Render an HTML option list.
Decode Behavior for UISelectMany
components
Obtain the Map
from the "requestParameterValuesMap" property of the ExternalContext
. If the Map
contains an entry for the "clientId" of the component, pass the value of the entry, cast to a String []
, to the setSubmittedValue()
method of the component, which must be an EditableValueHolder
. If the Map
does not contain an entry, create an empty String
array and call setSubmittedValue()
with it.
Decode Behavior for UISelectOne
components
Obtain the Map
from the "requestParameterMap" property of the ExternalContext
. If there is a Map
entry for the "clientId" property of the component, pass it to the setSubmittedValue()
method of the component.
Encode Behavior
Render an HTML "select" element. Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "select" element. If the component is a UISelectMany
instance, render "multiple" as the value of the "multiple" attribute. If the "size" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "size" attribute. Otherwise use the number of items as the value of the "size" attribute.
Rendering the "option" elements
The only valid children of this component are UISelectItem
or UISelectItems
instances. Iterate over the children of this component, and accrue a list of javax.faces.model.SelectItem
instances. If the current child is a UISelectItem
create a SelectItem
instance from its itemValue, itemLabel
and itemDescription
properties, add it to the list. If the current child is a UISelectItems
instance, call its getValue()
method. If the result is a SelectItem
bean, add it to the list. If the result is an array of SelectItem
beans, add each one t othe list. If the result is a Collection
of SelectItem
beans, add each one to the list. If the result isa Map
, create a SelectItem
bean for each entry in the Map
using the key as the label, the value as the value, and null
as the description. Iterate over the list of SelectItem
beans. If the current element is a SelectItemGroup
, render an "optgroup" element with a "label" attribute, the value of which is the "label" property from the current element, then call getSelectItems()
and render each element as below. If the current element is not a SelectItemGroup
, render an "option" element. Follow the conversion rules in the spec to obtain a renderable String
from the "value" property of the current element, render that as the value of the "value" atribute. Now it is time to see if the current element is the selected value. call its getSubmittedValue()
method, casting the result to an Object []
, otherwise the component must be a UISelectOne
instance, call its getSubmittedValue()
method and create an Object []
around the result. Determine the type of the resultant array if the resultant array is non-null, otherwise the type is String
. Coerce the current item value to this type following the Expression Language coercion rules. If the resultant array is non-null, we look in the array for a value that, when we pass the renderable value to its equals()
method, it returns true
, meaning the current element is selected. If the resultant array is null
, if the component is a UISelectMany
, call its getValue()
method. If the result is a List
obtain the values in the list as an array. Otherwise, the component must be a UISelectOne
instance. Call its getValue()
method, which must be an Object array. Look for an element in the resultant array that, 1. when we pass the renderable value to its equals()
method, it returns true
, or 2. if the renderable value is null, and there is a null element in the array, also conclude that the current element is selected. Otherwise the current element is not selected. Now, if the current value is selected, write out an HTML boolean property "selected". If the current SelectItem.isDisabled() returns true, render "disabled" as the value of the "disabled" attribute.
