Constructor Detail

AbstractPage

public AbstractPage()

Standard constructor; invokes initialize()to configure initial values for properties of the page.

Since:

2.2

Method Detail

detach

public void detach()

Prepares the page to be returned to the pool.

• Clears the changeObserved property
• Invokes PageDetachListener.pageDetached(PageEvent)on all listeners
• Invokes initialize()to clear/reset any properties
• Clears the engine, visit and requestCycle properties

Subclasses may override this method, but must invoke this implementation (usually, last).

Specified by:

detach in interface IPage

See Also:

PageDetachListener

initialize

protected void initialize()

Deprecated. To be removed in 4.1 with no replacement.

Method invoked from the constructor, and from detach()to (re-)initialize properties of the page. This is most useful when properties have non-null initial values.

Subclasses may override this implementation (which is empty).

Since:

2.2

See Also:

PageDetachListener, PageAttachListener

getEngine

public IEngine getEngine()

Description copied from interface: IPage

Returns the IEnginethat the page is currently attached to.

Specified by:

getEngine in interface IPage

getChangeObserver

public ChangeObserver getChangeObserver()

Description copied from interface: IPage

Returns the object (effectively, an IPageRecorder) that is notified of any changes to persistant properties of the page.

Specified by:

getChangeObserver in interface IPage

getExtendedId

public java.lang.String getExtendedId()

Returns the name of the page.

Specified by:

getExtendedId in interface IComponent

Overrides:

getExtendedId in class AbstractComponent

See Also:

AbstractComponent.getIdPath()

getIdPath

public java.lang.String getIdPath()

Pages always return null for idPath.

Specified by:

getIdPath in interface IComponent

Overrides:

getIdPath in class AbstractComponent

See Also:

IComponent.getId()

getLocale

public java.util.Locale getLocale()

Returns the locale for the page, which may be null if the locale is not known (null corresponds to the "default locale").

Specified by:

getLocale in interface IPage

setLocale

public void setLocale(java.util.Locale value)

Description copied from interface: IPage

Updates the page's locale. This is write-once, a subsequent attempt will throw an ApplicationRuntimeException.

Specified by:

setLocale in interface IPage

getNestedComponent

public IComponent getNestedComponent(java.lang.String path)

Description copied from interface: IPage

Returns a particular component from within the page. The path is a dotted name sequence identifying the component. It may be null in which case the page returns itself.

Specified by:

getNestedComponent in interface IPage

attach

public void attach(IEngine engine,
                   IRequestCycle cycle)

Called by the engineto attach the page to itself. Does not change the locale, but since a page is selected from the IPageSourcepool based on its locale matching the engine's locale, they should match anyway.

Specified by:

attach in interface IPage

renderPage

public void renderPage(IMarkupWriter writer,
                       IRequestCycle cycle)

• Invokes PageBeginRenderListener.pageBeginRender(PageEvent)
• Invokes beginResponse(IMarkupWriter, IRequestCycle)
• Invokes IRequestCycle.commitPageChanges()(if not rewinding)
• Invokes AbstractComponent.render(IMarkupWriter, IRequestCycle)
• Invokes PageEndRenderListener.pageEndRender(PageEvent)(this occurs even if a previous step throws an exception)

  Specified by:

  renderPage in interface IPage

setChangeObserver

public void setChangeObserver(ChangeObserver value)

Specified by:

setChangeObserver in interface IPage

setPageName

public void setPageName(java.lang.String pageName)

Description copied from interface: IPage

Sets the name of the page.

Specified by:

setPageName in interface IPage

Parameters:

pageName - fully qualified page name (including namespace prefix, if any)

Since:

3.0 *

validate

public void validate(IRequestCycle cycle)

By default, pages are not protected and this method does nothing.

Specified by:

validate in interface IPage

beginResponse

public void beginResponse(IMarkupWriter writer,
                          IRequestCycle cycle)

Deprecated. To be removed in 4.0. Implement PageRenderListenerinstead.

Does nothing, subclasses may override as needed.

Specified by:

beginResponse in interface IPage

getRequestCycle

public IRequestCycle getRequestCycle()

Description copied from interface: IPage

Returns the current IRequestCycle. This is set when the page is loaded (or obtained from the pool) and attached to the engine.

Specified by:

getRequestCycle in interface IPage

getVisit

public java.lang.Object getVisit()

Deprecated.

Returns the visit object obtained from the engine via IEngine.getVisit(IRequestCycle).

Specified by:

getVisit in interface IPage

getGlobal

firePageAttached

public void firePageAttached()

Description copied from interface: IPage

Used to explicitly fire PageAttachListeners for this page. This is used when a page is first loaded; The page loader attaches the newly created page instance before the rest of the page and components is loaded.
