Events

Type Phases Description
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.AttributeChangeEvent Invoke Application,
Apply Request Values		 Event delivered to describe an attribute change. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.

Attributes

Name Type Supports EL? Description
accessKey char Yes Character used to gain quick access to the form element specified by the for, if set (or this component itself, if it is a "non-simple" form element). For accessibility reasons, this functionality is not supported in screen reader mode. If the same access key appears in multiple locations in the same page of output, the rendering user agent will cycle among the elements accessed by the similar keys.

This attribute is sometimes referred to as the "mnemonic".

alignment String Yes Valid Values: top, start, end, bottom, center

alignment of the elements. Defaults to "center", if not specified. Other values are "start", "end", "top", and "bottom".
attributeChangeListener javax.el.MethodExpression Only EL a method reference to an attribute change listener. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.
binding org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.component.core.layout.CorePanelChoice Only EL an EL reference that will store the component instance on a bean. This can be used to give programmatic access to a component from a backing bean, or to move creation of the component to a backing bean.
id String No the identifier for the component. The identifier must follow a subset of the syntax allowed in HTML:
  • Must not be a zero-length String.
  • First character must be an ASCII letter (A-Za-z) or an underscore ('_').
  • Subsequent characters must be an ASCII letter or digit (A-Za-z0-9), an underscore ('_'), or a dash ('-').
inlineStyle String Yes the CSS styles to use for this component.
label String Yes the user-visible text of the item
labelAndAccessKey String Yes An attribute that will simultaneously set both the "value" and "accessKey" attributes from a single value, using conventional ampersand ('&') notation.

For example, setting this attribute to "L&amp;abel" will set the label to "Label" and the access key to 'a'.

onclick String Yes an onclick Javascript handler.
ondblclick String Yes an ondblclick Javascript handler.
onkeydown String Yes an onkeydown Javascript handler.
onkeypress String Yes an onkeypress Javascript handler.
onkeyup String Yes an onkeyup Javascript handler.
onmousedown String Yes an onmousedown Javascript handler.
onmousemove String Yes an onmousemove Javascript handler.
onmouseout String Yes an onmouseout Javascript handler.
onmouseover String Yes an onmouseover Javascript handler.
onmouseup String Yes an onmouseup Javascript handler.
partialTriggers String[] Yes the IDs of the components that should trigger a partial update.

This component will listen on the trigger components. If one of the trigger components receives an event that will cause it to update in some way, this component will request to be updated too.

Separate multiple triggers with a space. e.g., partialTriggers="cmp1 cmp2"

Identifiers must account for NamingContainers. You can use a single colon to start the search from the root, or use multiple colons to move up through the NamingContainer. For example, "::" will pop out of this component's naming container (it pops out of itself if it is a naming container), ":::" will pop out of two naming containers, etc. The search for the partialTrigger begins from there. e.g., partialTriggers=":::commandButton1" the search begins for the component with id = commandButton1 after popping out of two naming containers relative to this component. To go into naming containers, you separate the naming containers with ':', e.g.,partialTriggers= "nc1:nc2:nc3:componentId".
position String Yes Valid Values: top, start

position of the control elements. Defaults to "start", if not specified. Other value supported is"top".
rendered boolean Yes whether the component is rendered. When set to false, no output will be delivered for this component (the component will not in any way be rendered, and cannot be made visible on the client).
shortDesc String Yes The short description of the component. This text is commonly used by user agents to display tooltip help text.
styleClass String Yes a CSS style class to use for this component.
