object as a request scope attribute whose key is the var property value.
          • Reset the state information for all descendant components (as described below).

        To save current state information for all descendant components, UIData must maintain per-row information for each descendant as follows:

        • If the descendant is an instance of EditableValueHolder, save the state of its localValue property.
        • If the descendant is an instance of EditableValueHolder, save the state of the localValueSet property.
        • If the descendant is an instance of EditableValueHolder, save the state of the valid property.
        • If the descendant is an instance of EditableValueHolder, save the state of the submittedValue property.

        To restore current state information for all descendant components, UIData must reference its previously stored information for the current rowIndex and call setters for each descendant as follows:

        • If the descendant is an instance of EditableValueHolder, restore the value property.
        • If the descendant is an instance of EditableValueHolder, restore the state of the localValueSet property.
        • If the descendant is an instance of EditableValueHolder, restore the state of the valid property.
        • If the descendant is an instance of EditableValueHolder, restore the state of the submittedValue property.
        Parameters:
        rowIndex - The new row index value, or -1 for no associated row
        Throws:
        FacesException - if an error occurs setting the row index
        IllegalArgumentException - if rowIndex is less than -1

      • getRows

        public int getRows()

        Return the number of rows to be displayed, or zero for all remaining rows in the table. The default value of this property is zero.

        Returns:
        the number of rows.

      • setRows

        public void setRows​(int rows)

        Set the number of rows to be displayed, or zero for all remaining rows in the table.

        Parameters:
        rows - New number of rows
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if rows is negative

      • getVar

        public String getVar()

        Return the request-scope attribute under which the data object for the current row will be exposed when iterating. This property is not enabled for value binding expressions.

        Returns:
        he request-scope attribute.

      • setVar

        public void setVar​(String var)

        Set the request-scope attribute under which the data object for the current row wil be exposed when iterating.

        Parameters:
        var - The new request-scope attribute name

      • isRowStatePreserved

        public boolean isRowStatePreserved()

        Return the value of the rowStatePreserved JavaBeans property. See setRowStatePreserved(boolean).

        Returns:
        the value of the rowStatePreserved.
        Since:
        2.1

      • getValue

        public Object getValue()

        Return the value of the UIData. This value must either be be of type DataModel, or a type that can be adapted into a DataModel. UIData will automatically adapt the following types:

        • Arrays
        • java.util.List
        • java.sql.ResultSet
        • java.util.Collection

        All other types will be adapted using the ScalarDataModel class, which will treat the object as a single row of data.

        Returns:
        the object for the value.

      • setValue

        public void setValue​(Object value)

        Set the value of the UIData. This value must either be be of type DataModel, or a type that can be adapted into a DataModel.

        Parameters:
        value - the new value

      • getClientId

        public String getClientId​(FacesContext context)

        Return a client identifier for this component that includes the current value of the rowIndex property, if it is not set to -1. This implies that multiple calls to getClientId() may return different results, but ensures that child components can themselves generate row-specific client identifiers (since UIData is a NamingContainer).

        Overrides:
        getClientId in class UIComponentBase
        Parameters:
        context - The FacesContext for the current request
        Returns:
        the client id.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if context is null

      • invokeOnComponent

        public boolean invokeOnComponent​(FacesContext context,
                                 String clientId,
                                 ContextCallback callback)
                          throws FacesException

        Override behavior from UIComponentBase.invokeOnComponent(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String, jakarta.faces.component.ContextCallback) to provide special care for positioning the data properly before finding the component and invoking the callback on it. If the argument clientId is equal to this.getClientId() simply invoke the contextCallback, passing the context argument and this as arguments, and return true. If the argument clientId is not equal to this.getClientId(), inspect each of the facet children of this UIData instance and for each one, compare its clientId with the argument clientId. If there is a match, invoke the contextCallback, passing the context argument and this as arguments, and return true. Otherwise, attempt to extract a rowIndex from the clientId. For example, if the argument clientId was form:data:3:customerHeader the rowIndex would be 3. Let this value be called newIndex. The current rowIndex of this instance must be saved aside and restored before returning in all cases, regardless of the outcome of the search or if any exceptions are thrown in the process.

        The implementation of this method must never return true if setting the rowIndex of this instance to be equal to newIndex causes this instance to return false from isRowAvailable().

        Overrides:
        invokeOnComponent in class UIComponentBase
        Parameters:
        context - the FacesContext for the current request
        clientId - the client identifier of the component to be passed to the argument callback.
        callback - an implementation of the Callback interface.
        Returns:
        true if the a component with the given clientId is found, the callback method was successfully invoked passing that component as an argument, and no Exception was thrown. Returns false if no component with the given clientId is found.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if any of the arguments are null
        FacesException - if the argument Callback throws an Exception, it is wrapped in a FacesException and re-thrown. Also throws FacesException if any exception is thrown when deriving the rowIndex from the argument clientId.
        Since:
        1.2

        public void encodeBegin​(FacesContext context)
                 throws IOException

        In addition to the default behavior, ensure that any saved per-row state for our child input components is discarded unless it is needed to rerender the current page with errors.

      • markInitialState

        public void markInitialState()

        Override the base class method to take special action if the method is being invoked when StateManager.IS_BUILDING_INITIAL_STATE is true and the rowStatePreserved JavaBeans property for this instance is true.

        The additional action taken is to traverse the descendents and save their state without regard to any particular row value.

        Specified by:
        markInitialState in interface PartialStateHolder
        Overrides:
        markInitialState in class UIComponentBase
        Since:
        2.1

      • saveState

        public Object saveState​(FacesContext context)
        Description copied from interface: StateHolder

        Gets the state of the instance as a Serializable Object.

        If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.saveState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext) method on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is done via the StateManager

        This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code: 

         
 Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);

        component should be the same as before executing it.

        The return from this method must be Serializable

        Specified by:
        saveState in interface StateHolder
        Overrides:
        saveState in class UIComponentBase
        Parameters:
        context - the Faces context.
        Returns:
        the saved state.

      • getDataModel

        protected DataModel getDataModel()

        Return the internal DataModel object representing the data objects that we will iterate over in this component's rendering.

        If the model has been cached by a previous call to setDataModel(jakarta.faces.model.DataModel), return it. Otherwise call getValue(). If the result is null, create an empty ListDataModel and return it. If the result is an instance of DataModel, return it. Otherwise, adapt the result as described in getValue() and return it.

        Returns:
        the data model.

      • setDataModel

        protected void setDataModel​(DataModel dataModel)

        Set the internal DataModel. This UIData instance must use the given DataModel as its internal value representation from now until the next call to setDataModel. If the given DataModel is null, the internal DataModel must be reset in a manner so that the next call to getDataModel() causes lazy instantion of a newly refreshed DataModel.

        Subclasses might call this method if they either want to restore the internal DataModel during the Restore View phase or if they want to explicitly refresh the current DataModel for the Render Response phase.

        Parameters:
        dataModel - the new DataModel or null to cause the model to be refreshed.
